  • these are from a place in bellevue wa that specializes in them.

    and feiw have been all over europe & asia but japan is hands down my favorite place to visit ever.

    tokyo is a monster of a great city … foreign as you can get but amazingly easy to navigate.

    very nice people, terrific food city with a really old beautiful culture.

    all i can offer for advice is to not over think it. find a flight and hotel in your budget and just do it. guarantee you won’t be disappointed ❤️














  • i also struggled with the idea of paying for this but tbh after using it for over a year now, i don’t have a problem.

    we live in a place with micro climates where there temps can swing widely at night from day to day & the auto pilot does small fine tuning based on a number of things. this for me at least is worth $10 a month.

    compare & contrast with the oura ring which requires a $5/mo sub to get any useful insight out of it - without the subscription you only get how long you slept witha proprietary sleep score that has no insight behind it. after spending a few hundred dollars for the ring this really started to piss me off.

    at least with the 8 sleep bed the device is actually performing / working for me vs just giving me data.

    the 8 bed also gives you much of the same data oura does so the subscription just hits differently for me.

    finally if you’re thinking about this - definitely consider the cover vs the full mattress. same tech and they way they’ve designed it makes it fit beautifully on your existing setup at ~ $1k less than the mattress combo 😊



  • not at all. i fell into computing in my mid 20s. somehow i managed to learn enough to get myself hired at one of the largest technology companies in the world where i’ve now been over 20 years.

    has it been easy? definitely not. without that classic computer science degree my peers have i’ve had to be scrappier and move faster to be on top of emerging tech where the playing field is a little more equal. i can this “surfing” the tech.

    since i started i’ve participated in the birth of the internet, mobile, public cloud, big data, startups and now ai.

    if you love it you can make it happen - just be realistic and stay scrappy ❤️
