BLD PWR (think: build power) Day 2025 was a hectic one.

I started this site to hold some of the essays John Palfrey posts on Facebook, where they are out of reach of the tools of the open web. John is a longtime friend, for over 20 years, and we did some great stuff together in the early days of the blogosphere.

If we want to solve the problems of the world, we have to step out into the open space where what we write is not so local or controlled.

It wasn't cheap and as we know it was futuristic.
