Taking a Few Days Off
I am taking a few days off. No posts here, no newsletter, no notes from the road. Things will be quiet on om.co until I am back.
The last few months have been heavy on output. Essays, the newsletter with Fred, the long pieces on OpenAI and AI infrastructure, the photo work, the pen notes. It adds up. My brain needs a break. I need some exercise as well.
I will not be checking email. I will not be reading Feedbin. I will not be drafting in my head. Time to read some fiction. Mysteries, to be precise.
If you have written to me recently and I have not replied, I will get to it when I am back.
I will see you in a few days.
Be well.
Enjoy and relax
Best Wishes
-Michael

Om Shanti
I learned so much from Om and enjoyed his sense of humor and unique personality. He will be missed. Rest in peace Om.
Rest in peace. Your wisdom and kindness will be missed.
Om embodied the best of what the Bay and startup culture has to offer. Kindness. Energy. Toughness. Stick-with-it-ness. Through his work and many YouTube interviews, he inspired me to move to SF, which I did in 2023. Thanks Om for all your light and driving power. You are a force!
Rest easy brother
It’s sad to read these words now. RIP Om
You will be missed. 💐
Enjoy the stars Om. You will keep shining brightly among them.
Rest in peace, Om, and thank you for your contribution to the world.
We miss you friend.
Rest in peace, Om.
Om Shanti
I can’t believe you are not with us anymore. Learnt so much about modern tech from reading your blogs since 2008. I recall our conversations on Twitter (and email) on all things life, cinema, music, and photography.
We could never meet in real life as I was busy with my journalism work at TOI in India and couldn’t plan my travel to SF at the time. Then, due to personal reasons, I was offline for a couple of years. Always thought one day we gonna meet in NYC or SF and catch up on life and movies, but now it remains a regret.
Rest in peace, Om. I will see you on the other side when it’s time. Om Shanti. R
