Nostalgia is a very complicated subject for me. I’m attracted by nostalgia but I refuse it intellectually.

some backstory about the 3 of us [Objet’s founders]. or how 18 moves across 4 continents in the past 15 years made us more intentional with the objects we carry in our lives.

If we want to revitalize our neighborhood communities, we should ask: which factors explain why so many have declined in the face of technological change? I see four: changes in the physical landscape, decline in local institutions, individualization of religion, and shifts in our education and aspirations. Where these four factors have changed the least, community remains the strongest.

This little encounter between three disparate people, who would never meet otherwise, explains the uniqueness of the Bay Area.

The serendipity is what makes my now hometown so special. In San Francisco, technologies, new ideas, and people collide randomly in the oddest of places, at the oddest of times.

I don’t know all the ways to get our good intentions unblocked. That’s why, whenever I spot someone changing the world via a righteous road less taken, I write it down on a little list. I glance at that list from time to time as a way of expanding my imagination, and now I’m sharing it in the hopes that it’ll do the same for you.
