This Email Could Have Been a Meeting

Short updates from Allen

Hello there!

Memorial weekend is amongst us, wait a sec, that was last weekend. Anyway I have a short update:

Saw some rocks in Iceland

1. Next week, we will see the release of a technical piece around Payroll, Stablecoin, and Float Sandwich, which is me taking a stab at describing a hidden but not really hidden industry.

2. I also expect to, but probably wont, finish my new thoughts on Eve Frontier. I went to EVE Fanfest 2026 this year in Iceland and there’s a lot of excitement to be had, underpinned by a basic premise: The game has to be fun.

   1. Also yes I did go to Iceland, Golden Circle, South Coast, and Jokulsarlon are very nice places.

3. I am running a 50k Ultra for the last May Weekend. I’m in the FAFO era of endurance running, and it’s a primer to my July Leadville 50M goals.

That’s it!

Don’t be a stranger now.
