Resilience. Abundance. Sovereignty. Human flourishing. These are a few of my favorite things. Roasting Otis Bitmeyer Coffee and sharing it with friends.

To all my fans:

Thank you. May the blessed richness of cheesecake envelope you in its sweet embrace. May your notes be wise and beautiful melodies that rise to blanket the earth with abundance. May you ride through life on the sofa that is the breath of divinity. And at the end of every day, may you take a few deep breaths to remember that you are already at the party.

To all my h8ters:

Thank you. May your Toaster Strudel always turn out a smidge darker than you prefer. May your DND games be dynamic and engaging. May empathy and compassion support and embrace you like a Sleep Number mattress set to the perfect firmness. May freedom and peace accompany you as gentle and comforting reminders that you’re already at the party.

To all my ambivalents:

What’s up. May your house be blessed with exquisite fine rices from all over the world. May your toothpaste always flow from the tube like slightly softened butter. May your work be strong, thoughtful, and just. And in those moments when you find yourself chasing thoughts through your mind, may you pause to remember that you’re already at the party.

A sovereign life

Yesterday I spent the day in the woodshop, which is always a treat. I finished a cold air return grate for a family member and started work on an end table enclosure for our S9 spaceheater. Our goal for the end table is that it looks nice enough to keep in our living room while also serving as a side table. Eventually I plan to build a matching dehydrator that we can connect to the cabinet when we have things we want to preserve. Aesthetic functionality for multiple purposes is the goal.

Today I'm beginng work on a cookbook for recipes from the cafe we owned in a previous life. I'm not sure where this will lead, but both Mrs. Bitmeyer and I have been drawn to making something to commemorate that season of our life. It feels good to start excavating those memories again.

Bonus: it's snowing. I've never lived in a place with enough snow, so bring it on!

Note to self:

Beware of anyone who tries to tell you what you should eat.

A useful but challenging line of thought to explore. Solomon had some thoughts about this back in the day.

A quick, easy and effective way is to use https://pay.zapit.live/ .

There is many other nostr apps but this one is the most stable in my experience. Unfortunately it lacks many features to set up a perfect shop. But I can hardly recommend other platforms like lnbits and plebian.market since I've had difficulty with them. The guys are doing great work but it is hard work and not on point yet.

Amethyst recently added a feature which can allow you to add a product to the nostr marketplace in less than a minute. But it is more like a Craigslist experience.

The best move is to set up a website using woocommers and BTCpay. Requires a lot more effort and technical knowledge. Our friends at Agora256.com are helping with the server.

thanks! I just started looking at BTCpay, but still need to spend more time wrapping my mind around how it works.
