Well that escalated quickly! (😮‍💨11 mos) Really proud to announce that @newthing_co has been acquired by @joinbenjamin. @TheCodeBender and I will join the team in product and engineering leadership roles to bring AR rewards to as many people as possible!

RT @SahilBloom: Everyone needs to remember this…

Vine coming back would be amazing.

RT @rus: 🌱 waitlist activated ↓

One of the things you’ve said that has continued to replay in my mind, Mackey, was your assessment of how to price work based on brand equity (Redbull example at @Epicurrence Park City). I’d bet more of those insights you (might) consider obvious are really fascinating, interesting and smart.

@kirillzubovsky @jenntoda Grass is always greener! Lol. I have several Zillow and Landwatch saves in your area, WY and ID 🤣

That’s probably a personal preference (I don’t like public gyms myself, small home gym/rack/ski erg/ incline tred ftw). But, I don’t do outdoors as a primary for fitness (it’s a tertiary for me, but a great benefit), I get a lot of calmness and accomplishment from it. Gym is more of a function to help performance IN those environments so I am sharp. But when it’s harder to get to the outdoors stuff, zaps my desire to stay on the fitness game at my peak. For Austin/tx in general - The thing is when you want to leave it’s a flight+rent everything or it’s 12+ hr minimum drive to “good” stuff bc I’m a snob about it. Google maps Austin to Moab, Silverton/Ouray/Fruita, Wasatch, Superstitions, Sierras, Tetons etc. It’s a mega time commitment if you want to bring your gear because the state is so freaking huge. I don’t love being negative about it, but it really grinds me sometimes.

@kirillzubovsky @jenntoda I’m focused on that rn. Wyoming or Idaho house pursuit + TX.

@kirillzubovsky I’d love to be able to bounce around, but like you said… kids 😛. I’m too committed to being the dad they need and keeping their life stable while stifling my nomadic tendencies.

@kirillzubovsky 1000% true. I wonder if it’s more true in Breck? Austin has some drive, it’s not Bay Area technology mindset though, not even close. I hated *living* in SF/BA, I loved *working* there.

@sdw It’s like Apple Park and NSA had a baby.

@kirillzubovsky Like escapism?

@dijazola @thisisashfaque To what?

@kirillzubovsky That makes more sense. Kids and patience is a different (brutal) game.

@BillSKenney What about tilted *photo* of the screen via camera?! That was early days

@alessio_joseph Copy under that dynamic duo was an “I’m sorry what 😦” moment for me. Also if mascots trend, I wonder if there is like a mascot Dunbar number. How many can I recall and assign to what brands.

@DanielleMorrill Medium woo

@sdw The Great Mental Models, Recursion, Hooked

@stephane @dcurtis It does. Even using the XDR and BetterDisplay it sucks.
