Felt incredibly special to listen to this episode of @monocle.com’s Urbanism podcast about Columbia, Maryland… while running around Columbia.

This is where my wife grew up and where my in-laws live.

First run for these next couple of weeks in the US. Overall, quite happy about the performance, especially given that this was a longer run than usual .

Nice to see some bike lines that I could use however, being in the suburbs is definitely not ideal at with regards to running paths.

But if our childhoods were that wonderful, why didn’t Generation X replicate our own experiences for our children? Why did so many millions of free-range kids grow up to become helicopter parents?

Oh FFS: Atlassian is acquiring The Browser Company for $610M. The deal is mostly above Dia, as expected, but it’s still quite surprising given the valuations in the AI space, these days…

Is this why we can’t have nice things?!

🎵 Whenever September comes, I get into a crisp Fall mood and one of my little rituals is to listen to Springsteen & Prince endlessly. Can’t explain it, it just brings me joy!

🏡 🇫🇷 Super excited to wake up to this article about our home and neighboring town in The Times today!

A man and a woman with a dog stand by a cobblestone path next to a river, surrounded by trees, with a bridge in the background.

Greater Paris is born, reconfiguring the city. (…) The east (…) [side] has risen, turning the banlieue from Pantin to Romainville into cool, desirable areas. (…) The action is no longer on the Seine River — it is on a 200-year-old canal, the Ourcq.
