Latest Newsletter: Money, Movies, Kindness, Elon and Barack (Issue #140)

Great mix this week. It’s the intersection of tech, AI and humanity and all the things good and bad that connect us. There’s a weird zen balance to it all.

Latest Newsletter: Social Media Renaissance (Issue #139)

Twitter is imploding but decentralised social media is entering a very interesting moment. AI futurism you just have to laugh at and let’s abstract everything for infiniti. Business as usual.

Latest Newsletter: Exhausted (Issue #136)

Another emergency issue to ensure something gets sent out. No more physical media, lots more lies. How’s that total societal processing capacity going for you?

The motorbike gang stalker intimidation continues, that’s my current reality interface headset. I’m just trying to build a static site generator.

Latest Newsletter: Bitcoin Butterfly (Issue #134)

Money, bitcoin, free speech, AI assistants, static site generators, roman history, kiosks are cool, physics is barmy, Cockney rhyming slang and I’m loosing my mind again.

Latest Newsletter: Beware Of Circularity (Issue #133)

Everyone has been going on about circles and circular economies recently. I’m not so convinced. Circles can be vicious, mindblowing is the new super easy peasy. Lots of great podcasts this week.

Might as well post it here too. You guessed it. It’s another multiverse escalate to infiniti to destroy everything again.

Latest Newsletter: Circles or Squiggles? (Issue #131)

Exploring both the good and bad sides of tech. How do we progress when there is clearly two sides to the coin? Some incredibly awesome futuristic stuff but also some somewhat darker things too.

I think my account nip5 is setup but I’m not sure. How can I check that it’s correctly setup?

Latest Newsletter: A Bit of a Trip (Issue #130)

We are entering into an era of very long timescales. This week we go on a bit of a journey in space and time to try and get handle on what this might mean exactly.

The new profile pic was taken right after getting my new glasses. I was still a bit shocked at how the world looked.

Just update profile pic and banner image

Trying to setup nip5 verification. It’s very confusing that there are 3 profile names: ‘name’, ‘username’ and ‘nip5 verification’. Totally not obvious which you have to use where in the config.
