You all want weird? I have your weird right here.
After hosting my first official meeting of our block association last night, I made you a video about how to take all of the hand-written notes and turn it into digital records with action items, summaries, and follow-ups in just 10 minutes.
Just one example of how AI is making the lives of community builders easier than ever before...

First agenda for our Manhattan 75 block association committee meeting, what did I miss?
Block associations about to make a major comeback…
community-building tip: listen carefully to each person's passions and gifts, then make thoughtful asks for them to share those gifts with the community.
its a great way to make them feel valued and like owners/leaders in the group

New post: The invisible impact of everyday community
The longer I work among online and offline communities, the more I think about communities as less like a dessert, and more like taking vitamins.
Community-building takes long-term, consistent impact to nudge things along. Focusing too much on short-term vanity metrics will not only discourage you from progress but also distract you from this end objective.
More on this, and some reflections on my own work as a relatively new block steward for my community on the Upper West Side in NYC.

New post: The Egg Test - Measuring Community Like We Measure Engineering Teams
It's common to measure the health of an engineering org by how long it takes to change a single line of code
Can we apply this in how we measure the health of a community?
Ent: The Egg Test 🥚👇
This weekend I needed an egg while cooking so texted my building messaging thread to see if anyone could offer me an egg.
This so-called "egg test" revealed how long it took for someone to step in and support me (and maybe a little bit more)

I was just appointed to the Citizen's Tax Oversight Committee in my local town
Local governments are basically just like DAOs! There’s public info and you can go online and get informed and participate!
Here's my interview for the role:

New post: Bootstrapping Neighborhoods on the Cabin Podcast
Loved hearing how others in the Neighborhood Accelerator built community! @savannah got a friend to move into her building, and Shani showed us how to inspire people to lead with just a light nudge. Tune into these stories and more here:

There’s no local politics channel so I’ll be live casting here the town meeting I’m it.
We’re taking about a feasibility study about an unused piece of land near the park by my house
First 10 min have been spent on introductions and discussion of why more ppl didn’t get notified about the meeting 😔

met a family this week: living in NYC, three kids, mostly talked about how hard it is to raise kids in the city and also how hard it is to leave the city (because jobs and friends). might move to europe
“cabin’s got you!” I wanted to shout, but we have so much work to do still
this is what drives me

Anyone get on perspectives on local coins? as in having a erc-20 for my town?
I don't know where to start looking or thinking about this. Is it an idea with any potential? Anyone working on it?
