Molly Guard
Old-school computing has a term “molly guard”: it’s the little plastic safety cover you have to move out of the way before you press some button of significance.

The Thinking Game
The other day, Tim and I watched this documentary. (It’s free on Youtube) We were enthralled by the inside story of the AI breakthrough that won a Nobel Prize.
Erwin Wurm
Erwin Wurm’s absurd art makes my heart sing.
Painted Rocks
These painted rocks by Elizabeth Salocka delight me to no end.
Strong Communities and People Acting With Joy
“Authoritarians cannot rise if there are strong communities and people are acting with joy. That is, you need despair and anger in order for an authoritarian to rise. Whatever those things are that you bring to the community, do them and do them with joy, and don’t stop doing the things you love because you’re scared, because that actually is a form of resistance.”
– Heather Cox Richardson
This is one of the many reasons why I am running CreativeMornings and we started a Clubs program in addition to the chapter events. The future is not lonely, it’s hyperlocal!
Card Bar
Loving Ugmonk’s analog Card Bar. He explains how he uses it in this Instagram Post.
Grace Farms
Grace Farms in New Canaan Connecticut is a truly inspiring space, both aesthetically as well in their mission. Would love to bring CreativeMornings to this venue. More billionaires like this, please.
WikiFlix
Imagine if The Criterion Channel and Netflix had a baby, but the baby only streamed public-domain classics — and it was completely FREE. That’s WikiFlix.
It’s a clean, modern interface where you can scroll, search, and dive into a whole catalog of classic films, restored gems, silent-era legends, and old-school cinema history… all legally available because they’re in the public domain. No subscription, no account, no ads. Just movies.

The Story of Maggie Doyne
My dear friend Maggie Doyne is an embodiment of love and without a doubt the most remarkable woman I know. I love her deeply. She just made her documentary, Between the Mountain and the Sky, available for anyone to see. (Her CreativeMornings talk cracked my heart wide open.)

The First Non Generative AI Model (very analog)
Prompt-Brush 1.0 is a project by graphic designer Pablo Delcan that satirizes and challenges the growing field of AI-generated art. In a project he dubbed “the first non-AI generative art model,” Delcan invited the public to submit text prompts, which he then manually illustrated by hand using a brush and black ink. You can buy the result as a book.

Be My Eyes
The level of excitement I feel when I get a call from Be My Eyes and can help a blind person with whatever they need help with, is indescribable. This is the version of the internet I want to revel in.
Be My Eyes connects the blind with seeing humans. I have helped folks with making sure their mustache was trimmed perfectly straight, what color tie to pick, or. where to push a button on an oven. You get the idea.
