3) Huge congrats to this world-class team, investors, board members, customers, and especially the founders Jeremy Allaire and Sean Neville...

2) The more I learned about Circle the more I liked. As I understood the immense scale and nature of the opportunity (and how it dovetails with my own background and skillset), my skepticism dissolved into a full-hearted "YES!"

Circle really is "An internet financial system for global prosperity."

1) Huge congrats to Circle, whose IPO this morning on the NYSE (trading under the ticker $CRCL) was epic in many dimensions.

To my own surprise, I joined the Board less than a year ago. As someone who is not "crypto native" it took a fair amount of research... and convincing.

We saw him open for Van Morrison at Frost. Sublime.

Also watch the Stax documentary on Netflix if you haven’t already.

At any instant, yes infuriating. But karma has a way of sorting it out.

5/ Even if you're not a fan of Eno's per se, the movie is not only about him... but about the creative process itself. Recommended!

4/ This movie will likely mark the end of our foray into the movie business, but what a joy it has been to watch Gary birth this work into the world. Unlike most works of art and certainly most movies, the film has a life of its own and will continue to evolve.

3/ We had the good fortune to see the movie at its opening at Sundance, and again at the London premiere at the Barbican (where we were joined by Peter Gabriel, members of the Cure and New Order, Lush, Sonic Youth, the Clash, etc.) and many of our dear friends.

2/ @ireneau.bsky.social got involved as executive producers when our friend @chaddickerson.bsky.social introduced us to Gary Hustwit. We were already big fans of Gary's work, so it was an easy yes. We shared the opportunity with other friends, like Tony Fadell, Ian Rogers, and Stewart Butterfield.

Stream the Eno documentary worldwide — Oh You Pretty Things A global streaming event showing multiple unique versions of "Eno", the groundbreaking generative documentary about musician and artist Brian Eno. A film about creativity that's never the same twice.

1/ One of the great joys of 2024 has been watching the launch of Eno, the documentary on legendary music producer and artist Brian Eno.

Next month, for the first time, you'll be able to stream this work of art into your own home.

What’s next? We are shopping…

I used my “personal” decades-old domain. Figured it’s a verification of sorts.

‘Yacht Rock’: HBO Doc Shows How Bands Like Steely Dan, Christopher Cross and Toto Became Cool All Over Again The HBO doc 'Yacht Rock' takes a fond, ironic look at how 1970s bands like Steely Dan, Toto and Christopher Cross found a new generation of fans.

The HBO Yacht Rock Documentary is so much fun to watch and so well done. H/T to @chrisfralic.bsky.social !

Amazing tree on Stanford. Maybe no more amazing than several hundred other I saw today, but @ireneau.bsky.social took a picture of this one!

Joshua Tree is an effective detox for just about anything.

Bounced here from a wonderful trip to NYC (and London, Berlin and Zurich before that.)

Appreciate this place.
