Val Town 2023-2025 Retrospective
It's the end of 2025, which means that I'm closing in on three years at Val Town. I haven't written much about the company or what it's really been like. The real story of companies is usually told well after years after the dust has settled. Founders usually tell a heroic story of success while they're building.
Reading startup news really warps your perspective, especially when you're building a startup yourself. Everyone else is getting fabulously rich! It makes me less eager to write about anything.
But I'm incurably honest and like working with people who are too. Steve, the first founder...

Hello! Only a day late this time. October was another busy month but it didn't yield much content. I ran a second half-marathon, this time with much less training, but only finished a few minutes slower than I did earlier this year. Next year I'm thinking about training at a normal mileage for the kinds of races I'm running - 25 miles or so per week instead of this year's roughly 15.
And speaking of running, I just wrote up this opinion I have about how fewer people should run marathons.

The Intentional Collapse
The elite are committed to the end of the world, but we don’t have to be.
I figure it’s time we take account of what’s going on here. Everyone has different words for it. Last spring I called it the fascist atmosphere, and described it as an almost digital sensibility of yes/no’s and binary notches that don’t allow for all the in-betweenness where life really takes place. Our civilization recognizes the ticks of the clock, but not the duration between those ticks — the actual time where there the experience happens.
But I think it’s important I explain what I see as the motivations driving...

Aberfeldy Stories: A People’s Art School on the Street
https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=xtbTyJufxxM
“Come in and chat” – that simple sign on our studio door in Aberfeldy Street has sparked something extraordinary. Over six transformative months, curiosity turned into creativity, conversations became performances, and neighbours became storytellers.
200 People. 5 Films. 20 Podcasts. One Anthem and a Computer GameBetween March and September 2025, Aberfeldy Stories showed what happens when you give people the space, skills, and support to share their narratives. The results? Over 200 residents stepped through our doors and left with:
5 short films that capture the heart of our neighbourhood 20 podcasts brimming with local voices and perspectives Stand-up comedy routines that turned personal...Recently
Some meta-commentary on reading: I've been trying to read through my enormous queue of articles saved on Instapaper. In general I love reading stuff from the internet but refuse to do it with a computer or a phone: I don't want all my stuff to glow!
So, this led me to an abortive trial of the Boox Go 7, an eReader that runs a full Android operating system. Rendering Android interfaces with e-ink was pretty bad, and even though it was possible to run the Instapaper Android app, highlighting text didn't work and the whole fit & finish was off. I...
