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.

Would this work for Weever fish? My father in law was stung while walking the beach last year in Portugal, and I've been looking for some sort of sea shoes to bring with us since

Portuguese here, I know people that wear Crocs for that reason.

I have been lucky and haven't been stung in 30yrs of going to the beach here. As far as I know it's a bigger danger when the water is warm, but this might be just a myth.
