Dan Sinker/notes

Most of the time my thoughts aren't long enough for a blog post. My shortform notes get posted on Mastodon and Bluesky, and also wind up here.

RIP David Lynch. King of the weirdos.

I've worked with dinks like this before that put enormous numbers on a slide deck and the bosses nod enthusiastically and reset everything to meet a made up goal that will never be achieved. (from www.nytimes.com/2025/01/1... )

Here we are, once again, welcoming you to Insomnia Club. It's the worst club, but we're in it together.

So like the tiktok ban just seems like a collosally stupid idea, poorly executed, and benefitting basically no one. Absolute A+ job all around.

For the last year I've been helping the Chicago Reader try and revitalize their web presence and strategy. It's been slow going and we were so close to some really cool things and yesterday the bottom fell out. chicagoreader.com/reader/pr...

Rather unexpectedly I've got a slightly freed-up work schedule and absolutely would love to work with good folks who have problems to solve. Drop a line!

Last night I wrote about Los Angeles and Chicago and ritual and rebuilding. It's a little love letter and a reminder that there is hope even after the darkest sunsets. dansinker.com/posts/202...

Well well welcome to Insomnia Club. I don't want to be here and neither do you. And yet here we are.

The first time I went to LA I thought I'd hate it. Instead, I fell in love. In this week of devastating fires, I wrote about that beautiful city, its sunsets, its people, and its dreams. Read "Standing on the line" on my site: dansinker.com/posts/202...

Why in the world did I decide—when my life was fine and not really in need of anything—to support the Arsenal football club.

Sometimes I lie awake and think about these headlines and sometimes I just lie awake.

Well here we are awake once again. Welcome back... to Insomnia Club.

More than anything it would be nice, for once, to be given the time to properly grieve.

Just gonna say that we never should have shoveled VC cash at kids that never lived in the world for even a minute.
