My brain starts to break after page ten of “lightning deals.”  I’d much rather be outside—phone-free and unplugged—than…

AI doesn’t float in the cloud. It runs on concrete, steel, and electricity in massive physical infrastructure. It is powered by local electricity grids and located in cities across the country. Residents who live and work nearby have a direct stake in how and where that infrastructure is built. That makes community consent the deciding factor in the AI race. Technology alone won’t determine the outcome—trust will. Companies that scale fastest will treat sustainable engineering and trust-building as a core business strategy.   The AI race won’t be won in the cloud. It will be won at the fence line.…

Published March 25, 2026 03:34AMThis year, I had my heart set on obtaining a coveted permit to hike Wyoming’s Teton Crest Trail alongside my sister. For months, we had planned to share the gorgeous mountain sanctuary together. And then, I forgot to apply for a permit in time. The day after the permit went live, I ran to my computer in a panic. Every spot for 2026 had been snapped up the day before. Every spring, I set out to win the lottery or be first in line to nab the elusive permits required for the country’s most epic backcountry adventures.…

Having rejection sensitive dysphoria, or RSD, is physically painful, all-consuming, and disproportionate to the event that triggered it.While a neurotypical person is able to recognize rejection, rationalize it, feel bad about it, and then move on with their day fairly quickly, RSD feels like a bull has charged at you and headbutted you in the chest, and it comes with a tremendous amount of shame.RSD is defined by the Cleveland Clinic as “severe emotional pain because of a failure or feeling rejected,” and is a symptom of the emotional dysregulation often seen due to the extra criticisms a person with…

The sustainable packaging that requires scissors, sweat, and a YouTube tutorial. The electric vehicle charging app with six steps when a gas pump has one.We’ve…

Most people use AI like a search engine: type a question, get an answer. It’s an easy, well-understood use case for tools like Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT. But for solopreneurs, the real value is in setting up dedicated projects with a lot of background information about your business. Most AI tools let you create project workspaces where you can add context about who you are and what you do. You can attach relevant files, and keep the conversation focused on one specific idea or area of your business.  I have 23 AI projects in Claude for everything from strategic planning to building…
