Another relatively lengthy absence from #nostr here. The good news is we made a successful launch with our new Shopify store front. While this in one way is a milestone, it is really a gateway into the next phase of continuous user research and response.

Weather is cooling off here, so I intend to work on the #Ford soon. We bought an '87 last year, beautiful little truck in Eddie Baur brown. Cooling and suspension were the first priorities (as well as properly ensuring brakes - the real first priority after running).

Anyways, I've been reading "My Life on the Plains" by General George Custer. These types of historical American digs always bring me interest. Never doubt a good corner, a fine chair and lamp. I hope to post a summary of my reading later on. Any good communities out there for #americanhistory or #historicalliterature?

Love this - thanks!

It’s so hard to find a balance when it comes to mat time and lifting. Gone are my days of cramming as much as I can into my days. Now I maybe hit weights for a very fundamental 5x5 like twice a week on a good week. I treat mat time similar, at least the more open mat times and hard rolling.

🍻 cheers to tomorrow and the next friend

Hey! Very interesting topic and question. Posting here to follow along. Cheers!

Interesting. Like a reverse deposit of sorts. If they are first time holders and need my help setting up a wallet, I provide their first sats as a discount on their package or session. (Thinking out loud here).

Thanks for the reply! And cheers!

I’ve been thinking about that as well. My fear is that nobody in my area (that I know of) is a bit loner. Even friends and family seem to be skeptical in a sense. At least most people I talk to in person give me clear signs that they are not stacking.

I figured going #bitcoin only would be a clear beacon as to my intent and my confidence. Thanks for replying!

Should I take my local photography business to a #bitcoin only model?

#Jiujitsu class tonight, followed by an hour+ of open mat.

I find so much of a joyful response from my body and mind when I engage in the community of friends at my local gym. The challenge of training, refining each other in the heat of competition, with a mutual decision that win or lose, it does not matter. Only that we are improving. #bjj seems to channel me into a “journey” over “destination” mindset.

Day by day. Brick by brick. Better.

Good morning #nostr

Returned to work after a week in the Roosevelt National Forest. I highly recommend mountain landscapes and solitude to help slow down. We stay in small towns just above Boulder quite a bit.

This week in #UX I’ve been focused on some #UGC (User Generated Content) for our e-comm site. It’s awesome to see a more sovereign creator based participation have so much influence.

I’ve been pondering on how a return for quality content in a way becomes its own social contract or credit score. Direct reflections of our effort and hard work. Does this help gamify life?

I feel that the age of individual creators is upon us, confirmed also by the surge of movement to #nostr in light of recent events. I love to see it. Gone are the times of middlemen profiting from individuals being their products.

☕️ cheers

Woke up with this quote from Troy in my head.

"Myrmidons! My brothers of the sword! I would rather fight beside you than any army of thousands! Let no man forget how menacing we are, we are lions! Do you know what's waiting beyond that beach? Immortality! Take it! It's yours!"

Getting after it today.

I refuse to be the collateral damage in a cyber war that I never opted into.

FREEDOM

Nothing like a long weekend to continue my journey into self-hosting data and computing. It’s necessary that this becomes a commonplace idea of every free individual, to be concerned with privacy and seemingly free digital services. We are not products.

Good Morning #nostr,

I'm feeling good today, and I hope you are too. I have a large design sprint task to complete today. Sometimes these are my favorite days - days that have a clear goal and directive, a confident signal of completion.

Stoked on this. 🤙🏼 🔥

Strike and/or Alby. Good luck nostr:npub16e3vzr7dk2uepjcnl85nfare3kdapxge08gr42s99n9kg7xs8xhs90y9v6

Nephew's 16th birthday today. Crazy how time flies.

I handed down my copy of 'The War of Art' by Steven Pressfield. One I've read several times over the years and grew to love. Inside I had an air freshener of Goku from the Dragon Ball Z series for his new truck. It feels like yesterday I was driving on my own for the first time, yet it somehow feels like time is so different now. I turned 16 around the time he was born. Grateful to live and love.

How do you see the combination of #bitcoin and #nostr impacting the way an #eCommerce business operates? Internal and external systems seem to have use-cases, but nailing down specifics is where all the fun is. What ideas come to mind? #nostrdesign #userexperience

There’s nothing quite like loving what you do. Working hard is a good hobby.

Where’s the #UserExperience designers? It seems like this space is a great area for the next generation of digital experiences. The possibilities with #Nostr still can kind of break my brain - but I think that’s just the feeling of being on the edge of advancement. The horizon of concepts we’ve barely tapped into.

Happy to answer any questions you may have nostr:npub19aftr8lpgz8knmswjz0d3l9vzwx97dcvqh0zfuxcxu9d57t4yv3sz4v28l ! For context; I recently left a large corporate position as a UX Designer for a similar role at a smaller company that is just stepping foot into D2C with an e-commerce platform.

UX is a deep and often a hard to master line of work. That being said, there is endless opportunity. Especially with emerging technologies and platforms like #Nostr

Welcome to #Nostr nostr:npub1w5hrglpg428kjj6gkwpufsy9hgda26dtq43q397lsmqmtgwna20sk4twwp ! I’m just getting started as well, but I love it so far. #GrowNostr
