121 empty oil tankers are headed to the US. Oil just crossed $102. Ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has stopped. The Gulf of America is open for business — and the only country positioned to fill the gap is us.

Day one with the Meta Ray-Ban glasses. First stop: the pet store. This is the honest account of a technologist learning new hardware in public — one errand at a time.

I’ve been thinking about last night pretty much since I woke up. It was one of those events where nothing felt overly flashy, but a couple things stuck in a way that doesn’t really let go. Not because they were perfectly explained, but because they pointed at something real. There were two talks. Very different angles, but together they kind of formed a bigger picture that I don’t think either one was explicitly trying to make. The first talk: work is getting compressed had t

Jimmy from Data Power Supply and I got there early. We ended up walking the space a bit, checking everything out—it’s a really cool setup. Clean, modern, lots of room to move around. Definitely the kind of place you want to host something like this. Took a few photos, jumped on a couple calls, just normal work stuff while things were getting going. Then the event kicked off. The Room Fills In... As people started coming in, you could feel it pretty quickly—this was a good cro

Some trips are planned down to the minute. Others unfold the way the best stories do — one conversation at a time. This Nashville trip was definitely the second kind. A few meetings on the calendar, camera in the bag, and the rest left up to the simple act of showing up . And as it turns out, that’s usually enough. Nashville Is Real People One thing that stands out about Tennessee pretty quickly: The people feel real. Not overly polished. Not putting on a show. Just people bu

Some assignments feel like work. Others feel like a mission. For the past several years I’ve had the privilege of photographing the annual fundraiser for the The 917 Society , an organization dedicated to putting pocket copies of the United States Constitution into the hands of eighth-grade students across America. It’s one of those ideas that sounds simple until you realize how powerful it really is: if young Americans actually read the Constitution—not a summary, not someon

I almost didn’t go. Miami traffic and I have a complicated relationship. It usually wins. Jimmy (founder of Data Power Supply ) invited me down, thinking the room might be a good place to show off some of what we’re building with VaporVault. I showed up mostly curious… and ended up fully digging it. Two weeks ago, Praveen Yalmanchi  toured a data center project we’re working on (with his friend Art), and tonight was more of the same energy — thoughtful, welcoming, zero ego, r
