Why shared standards are important -

Have been doing some home reno lately and the amount of tools and standards are astounding. You need a specific wrench for a specific job...

It's only worse in Web3 because everyone thinks they can just come up with whatever standards that fit their immediate use cases (or building moats wink wink). The amount of work that requires to build something custom is like 1000x harder than it is to use something that is open source and shared standard.

In my case, I need to search all over amazon and hardware stores to find the right tools... In Web3 developers cases, they need to stackoverflow and spend tons of time reading docs and finding specs...

We need to strive for less standards, less repeated work. Not the other way around...
Screw it. This ain’t over.

In Girona scouting out the course for this Saturday’s race - aka. the last chance to qualify for this year’s Gravel World Championships.

Plus made some new friends 🐐🐐🐐
Having a hard time writing an update:

Hopped over to Switzerland for UCI Alpine Gravel challenge with the hope to qualify for the world championships this October.

Was going well at the very start and hanging with some people way above my level, but an accidental slide out sent my butt to the deck, and my day to a different direction.

Gritted my teeth and caught up all day.

Came up short, P26/70 and only top 19 qualified.

Given my travel + work schedule, showing up on the start line with a descent enough shape would’ve been a win.

There is another qualification event in two weeks in Girona - my mind and my body both say “take a chill pill my buddy”.

Also have to thank my amazing girlfriend Vivian who ran up and down the mountain all day to give me support.
Only possible in a few places on earth…

Where am I going?
Been quiet and putting in some work.

Getting ready for my 1st (and hopefully not the only) race of the year this coming Sunday.

Enjoy sessions like this where I could execute the training to the T and hitting all my marks.
People forgot that Sony probably owns more entertainment IPs than the rest of the world combined: music, games, movies and more…

Imagine all that. Onchain.
Just had a live demo session with @biji on the new version of Herocast.

The product has matured so much over the past 2 months - truly incredible to see and use.

The killer features: search + analytics

As a social media manager, you have no idea how much these features mean to me.
This is how apps built on the Superchain is supporting the creator economy.

Many more cases like @afrochicks to come!
MIA these few weeks to let the mind and body relax a bit before a HUGE fall and winter.
Standing in the security line at JFK is the best time to catch up telegram chats from 1 week of OOO.

Ready to continue shipping for H2 🔥
It’s been quite a few days of pursuing a higher self at @fwb fest in the Idyllwild mountains.
Finally made it up the Black Mountain in the Idyllwild mountains.

@vm and @steph know what I’m yapping about. 😎
Rolling into /basecamp001 like a storm.

@optimism team is here with @earemu @binji.eth @urv and moar 🌫️
Aimed higher in the Bay Area for @optimism marketing offsite.

Had a chance to get out on the bike to see the Bay Area.

Getting /higher in the redwoods.
Wrapped up last few rides in Paris. Au revoir until the Olympics is over!

Receipts are going to look very different for the next 4 weeks with travels in SF (@optimism marketing team offsite), LA (@fwb fest and /basecamp) and then in NYC (and probably Vermont).
Couldn’t go higher today, so just went faster
