I know homeschooling is popular among a lot of people now, but I’m grateful for the public schools I went to.

The teachers were wonderful, grew thick skin, and created life long friends.

I know it’s not perfect, but it’s not evil.

#[0]​ love your bio. Cast iron skillets for the win!

When I moved out my mom gifted me with one, it’s honestly all I use to cook with.

What’s your opinion on stainless steel?

I have been surfing all my life. When I was little, I stood on the board with my father. In the photo I am about 14 years old.

Surfing? Great!

GM and Happy Friday! 💜🫂🤙🏻

Just checked my plants, everything is growing well. Lettuce ready to eat, tomatoes and wild strawberries have flowers. #grownostr #Plebchain

Happy Friday

Some memories

Surfing in Guadeloupe is being at home

(I learned to surf and walk here almost at the same time 😂)

I’ve been working on nostr projects / designs for a while now and love it! I do it in my spare time pretty much as a hobby.

My main work is freelance design. It’s flexible and I go from project to project and occasionally have some longer term “upkeep” arrangements.

Naturally, when I see that there is funding available for Nostr project, I am intrigued. It would be amazing to work on Nostr in a more serious capacity besides night/ weekend tinkering.

The challenge is that grants are for individuals and prioritize development just by the nature of needing to “get things done”. I totally get it. However, as a designer, I am not sure how I would fit into that requirement because my work requires cooperation. Specifically, cooperation with developers. So, I am unsure if I can even contribute in that capacity. Do I bother applying for one? I don’t know…

While I understand that it needs to be built to even have a chance, I also believe design is required for some products to take foothold. More often than not, good products are burdened by bad design. I see a few of such products / clients out there right now, but it is not my business to explain it to them.

The startup model has an advantage in my opinion as it funds the team working on a startup and not just one or 2 developers. Teams consist of product people, developers, designers, and a jack of all trades founder who typically fills multiple roles.

Anyway, I am just putting this thought out there, to see if anyone has any thoughts about it.

Learning a foreign language in the future may still be valuable. People will still want to connect and communicate in their own language without the hassle of a real time language translation. The lag in the conversation introducing friction.

And if it’s not socially valuable, it at least provides brain benefits

Oh boy, Full moon is in full force.

Anyone else know the world goes crazy for a day?

Actually the banks hours and restrictions are an inconvenience.

Maybe I’m completely alone in this but I read blooskeee instead of “blue-sky” and that keeps me from ever wanting to use it because wtf is a bloo skee?

I moved to Geneva in 2008, yet I’m still a tourist at heart.

Genghis Kahn largely allowed free speech and famously allowed freedom of religion. That was hardly a democracy.

At that demonstrating an example of one that has existed doesn't prove or disprove my argument. Just because no non democracy has (in the theoretical world where that were true) doesn't preclude one.

GM☀️ plebs and plebs!

Woke up feeling tired, even after 8hrs sleep.

Now, feel ready to kick ass after drinking my morning cup.

Sleep is a weak substitute for coffee.

GN lovely folks of nostr 💜
