Cowabunga Weekend is June 6th and the party starts at 8:00am!
You’re probably wondering what Cowabunga Weekend is. Well the short answer is: I made it up.
Cowabunga weekend (the first weekend in June) is a celebration of the 90s. You know, back when there were no smartphones, algorithms, AI, or high speed internet competing for our attention.

Rule 5: Done > Perfect (don’t let perfect stop progress)
There are two types of people in the world, the “don’t release anything until it’s flawless” people, and the “minimum viable product” people. I don’t agree with either of of ’em.

Rule 4: Keep Space Sacred (the mind doesn’t stop at the skull)

I’m going to be honest with you regarding this rule: I stole it from Tom Sachs’ 10 bullets. That being said, I like to think the spirit behind my rule is far removed from his.
