i currently have google fi, which is a mvno. if you have the unlimited premium plan, it automatically switches over the data to whatever network is available in 200+ countries.

however, if you find yourself traveling a lot, i would recommend getting an esim from ubigi. you can purchase cellular data from them in over 200+ countries. when i didn't have google fi, this is what i would use when i traveled, and it's great. instructions for installing the esim can be found here (iphone) and here (android).

i really love architecture. for a while, i would look at architecture websites all the time to learn about it. there was one house that i always loved. you can see the full post here (you need to create an account to view all of the photos), but below are some photos of the house itself. i wouldn't have water around the house, because it would attract too many mosquitoes, but it has a nice aesthetic. i would definitely landscape differently. 👽

it's almost time to file corporate taxes, so naturally i decided to get some booze at zeitgeist (one of my many happy places). thankfully, i have my trusty ti-82 calculator to do the math for me. here are some photos from my day. 🕺

i want to share an elegant piece of mathematical theory from the branch of topology that has always fascinated me. it's called brouwer's fixed-point theorem.

here's the idea in a nutshell:

imagine you have a cup of coffee. when you stir it, you're applying a continuous transformation – each point moves somewhere, but the coffee stays in the cup and doesn't move around continuously. the theorem proves that at least one molecule of coffee will end up exactly where it started before it was stirred.

kinda cool. 🤓
