Probably preaching to the choir on this platform, but here’s my latest blog post

If I ever do a vanity rock band, I’m gonna call it Dirty Fiat

Not sure why indirectly being called bro bothers me, but it does.

Two of my kitties

Looking forward to being on the panel for this event. #Bitcoin #bayareabitcoin

Yet another Zen Groupie Post. My wide dropping the Dharma. 🔔🎤 The two aspects of non-dual reality #zen #truth #dharma #reality https://youtu.be/AG2r7cWrNfI?si=8ENMrOA_D6-IUnJ7

#Apple announces partnership with open AI, integrating into iOS I’m truly baffled, as to why these type of announcements don’t hammer #googl stock. 🤷‍♂️

"I knew that #AI demanded a lot of energy but I didn't know there would be literally a #AIpower struggle between AI and #Bitcoin that is going to disrupt everything including #renewable energy and #StrandedEnergy. See my latest blogpost:

Cat Dad in action

I think Nostr was made for times like this #gme #Berkshirehathaway.

There have been three major news events around Bitcoin money laundering, and tax evasion in the last week. The first two were low hanging fruit and could be arguable that they flaunted the law and deserved it. Going after Block and by default, Jack Dorsey is genuinely concerning. Reminds me of the old saying “just because your paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you” https://www.nbcnews.com/business/personal-finance/prosecutors-examining-transactions-block-owner-cash-app-squarc-rcna147181

Good luck! It’s pretty exciting what you’re doing I haven’t been this excited since 1999. When streaming first came around and I was working at NetTV. These new platforms can be always be a little glitchy but what you’re trying to do is very commendable. 🙌

When I say “Zen Groupie” it’s because I’m married to this amazing Zen Priest

They hired me to demo their system and in two pilot record stores. Soon they figured out I could break it pretty fast so I created a position for myself as software tester reporting to the C sweat. Some of the old-school Unix and Dos Dev’s took me under their wing. One in particular Huey was real mentor. I loved that he could have longhair and a beard. Take off to India for three weeks at a time. He used to do magic tricks as a way of relating to people. I had zero coding experience, but he taught me a few things in order to deep dive into the system.

They also had studios where they remastered the CD Roms and I would QC those sometimes. I develop a particular ear for being able to hear music at super fast speed, and still able to detect flaws from the mastering.

Finally through my testing and analysis I discovered that they made some design mistakes early on that were insurmountable. This is after they raise $40 million in early1990 money. So I left which turned out to be a big mistake because it’s stuck around for another year I could have learned a lot more. I’m still in contact with some of the people and very grateful to have been given the experience. 🙏 That changed my life.

The summer before my senior year of college, I took a job with these guys. I was a want to be rockstar and college radio DJ this change trajectory into the wonderful world of tech startups. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personics
