The State of the SF Food Scene, with Noah Smith

I got Chinese food with @Noahpinion [https://x.com/Noahpinion] and @koreanpeptides [https://x.com/koreanpeptides] while we went through the best food in SF for each cuisine. I also put the camera on the lazy Susan so you as a viewer can be one with the Chinese food.

The State of Tech Media

No one asked and I delivered. Here are my thoughts on the current state of tech media while I take a bubble bath and risk destroying my fully specced out macbook forever. I also read some fan mail.
