Going solo again next year. Back to the brand identity and product advising work I did for 15 years with early-stage tech. Feels like the obvious choice as the market gets wants capable people with range working independently. Finally collecting a portfolio and gawwwd.

New York Times review of my new book BLANK SPACE, with an emphasis on the right-wing counter-counterculture aspect nytimes.com/2025/11/21/books…

Today marks 1 year since @EnriqueAllen's passing. I still miss him terribly. His energy, his infectious smile, his ability to look at a problem 20 different ways. He was simply a wonderful friend, business partner, teacher, learner, and so much more. I still struggle to put our relationship into a simple bucket as it had so many different aspects. I also continue to grieve in moments big and small: a founder we took a chance on succeeding, the moments after successful work event, or frankly every time i look at the ocean. So many moments remind me of him. We lost an incredible human and while the passage of time helps, there will be a lifetime of healing required. The last year has made that clear. And, in the wake of it all, I know deep down he's also beaming with pride and love at how we've carried on the work, how his friends and colleagues have rallied to support his family, and how many folks remember him with so much joy in their hearts. Working with someone can be such a tremendous opportunity to connect with great people in meaningful ways and I'm grateful I got to do that with him. ---- This morning I went to visit a bench we dedicated for him at the San Francisco Botanical Gardens. If you knew him and want to have a moment to reflect, it's in a perfect spot a bit south west of the main fountain. On the bench is a plaque that reads - Enrique Allen The seeds you planted will grow us gardens I can tell you the seeds are already sprouting...

Your legacy will live on in our work, in the companies we helped build, the designers and leaders we helped develop, and now in a new generation of students who will build on your story. Hope you’re looking down and smiling on us E…

For some reason, it looks like the ebook edition of Things Become Other Things is $1.99 today. (Hardcover is also $17, which is the cheapest I've seen it; I still get the same royalties, so you know, please, buy away 😂) amzn.to/4ntXoYW

Walking 200km of the Kiso-ji (back and forth) starting on Thursday; running a new pop-up newsletter; more deets and signup links here: craigmod.com/ridgeline/216/

I'm an avid reader of @craigmod. He's an inspiration for this solo trip on my 3rd visit to Japan. He's heading out again to walk 100 kilometers south-north along the Kiso-ji in Nagano, and then turning around and walking 100 kilometers back, north-south along the same route.
