Moving to Portland!

And other news

Hi all,

I haven’t written you in a while so I thought I’d share the latest news in a quick note.

Michelle and I are in the final stages of packing for our move to Portland, Oregon. I’m looking forward to settling in to our new place. If you’re in Portland or plan to be visiting there, give me a shout.

The things you find when moving! A Blockbuster card, two of the earliest XPLANE brochures from the 90s, and a map of an obstacle course I drew in the 70s!

The visual frameworks project is really catching fire. People are asking for a physical card deck and an online course, and I aim to deliver on both. I’m continuously adding new cards to the library and a Kickstarter project for the physical cards will be coming soon. The image below is from the photo shoot for the Kickstarter project.

If you like you can subscribe for updates to the visual frameworks project.

Many of you have also bought the poster, which I really appreciate! If you want a poster you can get one here.

Since I’m going to be doing an online course, I had to do some homework to figure out how I was going to do that, and that led me to re-imagining and rebooting one of my favorite projects, the School of the Possible. I’ll be sharing more on this later in the year.

Here are a few things I’ve been reading lately:

How to induce a flow state.

Brain waves synchronize when people interact.

Three reasons to believe in free will.

Alternative parallel realities.

Three ways to buy happiness.

That’s it for now. In a couple of weeks we will be in Portland!

Until next time,
