I'm in the Algarve, Portugal, selling our house and getting ready to go back on the road. Van first, then the boat. We've been here five years and it's time to move again.
I'm building a few things:
MarkMesh just launched. Trademark search and monitoring across 30+ offices, built with Tobias. We're in beta with a handful of users and no revenue yet, but the data pipeline is solid and the first paying customers should come soon.
local.foundation is pivoting from a community platform into a think tank and research layer for community builders. Penelope is stepping in as the operator, which frees me to focus on the infrastructure.
ops_center and AgentForge are the substrate underneath everything. The infrastructure I built to host my own ventures, and the agent framework that learns from operating them. The goal is an observe, learn, improve loop that runs constantly.
I just shipped a notes stream and a /now page on this blog. The idea is to own the log, syndicate to Bluesky, and stop feeding content spam engines. This is the first entry.
I'm thinking a lot about how to arrange things so you gain from disorder rather than just survive it. The world is getting noisier. Small independent ventures, owned infrastructure, and community feel like the right response.
If you want to reach me, email is best. I read everything.
