Exploring the protocol stack of my hometown

In January of last year, the Eaton and Palisades fires showed in clear and present terms the cost of inaction on the climate crisis. Fires are common in Southern California, a fixture really, yet January's fires were the worst in LA's history, pushed deep into the urban core by hurricane force winds. Our cities operate in a twilight hour between two worlds. One world is the familiar machinery of departments, forms, and workflows that feel carved in stone. The other is the emerging landscape o...

Cusp of Rebirth V1 Reveal

This year for my birthday I decided to start a new tradition to break my birthday curse once and for all in which I create an open call for art to put together a Metaverse gallery and party. The theme of this open call I decided should be centered around the astrological themes of my birthday ~ Cusp of Rebirth. Pisces is the last sign of the Zodiac, and Aries the first, so the transition period of March 17th - 23rd is referred to as the Cusp of Rebirth. All Zodiac signs inbetweens have cusps....

The fragility of the Dubai model

My friend Alex Feldman just shared this New York Times opinion piece with me. Along with it, he said, "Thought you'd appreciate this." And he was right, because he knows me. He and I have a long history of geeking out about cities, hosteling around Europe together, and booking irresponsible flights at odd times in odd locations. The article is by Richard Florida, and it's called "Dubai Was Not Built For War." It follows one of the themes that we recently spoke about, here. People come to citi...

DCP at SXSW 2026: Where the Real Conversation Was Distribution

SXSW 2026 reminded us that indie filmmaking is alive and well with the streets buzzing in downtown Austin, TX. While filmmaking talent and tools have never been more accessible, getting your film seen after the fest is still the hardest part. Throughout the week, the Decentralized Pictures team connected with dozens of filmmakers—from first-time directors to seasoned indie veterans—and one theme came up again and again: distribution remains the bottleneck. Filmmakers spoke candidly about the ...

The Red Queen hypothesis

Entrepreneurship is a critical component of city-building. You want people taking risks, starting new companies, and creating jobs to grow the overall economy. And to accomplish this, you roughly need a bunch of smart people, access to money, and a culture that accepts failure and risk-taking. Then, maybe, you might get some successful startups. The key word, however, is maybe. Here's an interesting essay by Jerry Neumann — a retired venture investor — called "We Have Learned Nothing." In it,...

Reality: To Follow

A Room, ReimaginedEver since the January blizzard in New York City, we’ve been living with a plaster-cracked ceiling in our dining area. While we waited for the snow to melt and the weather to warm up so that roofers could address the problem straight to the source, I started imagining what a completely new look might bring for our dining area. I settled on a different paint color (sage green) and a more inviting ceiling light. We haven’t been able to make any of these changes yet, but for my...

NVIDIA's GTC: The 10 Key Takeaways ✍🏽

GTC 2026 was not a product launch. It was a declaration of intent. Jensen Huang took the stage and did not hold back. New chips, new robots, new software, and a roadmap that stretches to 2028. Here are the 10 takeaways that actually matter, from the silicon that just reset the economics of AI to the quiet moves that will reshape factories, cars, and cities over the next decade.

Bank balances over built form

Now that the results from Paris' first round of municipal elections are in, I thought I would do a follow-up to my post from a few days ago (which was mostly about bicycles). The second and final round happens this weekend, but here's what we've learned so far:Emmanuel Grégoire (Union of the Left) is in the lead with 37.98% of the vote:And Rachida Dati (Union of the Right) is in second with 25.46% of the vote:What is not unexpected, but super interesting nonetheless, is the clear divide betwe...
