Before laneway homes were permitted as-of-right in Toronto, many people couldn't imagine them being a viable housing solution, let alone a desirable housing solution. I vividly remember some critics arguing that only people of questionable moral fiber would want to live in a laneway. Toronto's laneways were only suitable for garages, cars, graffiti, and degenerates, apparently. If you're a longtime reader of this blog you'll know that I've always felt differently. In 2014, I wrote a post call...

Everything happening in the ENS DAO — in five bullet points.

I am working to build passive income through internet-based businesses to sustainably support my ability to continue to work on whatever I want. I am approaching a stage of life when I understand it can become harder to continue prioritizing working on what I want versus trading some of my autonomy for a job which will more dependably earn significant income. This “stage” that I speak of involves buying a house with a mortgage, having kids, and starting to build a family, all of which tend to...

December's first round of fixtures has come and gone, and they produced plenty of drama as expected. We got the highest scoring game of the season so far, a surprise victory by a relegation team, and the second highest scoring game of the season in a Midlands derby. And it's still only round one. Premier League action resumes tomorrow, but before then, here are the winners and losers from this round of games.Losers: Manchester UnitedEvery time Manchester United have a chance to climb up the t...

Picking a hardware wallet feels like defusing a bomb sometimes. One wrong move and everything’s gone.

I wrote previously about the threat of a Trump dictatorship. That was in 2020 which seems like a long time ago. After I wrote that post we got close to disaster when Trump attempted in various ways to stay in power despite the election results. We are now in the second Trump term and the situation is considerably worse. Back then I wrote that “... I deem it unlikely that Trump has a masterplan for becoming a dictator. Then again he probably didn’t have a masterplan for becoming president but ...

I'm turning my Zora Creator Coin into a Personal Index Token. Buy $MACEDO once, get exposure to everything I build: my companies, side projects, and content.

December is beautiful on the outside: lights, gatherings, music, but for many people living with cancer or supporting someone who is, this month carries a different emotional weight.

In poker, the big blind is a mandatory bet you have to make if you are two seats to the left of the dealer. In the world of geothermal energy, the big blind is finding a huge source of heat underground where there are no obvious clues on the land surface above. Our portfolio company Zanskar has been using advanced AI models to prospect for geothermal sites. As this article in MIT Technology Review explains:The first step to identifying a new site is to use regional AI models to search large a...

ZM happy floral Friday. The ZAO world feels bright today — that quiet kind of momentum where everything is moving, but nothing feels rushed. Maybe it’s the way the ecosystem’s coming together, or maybe it’s just the reminder that even builders deserve a breath. Either way, it’s one of those mornings where you can feel the creative current before you even log on. Today’s lesson hit right where it needed to: schedule time for your inner work. Not as a luxury. Not as a “when things slow down.”

Hackathon applications, a call for volunteers, and Ethereum Culture Day.

We want the Rainbow community to win together. Rainbow Foundation will be the single biggest shareholder of Rainbow at TGE – holding 20% of the company's equity, so token holders and share holders can share the same upside. That equity is held on behalf of every single $RNBW token holder.

Some events don’t announce themselves with noise. They begin as a quiet opening—a desire to test a system, a community, yourself. That’s how the first volume of the Infernal Chess Masters emerged at P2E Inferno. Not as a grand production, but as a deliberate experiment in discipline, structure, and the simple beauty of tactics displayed across a board. I’ve always believed that the board reveals the truth in people. It sharpens intention. It exposes passive play. It rewards calculation. Watch...
