My least favorite thing to do is to buy new shoes, especially the ones that I’ve been wearing for over five years and have had five pairs of them. They don’t make these onitsuka ultimate 81s anymore. Looked everywhere and I’m sad. Need to find a replacement that is as slick as these.

How foolish of me to almost forget that today is Monday. Stoked for another segment of what grinds my gears with @jack mallers 

Today, while working on the @NOICE website, I had a realization: traditional email subscription services like Mailchimp are probably on borrowed time. I just implemented a fully functional subscriber system directly on my site. You can subscribe at the bottom of the page, it routes through Proton Mail, and everything lands in my own admin dashboard. From there, I can manage subscribers, organize them however I want, and keep everything self-hosted. Next step is building an internal tool to write and send emails directly from the dashboard. No third-party platforms. No monthly fees. Full control. What’s wild is that this would’ve felt impossible not that long ago. Now, with clear ideas, a real personal use case, and the help of AI, you can build exactly what you need yourself. Managing your own website. Managing your own audience. For basically free. Hard to find excuses anymore. Few things left to do but poke around. Needing feedback still. What do you want to see? View on desktop and mobile

I had a realization recently about what AI and modern tools are actually doing especially for creatives and artists. What I’m starting to see is that AI is giving us permission to be creative again. Not by replacing creativity, but by removing the technical barriers that used to block it. You no longer need to know how to code a website, master complex software, or understand every technical layer just to build something that supports your work. Now, you can describe an idea in plain language and let the tools translate that into something real. Words have become the interface. That feels incredibly liberating. What makes this even more interesting to me is the historical parallel. Socrates famously never wrote anything down. His ideas were spoken aloud - explored through dialogue - and only later recorded by his students, most notably Plato. The thinking came first. The structure followed. In a strange way, I think AI brings us back to that mode. Speaking ideas. Letting intuition lead. Capturing thought without immediately forcing it into rigid form. That’s essentially what I’m doing now, which is speaking freely, stream-of-consciousness, letting the ideas move naturally. I’m not diminishing writing at all. Writing is essential. But there’s something powerful about being able to think out loud again, without friction, and have those thoughts turned into something usable. I mention all of this because I’ve been rebuilding the website for my photography publication - something I’ve wanted to do for at least five years. I had the ideas back then, but not the technical knowledge, and definitely not the budget. Years ago, I reached out to a development team. They liked the concept, which meant a lot, but the quote came back at $26,000. The project at the time stalled. Today, with better tools and clearer ideas, I’ve built the same thing myself for under $500. Same vision. Same intention. Different tools. The cost of creation is approaching zero, while the potential for expression keeps expanding. If you’re a creative person, this moment is worth paying attention to. The barrier isn’t skill anymore - it’s imagination. What a time to be alive.
