Friend shared a pic and it got me thinking… what have I pushed/done since writing this https://medium.com/@arjwright/taps-keyboard-the-evolving-of-voice-and-a-changing-computer-b22c45075e18 — I’m not pushing as hard as I used to; need to accelerate some lagging experiments

Birthday coming up in a few days and kinda waffling about various wallets and such. Been such an interesting series of lessons, that’s for sure.

Have half a mind to see if I could knit a few of these wallets a bit more. But, need to get the ring-based wallet off the ground first.

Then there’s these zaps. Not really sure they demand a “place to go” as much as they are a “spare change” type of wallet. Kinda interesting to learn.

But as a whole, being more than a wallet and a coin has to be the point of all of this. And that part is the further horizon I’m aiming towards. What is at that horizon? No clue. Just kinda going to discover something… interesting

I’m just a watcher and a wanderer

Carefully sowing seeds

Carefully pruning weeds

Leaving imprints

From something hopefully heaven sent

So that those meant

For more

Might find a means to explore their depths

Find the gravity to orbit this mess

And express to themselves even in jest

They are made of the same jets of light and rocks

Pulled together by a universal pair of socks

Uncomfortable as it seems

Their path is not wrought with dirty hots

They are merely stars forming

Where older stars have not

And I too orbit for a while

And carefully watch or cause smiles

So that after awhile

Those seeds and imprints

Blossom in them something when

It’s needed

And until then I watch and blend

Words with friends

Light and sounds and mathematical whims

Just a watcher and a wanderer

From each bright star I do indeed saunter

Nah… not the fun ones anyways

The weekly post of notable reads just posted at Avanceé… might consider some kind of nostr integration with MicroBlog eventually… and at the same time, shouldn’t nostr and ActivityPub just kinda “talk to one another?” Hadn’t protocols learned this bit already?

Will be interesting to see how (non-mastadon) networks handle the Twitter cross-posting bits… while a lot of web vets long for a return to RSS, I don’t think that will happen

Nostr/ActivityPub will be a answer for some. Email and paid networks for others. Not sure that federation will happen the way it could have. There’s something not quite clear to me (yet) about a shape of what’s next… or maybe yesterday’s memory persists just a bit longer

I really miss the web server I used to have on my (Nokia) mobile. Still imagining what things would have looked like if that vision of mobile came forth…

…would be like if relays lived on mobiles and the protocols to connect them were the marketplace where folks aimed to improve usability, security, experience, etc

We are all succeeding and struggling

It’s spring

There’s relief at blossoms

The pressing of breaking thru

The ground to new possibilities

There’s seeds where there was once dew

It’s spring

We are all growing and groaning

#poetry

Treated today like the old days… biked to several cafés and a lake. Took meetings everywhere. Took time to reflect and plot forward. Was a good day to just be out

The second of spring rains soon comes to a close

What was colorful in welcoming

Turns into colors willed for strength

This observer counts three more waters

Until the painting is complete

And at such a moment will colors spring

Offering this new year a hue never before seen

Never before smelled

Each rain a reminder of things once hidden

Opening into things once to enjoy

#poetry

Keeping pace, this is the week’s notable reads (and small thoughts) https://www.avancee.agency/2023/04/01/avance-reads-for.html

Day’s all done

So is my voice

Blessed convos

Wise counsel

Good day’s journey

Jaiku… memories 😢

Got in 27mi of mixed road cycling yesterday. Pulled out the Brommie for a few miles and the #CafeOffice for today’s jaunt.

Feels like I should sleep really well tonight. Legs def had their due

There’s lots of folks who come, then leave. So many nameless people who’s actions shape our towns, our communities, our very homes. We rarely know those folks… but sometimes we do. Honor those folks while they are here. Your foundations come from their lives.

#RIP Mr. Brundage

It’s been two months since my ebike stopped working… and I miss riding one.

Thing is, still can’t decide on whether to go eBrommie or something else. Cause if eBrommie, I already see *all the mods* which will happen.

Shame the Vello+ can’t be shipped. Would love to have that one 🤤

Fair… and shared

If they are using the services I’m familiar with, there’s nothing of that ID stored w/Twitter at all; services usually just pass back (to Twitter) with a “this person is, isn’t, or can’t be authenticated”

Authentication services are an interesting space. Some decent risk management happening, and also some crappy UX

Each week, I post an image/screenshot of notable items which passed thru my reading space. Sometimes there’s commentary alongside, sometimes there’s other writings.

Here’s this week’s share from Avanceé (reposts, reacts, or zaps welcome) https://www.avancee.agency/2023/03/24/avance-reads-for.html

Now that’s a lesson and then some
