PSA: Living Spaces in Plugerville is a real POS. My son didn’t want to go into the “drop off only” playground after he found out I couldn’t go in. He came back out and cried a little. Then the 60 year old man called a supervisor on us! Good luck, idiots. You just lost a major sale.

So damn proud of my niece. She graduates from one of the top nursing colleges in the world today. I’m not crying, you are crying! Love you, Caryse. What starts here, changes the world! #Hookemhorns

Why is your deep tech pitch missing the mark? Why are people not opening your cold email pitch? I think I know why. www.linkedin.com/pulse/deep-t...

Why is your deep tech/energy/climate startup pitch so hard? Why is not landing? Why are investors not taking that second meeting? It's all about your UVP. www.linkedin.com/pulse/deep-t...

Lot's of folks ask me "what do you do for a living?" I can tell you I do Fundraising, Sales and AI strategy for deep tech startups, but it's better when one of my clients shares that. Read on and tell me what you think. visible.vc/case-studies...

Cherry trees in Kyoto. Not a subtle signal.

Backers of the massive data center campus say at full buildout it will consume 9GW of electricity, more than double the entire state of Utah’s current energy use. They say they intend to burn fossil fuels on site to make all that electricity. Box Elder County will vote on the proposal Monday.

President Trump signed an executive order this week to facilitate the use of hallucinogens to treat mental health conditions. That came days after he got a text from the podcaster Joe Rogan suggesting the move. Hear more on the latest health news with @julierovner.bsky.social🎧 ⤵️

I just saw the new THE MUMMY movie so you don’t have to. Yikes. A solid 50 out of a 100. It’s just your average possession horror movie dressed up with some Egyptian flair.

god gives his rattliest shopping carts to his most impatient soldiers

I’m now basically a master plumber.

This is so messed up. In my Apple favorite music you listen to. Lol. Came on right after a badass Czarface track…

My great friend and co-author Randal Moss came to teach my @universityoftexas.bsky.social class yesterday. What a treat! We talked energy, AI and Corp innovation.

Hungary election live: Viktor Orbán concedes defeat in Hungarian election after 16 years in power

Break from the outside world. Bought this for the boy, but parents are super enjoying.

This is some of the most important reporting to come out of the war on Iran so far. And it's nice to see CBS doing it, i.e good reminder that bad leadership doesn't mean that every journalist there instantly stops doing their job.

Great time speaking at UT Energy Week. It’s still going on and I encourage you to attend. #HookEm

Just added our first mystery snails to the #wildlife pond. Let’s see how they do in the Austin cold and heat.

Trying out all the EV chargers today. #EV Charging America was a beast but worked like a charm. A lil pricey.

Ok. Garden is planted for spring. Including my dementor beds since I live in a living hellscape that is Texas. #gardening #davidjfarms

The evidence of the overall failure of @openai and chatGPT continue to mount. Why did they have to hire the Open claw founder? Now this? www.perplexity.ai/page/figure-...

Huge day! My client Helix Earth just finished raising their $12MM Seed+ round. #energy #energytech www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...

Wild times we live in as fundraisers for startups. Screening was automated, deal memos automated, now coming soon….IC. Human in the Loop of course, for now…..Assistant to Allocator! finance.yahoo.com/news/norway-...

The #wildlifepond is looking good! Too much string algae but we are working on it. We need about 40% more plants. And check the #carnivorousplants living their best life!

It should not be 90 something in Austin right now. How are we going to trick people into moving here if the heat shows up this early?

Good morning from Round Top, TX

Is this a real gala or a @jcsalterego.bsky.social fever dream?

Right when we pulled up in Round Top, TX today “Oi! Oi! Finally a real car, not that American shit!” About our new UK beast. From the house two down. lol.

Old dogs, learning new EV tricks. The wife just got a HPEV so we are two house electric vehicle owners. #EV

Not gonna lie. My son’s classical music tastes are impressive! No under the sea for him, he likes the classical numbers. #AlanMenken

Had a great time at the Texas Futures summit yesterday for their investors series. Impressive! Good small room full of people who care about deep tech.

Every hospital in England has been urged to disobey an NHS directive to use software operated by controversial US analytics software company Palantir www.bmj.com/content/392/...

Anyone else keep the @playmobile out of Gen Pop?

Going very old school today.

This is an AMAZING book by Chris Fabricant that destroys one of my fav TV shows #forensicfiles where, apparently, so much of that was junk science. Bite Marks? Hair Matches with no DNA? Proven to not be real and have no scientific basis whatsoever. I was shook by this book and loved it.

Anyone playing w AI agents in Notion? If so what are you building? Let me know!

Well, this was surprising, but very cool to see. #EV #HYBRID finance.yahoo.com/news/consume...

Continuing to post what I read. This reflects my descent into owning a couple of carniverous plants, and trying to understand how different they are then normal plants. As you can imagine this is a scientific read, with peer reviewed papers, and some submissions from lay folks. A botanist dream! 💭

Great time with the Helix Earth crew at the @austinairport.bsky.social contractor and vendor event today. Our airport is building an entirely new airport inside the existing airport.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

As a plant person have I told you how much I love @gemini lately? It’s like a botany cheat code.
