Twitter’s Blue Bird of Happiness
The 63" tall illuminated logo from their NY Headquarters just arrived. I am saving it for posterity. It was the public face of the company before the 2023 rebrand as X.

🚴 Weekend Tracks
I’m loving this ridge line for my return to mountain biking, and Lyndon has me sold on an e-bike now. Climbing 2K ft at altitude was a breeze. A cool detail about Sand Harbor and the Lake Tahoe beaches. The sand comes from ice age glacier grinding down the valley, not the typical wave action… Read More

⚫ Can you dig it?
Yes, yes, you can solve soul-deadening traffic by going 3D. Today’s news: Boring raised a massively oversubscribed $3B at a $23B valuation with Sequoia and Andreessen Horowitz, and closed a new 150km overseas project. And, my 2018 reflection on how it all started… the four largest TBM incumbents were founded in the 1800’s.
