# What I'm up to now(ish) >- Updated [[2025-06-04-Wednesday]] ## Work stuff I've been lucky to stay fairly busy with projects through [Greenhaus](https://damrunner.com/Greenhaus) since finishing my [[Why I took a sabbatical|sabbatical]]. I've gotten to do some really interesting data engineering work, build some agents & prompting tools, and help a few companies develop positioning and messaging frameworks for new products. As this wave of contracts winds down, I've been thinking a lot more about what comes next. Work-wise, this has manifested as splitting time between refining the Greenhaus position through pitches and website tinkering (check out this new [about timeline!](https://www.greenhausgtm.com/about)), chatting with some interesting companies about full-time projects. Adjacent to work I've been making healthy contributions to my thinking and writing portfolio. Thanks to some thoughtful nudges from peers, I've finally pulled some of that together into a Substack (yes, another late 30's white guy with a Substack, I know), the first installment being a [reflection on the importance of thinking in an increasingly automated world](https://adjacentcontext.substack.com/p/you-keep-using-that-word-i-do-not?r=5ggifr). There's are two questions that are very alive for me right now from a philosophical and practical perspective: - [[the future of saas|What is the future of SaaS?]] - [[what remains human|What remains human in a world of thinking machines?]] Things like [[Composability will define the next SaaS era]], [[marketing judgment is the future]], and (an extremely on brand) [[gtm as emergent hyperobjects]] give a window into what's been coming from those lines of inquiry. ### Other happenings  This spring Sisilia's short film *Skips a Generation* was picked up by the KC Film Festival, and it was so cool to see my better half on the big screen. She was also cast as Janet in Rocky Horror for the upcoming Roxy season, a dream role for her and I couldn't be more proud. I've been spending a lot of early mornings out on my brother's homestead where we're building a 40' high tunnel, tilling, prepping, covering, planting crops and planting an insane number of conservation trees. The irony of building a giant green house at the same time I'm building [Greenhaus](https://damrunner.com/Greenhaus) is not lost on me, and somehow, finding your way out of muddy, thick-mill plastic is an appropriate metaphor for both. ![[hightunnel.jpg|400]] Simultaneously, the wet spring/early summer is also reminding me that productivity is a (ahem)...[fluid concept.](https://substack.com/@damrunner/note/c-122762678?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=5ggifr) We've had enough water to stress test most civil engineering in the city, and the urban designer & planner in me isn't afraid to pitch in and clear drains now and again. ![[060325flooding01.jpg]] I'm also getting into the weeds on my first ttrpg game design. Long time player, first time game master. I'm enjoying the challenge of this kind of narrative design, annd a little overwhelmed by how much work it is to try and keep it all straight. Even though it's got me a little bit Charlie Day at the moment, I'm looking forward to how this will influence and improve all the other aspects of my life. #### Projects I'm currently engaged in  - [x] Refining my personal OS and refactoring my PKM for public consumption - [x] Supporting one of my professional alma-maters with fractional RevOps consulting - [/] Interviewing for full-time roles - [/] Experimenting with [Woodhouse](https://damrunner.com/Woodhouse), a locally-embedded LLM powered by my full obsidian universe - [/] Developing my first [#dnd](https://publish.obsidian.md/#dnd) campaign in [Ebberron](https://damrunner.com/Ebberron) - [/] Building a 40' high tunnel greenhouse & planting 200 conservation trees - [/] Developing [Adjacent Context](https://adjacentcontext.substack.com/) on substack - [/] Formalizing a new position, packages, and messaging for [Greenhaus](https://damrunner.com/Greenhaus) ## Ephemera ### On Air <iframe src="https://descent.live/adamdrunner" width="100%" height="360" frameborder="0"> </iframe> ### Currently Consuming %% DATAVIEW_PUBLISHER: start ```dataview table ("![](" + banner + ")") as Poster, created as Added, type, tags from "resources/media" where status = "in-progress" ``` %% | File | Poster | Added | type | tags | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------- | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [[resources/media/books/Blue Mars (1996).md\|Blue Mars (1996)]] |  | 2025-03-20-Thursday | book | <ul><li>#mediaDB/book</li></ul> | | [[resources/media/books/The Dawn of Everything (2021).md\|The Dawn of Everything (2021)]] |  | 2025-02-21-Friday | book | <ul><li>#mediaDB/book</li><li>#anti-library</li><li>#nonfiction/anthropology</li><li>#nonfiction/politics</li></ul> | | [[resources/media/books/Wildwood (2007).md\|Wildwood (2007)]] |  | 2025-03-18-Tuesday | book | <ul><li>#mediaDB/book</li><li>#nonfiction/nature</li><li>#nonfiction/ecology</li></ul> | | [[resources/media/books/Wind and Truth (2024).md\|Wind and Truth (2024)]] |  | 2025-04-17-Thursday | book | <ul><li>#mediaDB/book</li><li>#fiction/fantasy</li></ul> | | [[resources/media/games/Baldur's Gate 3 (2023).md\|Baldur's Gate 3 (2023)]] |  | 2024-01-20-Saturday | game | <ul><li>#rpg</li><li>#mediaDB/game</li></ul> | | [[resources/media/games/Clair Obscur Expedition 33 (2024).md\|Clair Obscur Expedition 33 (2024)]] |  | 2025-04-17-Thursday | game | <ul><li>#rpg/jrpg</li><li>#mediaDB/game</li></ul> | | [[resources/media/games/Control (2019).md\|Control (2019)]] |  | 2025-04-17-Thursday | game | <ul><li>#mediaDB/game</li><li>#fps</li></ul> | | [[resources/media/games/Horizon Zero Dawn™ Complete Edition (2020).md\|Horizon Zero Dawn™ Complete Edition (2020)]] |  | 2022-03-12-Sunday | game | <ul><li>#mediaDB/game</li><li>#rpg</li></ul> | %% DATAVIEW_PUBLISHER: end %% --- ![[footer#^a63e8e]]
