The Concourse

Hello and Welcome to The Concourse! A sporadic newsletter by stoic da poet.

The Concourse will feature various thoughts & updates from stoic and generally lean towards my collective interests of: cities, coding, culture, creativity, conversation, and climate.

For now, I’ll share some updates on various projects. Join me as this continues to evolve.

Initiatives

  1. The official Concourse Codes website has been updated to a suitable state for sharing with the world wide web. View it here: https://www.concourse.codes/

  2. Have you ever wondered how much revenue an artist has generated from a single Spotify track? Now you can with Revenue Spot, my latest project. Check it out: https://revenuespot.vercel.app/

  3. I will be DJing my first “official” gig in Boston alongside my partner, DJ ELIXIR, this upcoming Sunday at a plant and thrift swap. Can’t make it? Check out my latest mix here: https://youtu.be/beo5g_K_EpE?si=4MwMaIye8WIpWNCN

Ambitions

  1. Next week starts an 11-week “Summer Sprint Series” designed to generate some finished projects with cutting-edge tech. Probably a bad idea.

  2. The 25 in ‘25 project continues, with an attempt to achieve 25 accomplishable things in 2025.

  3. STOLIMPICO, the seemingly never-ending project, continues in the background

Ponderings

To be stuck between the rush of productivity & the zen of contentment is to line dance; two steps right, two steps left, three steps back, hop forward. Cha-cha real smooth.

Shoutout to all my friends; to all my friends, shoutout to your friends.
Friends are refreshing.

Heat is oppressing, humidity is suffocating, and summer is supposed to be serene.
I may as well be a Stark. Get me North!

Wonderings

Some questions I’m wondering. Reply to this email in one line or more.

  • What hobby doesn’t get enough any recognition but actually goes super deep? Is it something you are passionate about? Let me know.

  • How do you handle the heat? Do you relish in it or just deal? Let me know.

  • What’s bothering you right now? What do you want to see happen?

If you’re reading this, I believe in you and whatever you feel passionate about. I appreciate your presence, be it virtual or tangible. Share with me your thoughts, ideas, and projects - I am always excited to support. Thanks for giving this a read, may this be a bright spot in your week moving forward!

Until next time,

stoic
