Hey Jim! I'm so glad you found my work, thanks for reading! I'm sure the Bay Area was a wild place back then. I saw that you mentioned my work on your blog, I really appreciate the shoutout. You should certainly think about doing some writing on Substack too. Keep in touch!
I'm Punit, from Mumbai, India. I write Hello Universe (https://hellouniverse.substack.com). There, I publish one fun, thought-provoking poem every Tuesday to 200+ subscribers. I'm already 66 weeks in, and super excited with this project for the creativity it lets me express. It's almost like a mini diary of my observations and experiences and feels personal yet universal at the same time.
What I'm iterating on - my career. I've been working for 7 years now, and been on a decent path of self-discovery and self-fulfillment. However in the past few months I've started paying more attention to the metrics I'm using to define the success of my career and thinking deeply about how to reorient my point of view. This has led me to think about what keeps up my happiness and motivation levels, and trying to optimize more for those factors. It's been a fun ride so far to work on this.
Your newsletter and your thoughts are a massive inspiration. Keep it up!
Your poems are really amazing, I highly suggest everyone subscribe to your Substack.
I hear what you're saying about success metrics. They are not easy to define. I'm always tinkering with the different things I track each month. Things like water intake, exercise, meditation, etc. The results aren't always what I'm expecting, and success from one aspect of your life can easily impact other areas that don't seem relatable.
I really appreciate you getting the ball rolling on the intro post!
Hi Chris,
My name is Jim Hamilton. I spent many years in the Bay Area, back in the seventies and eighties, evolving computer technology.
I'm now a 76 year old man, living in a small Tennessee town, maintaining a daily Joomla blog.
I happened upon your work through The Sample, and I liked your writing. Here's a couple links to my world:
