What are you working on? Any new ideas which you're thinking about?

I just quit my "day job" to work on a business I've built with some good friends! We make stingray-resistant booties -- ie, if you encounter stingrays in the shallows, these greatly reduce the chance you get stung (https://mydragonskin.com/). I'll be in charge of a couple marketing efforts, helping with Youtube, and other odd things that come up!

My day job required me to go into office frequently, and I'm really feeling the reduced social connection of being fully remote in a small company. Any suggestions how to deal with this? I'm planning to reconnect with old friends, surf a lot, go rock climbing, and maybe take dance / music / other classes. Would also love if anyone wants to work together in the same place (library, coffee shop, etc). I'm in Escondido California, but happy to drive ~30 min to meet folks.

Legend!!! My buddy just got stung the other week.

Check out Eventship. Hussein is local to SD. You should also meet Fred for press.

I’ll try and remember about these in the winter. I need new booties anyways. How many mm? 2 plus 2 so 4?

Oooh thanks, will check it out!

Ya exactly, 2 layers of 2mm each, for a total of 4mm. They’re less warm than most 4mm booties would be though, because they’re intended for the protection. If you’re in SoCal that’s a feature — your feet should stay warm but not overheat :)
