Canada must become a global superpower

The silver lining to the US starting a trade war with Canada and regularly threatening annexation is that it has forced this country out of complacency. Indeed, I'm hard pressed to remember a time, at least in my lifetime, when patriotism and nationalism has united so much of Canada. According to a recent survey by Angus Reid, the percentage of Canadians expressing a "deep emotional attachment" to the country jumped from 49% in December 2024 to 59% in February 2025. And as further evidence of...

GM Farcaster: Crypto the Game

So yes, it's late here on the east coast on a Sunday and Prof is just getting this weekly recap out. Why so late you ask? Welp -- she's still in Crypto the Game. Adrienne happily exited the game days ago, while Prof is a special kind of crazy that you'll only find from people still in this game. And here's a recap of everything else we did last week!

New website for Parkview Mountain House

We just did a complete overhaul of the landing page for Parkview Mountain House. If you're a new reader, PMH is Globizen's "creative retreat" in Park City, Utah. We completed it and opened it up for reservations at the end of last year. If any of you have feedback on the new page, I'd love to hear it. It was a lot of fun rummaging through all of the photos that I have taken there over the years during development and construction. And as much as I love snowboarding, I really enjoy visiting du...

Fiction in the Age of the Phone

Why do we happily consume endless nonfiction on our phones but reach for physical books when we want fiction? I explore the fundamental tension between how we experience digital content and how fiction works in our minds.

Desert responsive car-free urbanism

This month's issue of Monocle magazine is a special edition focused on property. And that's because this month was also the annual MIPIM festival in Cannes, which is apparently the largest real estate boondoggle, I mean conference, in the world. One of the development projects that is featured in the special is Culdesac Tempe (which is located just east of Phoenix). This is a development that has received a lot of press over the years, including here on this blog, as it was developed as a car...

Remembering America's First Cloud President

"If Truman was the Nuclear President, Kennedy the Space President, and Eisenhower the Interstate President, Obama will be the Cloud President." -VGR Venkatesh Rao wrote a nice little piece in 2008 providing an overview of the presidential technological eras and arguing that Obama would be the first cloud president. The piece aged very well so I thought I'd share some of the key excerpts. “Obama has a few technological levers he can push, as he looks for ways to deal with his big problems: two...

Waymo and Lyft now have the same market share in San Francisco

In August 2023, when Waymo first launched its self-driving vehicles in San Francisco, the market shares of Uber and Lyft were 66% and 34%, respectively. By the end of last year, these market shares had dropped to 55% and 22%, respectively, with Waymo now on equal footing with Lyft. (These numbers specifically refer to rides that start and end within the boundaries of where Waymo operates and do not, for example, include rides to the airport.) So the result was low double-digit losses in marke...
