I have a new hero.
"I see that you have made 3 spelling mistakes." Last words of Marquis de Favras after reading his death sentence before being hanged (1790).
My class about writing about birds is always a hill of fun, and there are two spaces left in the one I’m about to teach (starts 4/24). If you’re interested, learn more at chipblake.com/classes, or email me at [email protected].
Very sad to learn of the death of my friend Steve Silberman. He was one of the brightest people I've known, and one of the kindest too.

A vision without a task is but a dream A task without a vision is drudgery A vision with a task is the joy of the world -- Teddy Macker
So it took The Athletic, what? 5 years to go through the tech cycle. 1. Claim you are changing the game 2. Invest an unsustainable amount of capital 3. Sell 4. Begin layoffs and change mission to be exactly the same as the orgs you originally claimed weren’t doing things right
"To understand the parable of the Fall, the first thing is to know that it didn't happen once upon a time; it happens every time we look at the world merely as a bundle of resources, rather than a living source of wonder and inspiration." -- from Kevin Van Tighem, Dawn Songs
The Unibomber was a subscriber to Orion. We wondered whether we should build a marketing campaign around that. But we didn't.
