I just listened to Cory Doctorow's Daddy Daughter Podcast, a talk with his 16-year-old daughter. His struggles to have her talking and elaborating about things, and her reluctance to be in the episode made me feel so calm about my own teenager and the dynamics of interacting with him.

I think the earlier we dads accept that there's no way to change how irremediably uncool we are in the eyes of our teenage kids, the smoother the ride is.

I love you, Andrés. I'm fairly sure you'll never read this, but if for some reason you do, you can bet on that.

This is a short post with no title (I call them "updates"). It's meant to be a single, simple, and short idea. Think of it like a tweet without the hate-speech.
