Hello.
I live in the city of Toronto. A lot of people know me as Jeeves.
I enjoy collecting and creating evocative experiences, words, and visuals.
I also like to laugh occasionally.
I am fascinated by many things, including: the future, forests, art, stories, jazz, food, words, photographs, economics, development, urban spaces, fog, communication, typography, the Internet, journalism, minimalist but cheerful design, journeys, and decent beer.
I’m glad you’re here;
let’s play together —
I don’t mind getting lost.

- JD: —and the real person?
- BLVR: Yeah.
- JD: Well, I don’t know. The real person becomes the role you have made for yourself.
I was always struck by the immense pressure the Stanford students felt to keep the illusion that they were doing well. We would refer to it as the Stanford Duck Syndrome: everyone gave the illusion that they were gliding elegantly across the water, but nobody could see that beneath the surface they were paddling like crazy to keep up.
My observation is that many people in tech culture experience similar pressure to maintain a public image. They are fearful of exposing their vulnerabilities to others or asking for help.
He wasn’t acting, and neither was I, but at the same time it was a game.
