AVCSleep
I got an Oura ring a couple of years ago and have been working on improving my sleep and sleep habits ever since. For much of my adult life, I have been a poor sleeper. I have always been able to fall asleep quickly, but I have been plagued by two sleep issues. The first is waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to get back to sleep. The second is waking up early, like 4:30/5am, and being wide awake. So I’ve been working on those two things. I still wake up in the middle of t...

I have written many times here that it is important to me that I control the platform that I publish on. I use the open-source WordPress software for my content management system and run that on a hosted server. I use my own domain, AVC.com, to locate my writings on the Internet. That has served me well. No matter how horrible I become, nobody is going to take me down. But we can go even further down this path of controlling our destiny. We can decentralize the entire thing; the content manag...

Are you a New Yorker doing something amazing and could use $200,000 to support your work?
If so, you should apply for a David Prize. I have written about this program before so you might remember. But for those who haven’t heard about it, here’s the deal:
Here are the most recent cohort of David Prize winners:
● Cesar Vargas: Fighting for immigrants in the armed forces and their right to stay in the U.S.
● Fela Barclift: Sparking academic excellence and positive self-esteem among NYC’s youngest learners (this video is amazing)
● Felicia Wilson: Inspiring foster care alumni to support young people “aging out”
● Mr. Five Mualimm-ak: Creating essential community for justice-impacted youth serving supervision sentences
● Jaime-Jin Lewis: Envisioning a childcare system where providers, families, and children can thrive
The folks behind the David Prize are looking for broader representation from the “the tech / science / invention circles” which describes many AVC readers.
If you want to apply for a David Prize, you can do so here. Applications are due by December 21st.
