I'm working on Autotype [1], a text expansion tool with UX similar to VSCode's command palette.

I'm trying to do something musical every day, doesn't matter what it is. Two days down. So far I've just been sitting at the piano playing through lead sheets of songs I've written and some jazz standards.

I am pitching my friend who just had a wonderfully successful exit to invest in my hotel abroad. It’s a super country with a big tourism economy and inexpensive labor. I have a local friend who knows the business, fingers crossed.

I want to leave tech.

Building a treehouse for my kids. Turns out that (like most things) treehouse construction can be a very deep rabbit hole.

Very interesting! I would like to follow what you do through the year, maybe in one of those weeks you could work on an RSS feed for the page ;-)

I'll continue working on my open source crm iceburg.ca I just added an admin builder, image/video fields and a workflow feature. We'll see what the next year brings.

Curious about the name - in US English we spell it iceberg. Is it spelled differently in CA, or was it an intentional decision?

What country? How much do you anticipate needing to start it? Do you have experience in hospitality?

Working on making big geospatial data (from sources like NASA, ECMWF) really easy to work with through a simple API that integrates with common tools in python/R. Would love to help ppl focus on answering really interesting questions (e.g. impacts of climate change, energy load forecasting, food security), without needing to be experts in geospatial data engineering! https://www.pharossoftware.com/
