My wife @ericakochi just got back from shooting her new collection of mens shirts at Hyperblack Studios in LA. Very different vibe from my day at the Google office.

Very excited for what @kfasfaw is building with Kubik: Buildings made from recycled plastic waste. @ericakochi and I wrote the first check into the company! @buildkubik combines CO2 impact reduction with affordable construction.
