F1 Miami took place this past weekend. It was fun to be part of it as we worked on the Empower Vista at Turn 1.
Big thanks the F1 Miami Grand Prix team for giving me my first ever experience in a race car (with the Precision Drive Club). At our January on site meeting, we were offered a ride on the track in a MacLaren 750. In the video below, you can see me confidently walking into the car and meeting my driver, Nico. Cool as a cucumber, I knew this would be fun and I was 0% worried. I’m a Boston driver, and I was quite sure I had seen things and done things on the Southeast Expressway that would make this little trip pale in comparison.
Nope. It was like being in a rocket ship… but instead of blasting into the sky, you blast towards a wall at 145mph. They were kind enough to send me the video, which I included here. See how I am all smiles at the beginning… like “let’s go faster Nico”. You can then see that smile turn to teeth grinding as we went from 40 to 140 to 25 back up to 140mph and so on.
Nico apologized that we could only go around the track twice, but I was secretly ok with that. It’s hard to look cool in Miami when you have your breakfast on the front of your shirt.
I really enjoyed giving at guest lecture at @mit . The students were as brilliant as you’d expect. I enjoyed our conversation about experiential graphics, technology, and fabrication in sports stadiums and their adjacent districts. The signs we built for @pentagramdesign look amazing, and help navigate the campus. However, I want to find the monster that put stickers all over them. Who would do that??? Who?
Happy 18th Birthday to Hannah. I’m proud of her for many things. She makes me laugh all the time.
Am I happy she’s 18? No, God no. I love her very much!

Everyone in this picture (except maybe Raggedy Andy) has a big birthday coming up this week. The one in yellow (again, not Raggedy Andy) has a birthday today.
Best Mom and Wife there is. Happy Birthday @sharon.mccarthy._
