The whole world will watch this
The only other person who’s ever made me this excited about a product unveil was Steve Jobs. Watching him introduce the first iPhone is a huge part of why I fell in love with technology.
Elon brings that feeling back for me, but honestly, I think he takes it to a whole different level. Tomorrow, he and the Tesla team are unveiling the next-gen Roadster, and I seriously cannot wait.
The Roadster they showed in 2017 already promised 0–60 mph in 1.9 seconds. Since then, Elon has talked about a Tesla–SpaceX collaboration, having it fly, and getting that time below ONE second, and calling it “the least interesting part” of the car.
How do you say something like that and expect me NOT to be excited?!
But beyond how fast it goes, I want to see something that makes me sit there and say, “Wow… how in the world did they build that?” I honestly don’t know what they’re going to show us, and that’s part of what makes this so much fun. I really want to be surprised and see the unthinkable.
These days I feel many older people don’t get that excited about things… I only see that spark in kids. But imo, we should still get excited about people building cool things. We should still root for the nerds, engineers, and designers trying to do something that has never been done before.
And I hope there’s a kid watching tomorrow who feels what I felt watching Steve Jobs introduce the iPhone. Someone who sees this car and starts wondering how it works, sketching their own ideas, or thinking about what they could build someday.
I hope y’all are ready to have your minds blown.
I’m rooting for you, Elon, and the entire Tesla team behind this car.
Go give us a night we’ll never forget!

For those of us who beat ourselves up, this book is a godsend.
It is not nearly as woo-woo as it might seem. It was recommended to me by a neuroscience PhD who said it changed her life, then by another cynical friend who said the same.
It is one of the most useful books I’ve read. It’s easy to digest, and I suggest one short chapter before bed each night.

This line from Atomic Habits isn't ready to leave my head:
"It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment."

Concetta Antico, an Australian artist, is a peculiar case. She has tetrachromacy, a rare genetic condition in which a person’s eyes possess four types of colour-detecting cells, called cones, instead of the usual three. She is a painter, and I cannot help but wonder how difficult it must be to create paintings no one will ever truly see as she does. Every colour she chooses, every shade she lays upon the canvas, exists in a way that only she can fully perceive. The rest of us will always be looking at a translation, never the original. We will see what she painted, but never quite what she saw, nor what she hoped we would see. That must be a lonely way to make art.

Tesla is one of the smartest, cracked and most advanced engineering companies in the world.
If they actually did this, then it is likely verifiably true that a dollar above $200/week is waste.
