500+ Connections on LinkedIn

As of today, I have created 500+ connections on LinkedIn. I am not sure if anything will change. I hadn’t had any job offer on LinkedIn. I hadn’t found any meaningful connection. I use LinkedIn primarily to promote my work. Even that doesn’t bring much visibility. Nevertheless, it doesn’t hurt to use the platform for that. At least it is an additional space for me to share my new projects. I still use this blog to share my latest works.

X-ed

I hadn’t post on my X account in years. Yesterday, I finally pulled the plug. I am not joining any new or alternative social platforms. I am still on LinkedIn, but it doesn’t seem to do anything for me. I am still active on Facebook because I have lots of family members there.

Get a Free Copy of Flexible Typesetting

My friend Tim Brown is giving away Flexible Typesetting. Head over to the beautiful book website and subscribe to his mailing list to get yourself a copy. Right now, Tim only offers the PDF version. I hope he will turn it into a web book in the near future. No pressure, Tim.

Friday Stock Roundup

TVGN is doing great. It is rising to $3. CNSP is doing really bad. I bought it at $0.27 a share now it is down to $0.13. I think we’re going to lose it all. Lesson learned.

I am still keeping an eye on RIVN. It is still around $10. The company is not doing too well. It has product issues as well employee safety issues. Oh well.

Have a great weekend, traders and investors.

Rally

Rally is a small digital product studio in Salt Lake City, Utah. Its website is just beautiful from colors to typography to transitions. (I should start looking for cool website designs again).

More Penny Stocks

Our investment in Tevogen (TVGN) is doing good. It raises steadily. The strategy is sell high and buy low. It is very tempting to sell off then buy again, but we are no expert. I can’t follow the stock price all the time. I have a full-time job to do. We just keep it for now.

Today, we invested in CNS Pharmaceuticals (CNSP) at $.27 a share. I don’t know much about CNS other than it is “a biotechnology company specializing in the development of novel treatments for brain tumors.” The risk is quite high, but my wife told me to buy it. We made a small investment. If it busts then it bursts.

Rivian (RIVN)

I am keeping an eye Rivian electric car. Its stock price is $10. It was almost at $130 back in 2021. It seems like a good time to buy. I am sure Rivian will be around for a while. I just need to find the fund to invest.

Postpartum Psychosis

Eren Orbey writes for the New Yorker:

Cora was five, Dawson was three, and Callan was eight months old. Pat loves to talk about them and dreads having to explain what happened. On January 24, 2023, he stepped out of the house in Duxbury to pick up children’s medicine and a takeout dinner order. When he returned, less than an hour later, Lindsay lay semiconscious in the back yard, having cut her neck and wrists and thrown herself from their bedroom window. She’d left the children strangled in the basement. Cora and Dawson were pronounced dead that night; Callan was airlifted to a hospital, where he died a few days later. “I have three kids,” Pat sometimes still says, out of habit, before adding, “They are deceased.”

Mental health is a serious issue in America. I am enrolling in the Mental Health First Aid Training to learn about the signs and symptoms.

Thow

I invested in a future font called Thow, designed by Dương Trần. My hope is to include in my book a recommendation for a typeface designed by a Vietnamese designer. We’ll see how far Dương Trần will go with this typeface.

Scalia Law School Faces $38 Millions in Losses

Paul Caron writes on the TaxProf Blog:

George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School will have incurred more than $38 million in losses over five years by the end of its 2025 fiscal year, according to budget projections shared with the wider university’s board of visitors at a meeting Thursday.

Here’s the breakdown:

The annual losses the school has posted have increased nearly every year, from $3.8 million in 2020, to $3.3 million, $4.3 million, $5.8 million and $7.8 million in the years following. In its 2025 fiscal year, the law school is projected to lose $13.2 million.

I don’t know anything about the school financial situation, but I am not surprised either.
