Seasonal Depression and winter wellness

Seasonal Depression and Winter Wellness: Supporting Autistic Individuals Through the Cold Months When winter rolls in, the world slows down. Days get shorter, light fades faster, and the air feels heavier. For many people, that shift can trigger seasonal depression but for autistic individuals, the impact is often deeper, more complex, and more misunderstood. Winter can intensify sensory overload, disrupt routines, change sleep cycles, and increase fatigue. And while seasonal depression is co...

The AI Transformation Dilemma

Two important studies dropped four days ago. On the same day. Anthropic analyzed 100,000 real conversations with Claude and found that AI cuts task time by 80%. Tasks that would take 90 minutes without AI? Done in 18 minutes with it. McKinsey mapped skills across 800 occupations and reached a starker conclusion: 57% of all US work hours can be automated with technology that exists right now. Not in five years. Not "when the models get better." Today. The numbers are extraordinary. If this sca...

My Seeker Phone

I got a Seeker phone and set it up yesterday. My son showed me his a month or so ago and I immediately wanted one of my own. The Seeker phone is an Android phone, very similar to my Pixel 9 Pro in most respects, but also has a Solana hardware wallet and Solana dApp store on it.I moved my Helium Mobile phone number from a second SIM on my Pixel to be the primary phone number on the Seeker. I got the Helium Mobile app from the dApp store on the Seeker phone. I like the idea of a crypto native p...

The two ways to buy land: Then vs. now

Way back when everyone wanted to buy development land, my friend Jeremiah Shamess of Colliers used to always tell me that the only way to do this was to either (1) pay the most or (2) believe in something that others don’t. This — making non-consensus bets — is something I like to talk about a lot on this blog, but what did that mean back then? Well, when sites were seeing dozens of offers and the market was hyper-competitive, you really had to work to find any sort of overlooked value. Maybe...

Nick Woltemade: Dancing Between The Stats

Woltemessi?Every once in a while, a new player gets compared to Messi. If you've been around long enough, you know the drill. It's usually a bright young wonder kid, a good dribbler, great in tight spaces, and can play multiple positions across the forward. After a few good games, people start throwing terms like "Messi-esque" around when describing them. This year, Newcastle signed 23-year-old Nick Woltemade from VFB Stuttgart, and I noticed fans of the German club referring to him as "Wolte...

The power of A positive attitude

The Power of a Positive Attitude: Why It Matters for Caregivers of Autistic and Special Needs Individuals Caring for a neurodivergent loved one is one of the most demanding, emotionally layered, and deeply human roles anyone can take on. It requires energy, patience, flexibility, and a level of emotional presence that many people never fully understand. But at the center of it all is something that shapes every moment, every decision, and every outcome: attitude. A positive mindset isn’t abou...

12 Hard Truths: Brazil Will Break Your Crypto Neobank if You Ignore Them

When crypto neobanks, those operating with stablecoins and on-chain digital accounts, look at Brazil, they tend to see the same picture: a large, digital-first country, historically burdened by high banking fees and, at first glance, seemingly perfect for disruption. But that is an incomplete reading. Brazil does not work like a “generic emerging market” where offering fast, low-cost transactions is enough to drive adoption. The country already operates with a level of efficiency and speed th...

here's a sentence i never saw coming: i just got home from buenos aires, where my art was featured in an exhibition as part of the devconnect conference in argentina.

From 10 free hours to zero marginal cost

The first time I ever used dial-up internet was sometime in the 1990s. Some of you will remember that a company called CompuServe used to mail out floppy disks with "10 free hours." And I still remember the feeling of amazement the first time I tried it. Suddenly, I could chat with people from around the world. Remember a/s/l? It was so enthralling that those 10 free hours certainly didn't last very long. Fast forward to more recent times, and I got that exact same feeling of amazement when I...
