Really enjoying Basecamp. It’s less of a ding-dong notification panic, and more of a plan-do-review meditation. Love that it puts everything on my calendar. ⛰

Had a bit too much fun at the 1989 party last night. We are riding the struggle bus pretty hard over here at Casa del Gowans. 🚌

Walkout commute observations

Interesting commute, with the walkouts today. Observations:

There’s a lot of Bridge & Tunnel Environmentalists.
Team, let’s put those phones away for three minutes whilst we navigate this sea of additional commuters together.
Air pods and a good playlist can overcome almost any commuting injustice.
