Why we limit our team members at Sanscubicle to 60 hours of work per month. * Support data and additional reading.  

I decided to start a simple newsletter that collates my monthly posts into a single read. If you are interested in subscribing click here.

I got a new phone, so decided to mod some of my older photography into wallpapers over the weekend. I created a set of 3 from a previous trip to Rajasthan. If you're feelin' a phone wallpaper refresh feel free to download them here. 

In 2016 we started an exploration into the future of work. 420+ clients, 4 brands (DAOs) later I'm stoked to formally introduce you to Sanscubicle: Where we are exploring the future of work through a community of Service DAOs. To read our launch notes, click here.

If I could represent my Twitter feed over the years as a character, it would probably look like this. I decided to move to a Lists over Follows system this past weekend. A more contextual, in-line viewing experience. Digging the move so far.

Moving to New Delhi in 1995 from the US (baseball country), I was fascinated with the additional dimension of bouncing the ball, specifically in spin bowling. I learned the difference between off-spin and leg spin the hard way, I still call off-spin the nut cracker (I'm a right handed batsman). With time I became a fan of the craft and it's craftsmen. Truly devastated with the news. The Flipper was my favourite delivery of his. We lost a true magician. RIP.

DAOs and Flexi-working are a few of the concepts we have been digging into for our exploration into the future of work at Khoob. The likeliness of having multi-org/DAO CXOs in the near future was fascinating so I decided to jot down some thoughts.
