I couldn’t take it anymore, so I set out to build a simple trading bot. I set it up with Kraken, which has a nice API, and built it on my VPS with Codex. The shills on Twitter are always posting about how these bots make so much money overnight. My problem is that I…

Water
Have you drank your water today? I have, and I do everyday… sure it is mixed with concentrated cold brew from 7eleven but whatever. Sometimes in life you have to make tough choices like the water bill or token maxxing. Today was one of those days. Red notice on door, temporary disruption. Fine. We are…

Redline
The hard work on FullOut is coming together. Today we announced a partnership with Redline Championships that is a multi-year partnership for hosting their scores and exclusive event activations in 2026-2027 season. I can’t really explain how fun this it. It started with pain, “I don’t understand cheerleading scores” and now we are making deals…

Max Plan
I did it. I was hitting limits on the entry plan and said yolo. It has been a month, and I have built out two apps now. It is pretty crazy what is possible with Claude and VSCode, but you still have to juggle building and getting users. I think getting users is proving to…

FullOut Vibing
Last summer, I built out a working web app that focused on organizing data from H-1B Visas across the US. It was a fun little project, more like a mind virus that had to get out, but fun nonetheless. It helped me understand how to deploy an app from your local machine to production internet.…

Walkman Archive
From a time when tech had soul. It feels like it is coming back, but then again maybe it is just me yearning for nostalgia. Do I own a single cassette tape? No. Do I have a desire to have tapes and record to tape? Yes. I follow https://bitpunk.fm who runs an insane podcast project…

Photography Journey

Reflections and Resolutions 25/26
I can only describe 2025 as a year of hills and valleys, mostly very dark valleys, but also some very bright hilltops. I would describe this year as a Mike Tyson year; you know the old quote, “Everyone’s got a plan until they get punched in the mouth1.” It was a beatdown, but in the…

Apple Pie

Beefsteak: All You Can Hold for Five Bucks
This was originally published in The New Yorker in 1939 by Joseph Mitchell – link here. A tour of New York’s boisterous “beefsteak” banquets, from Wertheimer’s East Side feasts to Bob Ellis’s West Side dungeon. THE New York steak dinner, or “beefsteak,” is a form of gluttony as stylized and regional as the riverbank fish…

This is what astral projection feels like
I do t really know if there’s a difference between astral projection and flying in dreams but it doesn’t really matter. All I know is that I’ve flown and I believe I’ve astral projected.

On Anxiousness
We went to a local prot church Saturday night with some neighbors. It is a church that has 4 locations, so we went to church and watched a preacher on a tv preach from a different campus. Ok that’s besides the point, although it is noteworthy. The pastors message was good, these guys are quite…

I’m reading a book that’s referenced daily by Clancy, The Game Of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn. In chapter 3 or 4 she speaks about the boomerang law and the exercise of swapping out the word Lord for the word Law when studying the Bible. It’s fascinating how it reads.…

The Writing Is On The Wall
