Some questions that come up about this site, its projects, and the person behind it.
What is Coolbluebike Hub?

What is Samwise Agency?
Samwise Agency is a sister site at samwise.agency that publishes AI-curated daily newsletters on topics including tech & AI, Formula 1, MLB baseball, and Greater Toronto Area news. It’s an ongoing experiment in automated publishing.
How often is this site updated?
Whenever there’s something worth writing about — which is to say, irregularly. Project updates go up when milestones are hit. Blog posts go up when something needs to be said. There’s no fixed schedule.
Can I get in touch?
Sure. The site doesn’t have a contact form at the moment, but JD can be reached through the usual channels if you know him, or via the Samwise Agency site if it’s newsletter-related.
Why is it called coolbluebike.com?
Good question. Some domain names have a story; some are just what was available on the day you needed a domain. This one is the latter. The site’s actual name is Coolbluebike Hub — the domain is just where it lives.
