Welcome!

Welcome to thirty-two eleven (”3211”). This newsletter will entail: 3 Reads, 2 Rabbit Holes, 1 Watch, and 1 Listen — 3/2/1/1. Detailing what I have been up to, on the internet.

introduction:

Traveling for work in North Carolina this week. Checked out the US Whitewater Center with my free time. I didn’t want to get wet so went mountain biking around the grounds. Really cool spot with tons of activities. This is where olympic canoe and kayakers come to train.

3 reads:

1 - Why do horses sleep standing up?

2 - Swimming in Iceland is huge. Between the late 19th century and the early 20th century, thousands of Icelanders — sailors at sea, fishermen — lost their lives to the sea, tragically drowning.

In 1943, Iceland mandated swimming lessons for every child over the age of 7. To this day, all school-age children in Iceland participate in compulsory swimming lessons for one month a year, until the age of 14, when they’re expected to demonstrate swimming literacy, by swimming 600 yards unassisted.

3 - New trend of immersive experiences - can see this being more common in the future.

2 rabbit holes:

1 - The thoughts from an engineer who worked on Apple’s new Vision Pro, the AR/VR Headset released at WWDC. This thing is going to be wild - Marques Brownlee does a good job breaking it down.

2 - Vintage National Geographic Magazine Covers

1 watch:

1 - James Turrell is a fascinating artist I recently found. He makes real life art using light.

1 listen:

1 - Rob Dyrdek back on the my first million podcast. He is low key a very successful venture capitalist and tracks every minute of his life. In this episode he breaks down his full net worth and tells about recent ventures.

Cheers,
