I have now deleted my Twitter account, and my medium account. All articles have been transferred to Nostr. I'm also done submitting with Bitcoin magazine for fairly obvious reasons.

Trying to channel my inner nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe here- vote for and build the world you want to see in your actions.

Nostr has incredible potential. Within the very definition of that potential there is no free lunch. Expect to pay for relays to host content, for clients to deliver it to you, and zap for posts or content you want to see. It should incentivise others to host, deliver or create content. I need to do more of this, but as a start any zaps to my articles on Nostr have been set up to send half to the relays that host them.

Elon Musk continues to head down the wrong path in many of his actions to monetise Twitter. It is fairly clear that much of what nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx predicted is coming true. By layering in identity verification, he is seeking to extract ever more value from users information.

Nostr needs to benefit from what Taleb referred to as the intolerant minority - in this case those who vote with their feet and refuse to engage with the walled gardens of Facebook and X, etc - and instead bring their time, money and attention to Nostr.

I'm not brave enough to delete X yet, but last week, I went zero hours on the site. That's way down from a 20 hr per week addiction to the useless dopamine mine.

Dumped a pot of last year's seemingly dead Dianthus. This is what came up. Let's see if we can establish permanent resting place for these guys. They like coffee too.

When devs figure out olfaction, this picture will have more meaning. The beauty is striking, but the scent is intoxicating.

GM, steak and eggs for breakfast.

Up late last night. Watched a live from 9-10pm then for some reason was in the mood for some Pink Floyd. So I started with The Dark Side of the Moon... This conjured up some distant memories...

Memory #1 I got a boom box cassette player back in 1981 or 82 🤔 it wasn't a bit one, but it was cool because you could record voice on a cassette or use it like an amplifier... Anyhow my dad gave me a double of dubbed cassettes one was Waylon Jennings greatest hits, and the other was the Dark Side of the Moon... I would listen to them before bed and falling asleep... I remember just starting to fall asleep and those clocks would go off on the song Time... Crazy right?

The other memory was a couple years later maybe 85 or so and I had this girlfriend that I met at church camp. Anyway we would go to these weekend retreats at this seminary in Ohio that was run by catholic monks... Anyhow I again have a different boom box (I maybe have been 14 or 15 at the time) and we're at this catholic retreat... We meet up out in the expansive gardens and sit out on some bench making out and listening to the Dark Side of the moon. Anyhow it gets hot and heavy and I end up finger banging her.

I don't remember her first name, but her last name was Rambo...

Also that weekend we broke into the kitchen if the seminary and stole a bottle of wine...

I'm pretty sure that weekend will contribute to me going to hell...

That seminary was a cool place. Sadly the tore it down to make a golf course I believe.

Well... His forgiveness is infinite. Time is one of my favorite tunes. Ah, to be young and shameless again.

Thanks for the nostalgia.

Yeah looks related. We pulled something from the side of the read and replanted it near the house. It's a bit different, but looks related as well. I'll try to remember to post when it blooms.
