“Please think of me like an endangered species and just observe me quietly from far away,” he said. “If you try to talk to me or touch me casually, I may get intimidated and bite you. So please be careful.” —
I would love to sit down next to @haruki_murakami and read books quietly

“After finishing my last semester of university (carefully planned to be a study abroad), I holed myself up in a one-room apartment in Bangkok, a city chosen mostly because it was easy to be isolated in. And I read. Like an invalid stuck in a hospital bed watches television, so I read—from the moment I awoke, clutching my book as I fell asleep on a thin mat, surrounded by the sounds of heat, and dishes being washed on a balcony.” —
Psyched one of my favorite curmudgeons is penning his hacker-videographer-traveler insights on @Medium. Go Alaric!
You’re Never Going to Write that Novel
Alaric, my co-founder for Imagist, has recently taken to Medium. It’s the first platform that’s gotten him to write again as he’s more inclined towards long form. I’m super happy to see it. As someone who works in technology, we feed off creativity from all parts of our lives, and the best products come from our inspirations that oftentimes flash in the horizon far from our comfort zone.
Without us knowing it - while Alaric was hacking it as a writer in Bangkok, I was a few hundred miles away, trying to hack it as a writer in Hanoi. Both of us came to technology haphazardly - both found inspiration in the writer-heroes of our youth and aspired to be storytellers - and both of us continue to chase that dream, to be narrative weavers, in our current work of commits and pixels.
I’m excited to be working on Imagist with Alaric. We started as friends interested in traveling and foraging and biking. I’ve found that our differences have complemented our work, but more important, our similar motivations and passions have made getting up and working an everyday joy.

Is Google Maps Changing Our Behavior? - Eric Jaffe - The Atlantic Cities
Huge personal concern of mine. There’s something super human about a sense of direction, not that mine’s great. I just don’t want it to get worse!

A good metaphor, if you can remember that being a tourist isn’t always bad
