Your support lets me know you care about the value of this work and the time and effort that goes into it. To put this in practical terms, your support is about the equivalent of a small cup of Dunkin' Donuts coffee per issue. I do in fact enjoy Dunkin' Donuts coffee from time to time...as a sip of nostalgia from back in the day when I'd swing by the one in Union Square during dot com one dot oh.
This newsletter is written by Julian Bleecker ( https://www.julianbleecker.com ) from the Venice Beach bureau of the Near Future Laboratory ( http://nearfuturelaboratory.com )
