Volume
In one of my writing workshops, a couple people got salty when I said: "You need a better reason to publish than 'It's Tuesday.'"
It struck a nerve because the dogma of SHIP SHIP SHIP runs deep in the online writing world. But I don't buy the dogma. My rule is: "Write every day; publish when you have something to say."
That said—starting today, I’m going to start publishing weekly.
I don't know if it will be the same day each week. But I do know that I have something to say.
I have something to say about media, publishing, writing, and the future of it all. My team and I are trying to embody that future at Altamira.studio. And I believe I'll have something worth sharing about it every week for the next 52+ weeks.
Everything I’ll discuss here is the output of a team. The team is on a mission to ignite a new cultural golden age. Interestingly, we think the American business world is the cradle for the next golden age.
More on that soon.
🙏 Thanks for being here so far, and I hope you'll stick around for this new chapter!

P.S. In 2021 I wrote a poem called "The Volume Knob" (below). At the time, I saw volume as a bad thing in general. But now, I'm realizing that volume without purpose is the thing I reject, not volume itself.

Updates on the future of writing & publishing
It has come to my attention that some people view my business, Altamira Studio, as a competitor to theirs. I never really thought this day would come. I’m glad it has.

This will become increasingly clear to our non-competing 'competitors' in the coming weeks & months. My sentiment toward anyone who sees...
I keep meeting lifelong readers who can’t find anything they want to read. They walk eagerly into bookstores, only to walk out empty-handed in disappointment, having filtered out everything on the shelves. Maybe they see a compelling title, so they pick up a book. But when they flip it open, they’re quickly disappointed: they see obvious fluff, dumbed-down writing, shoddy research, bad typesetting, and often cheap binding. If you’re a reader and this rings a bell, I’m here to tell you: you’re...
If you’re like me, you don’t own a printer. But you sometimes wish you could print out some of the best online writing and read it peacefully …offline. 🛋️📖 That’s the idea behind Printernet. It’s a one-of-a-kind passion project by Jake Weber, a fintech engineer and fellow Austinite. I ordered my first Printernet edition in September. Since then, I think I’ve begun to get a sense for how to curate for this unique format. I’m ordering another one now. If you’d like your own copy of this...
