A Wrong Step
I stepped on a huge pile of shit while walking with the CEO of Gumroad and the cofounder of Indiehackers today.

Unfortunate Winter Storm
Can’t do my long run this week because of the winter storm, unfortunately. At least I can let my feet recover though.

What makes a movie scene great?
Commentaries on great movie scenes make it seem like the reasons why these scenes are great depend on the foreshadowings, references, intentionality, cleverness, etc. I feel like most viewers of these commentaries automatically think that the more hidden details there are behind the first initial watch, the better. That's kinda what we're taught in school too, with the deep analysis we'd make in English classes. This has been my unconscious mindset too. Now I'm curious about what variables actually make a movie scene actually great.

ND Football in NYC
ND played against Army yesterday. Dom, EG, Marcus, Bobby, Chase, Trey, and Vic all visited. Quite the fun weekend. On Thursday, Dom, Bobby, Marcus and I met up at Harlem and then picked up dinner at the Bronx. Ate at Dom's place and watched a little bit of Bad Boys. Then, we picked up EG from the airport. On Friday, I went to the ND NYC networking event at a pub in midtown. Was there all alone until Drew Braaten and Carlo arrived. Had nice talks with them and other random ND alums. This one lady wanted to start her own startup focused on AI accounting. Will follow up with her. Then we went to a bar called Flying Cock. They had a really nice burger and truffle aioli. I love truffle. After that, we went to Penn Station, and we did some push ups with these performers. Dom took a video. We left for the trains really wanting to wash our hands. We made our way to Cellar Dog, a jazz club near NYU. They had ping pong, chess, pool, and shuffleboard. The jazz was a great vibe. Never been to a bar like that before. Then we went to the donut shop. Got myself the tiramisu donut. It was fucking amazing. Went back up to Columbus Circle before heading back home. On Saturday, I had breakfast with a product designer in Chinatown at a restaurant called Cha Kee. Got the pineapple bun with ham and eggs. Then I went back home to rest before meeting up with the boys at the Yankee stadium. Thankful for EG and Dom for helping me get a really good ticket for cheap. Had an enjoyable time.

Stayed Home Today
Last time I went into the city was last Friday. I really wanted to go down today, but I stayed home to save time. Will be meeting with Dom tomorrow though, so that should be fun. Going to Harlem.

Notable Update #1
Added tabs, mobile menu, new edit flow, animations, and gestures. Sensing some crowdedness among the tab, add post, and feed upon landing right now. Will experiment styles later.

Rewatched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Just finished rewatching the movie. I watched it like 7 years ago and it surprised me with how emotional it was. Made me tear up. This time around, I didn’t really watch it in one go, so the effects were different. Watched it in 3 sessions over 2 weeks. How I felt that day definitely affected what I felt while watching. Stopped watching the first session because it got too sad. Watched a lot of it yesterday and finished today. Forgot about how it ended, so it was a surprise again. Sad, introspective stuff.

No Chocolate
I really want chocolate right now, but there isn't any chocolate around. And I don't want to go out to the store to get chocolate because I'm too lazy and it also costs money.

Walker Hotel Tribeca
Went to Walker Hotel Tribeca again to watch Yesung play with a vocalist. When I came in, they were playing Misty. My favorite. Got to talk to them during their break. Got recommended a few jazz locations. I also got a caffe mocha. Was pretty good, but I think I prefer either just a cappuccino or a hot chocolate.

Aroma Cafe
Went to Aroma Cafe. Good looking pastries. The coffee is good. I don’t have a strong sense of taste for good coffee beans yet, but the cappuccino is well made. Doesn’t taste burnt like in Starbucks and Blue Bottle. Nice seating space + they got more seating downstairs with a bathroom. Just doing work here now. I found the Central Park Hotel. Pretty nice seating there too.
