There was a year when I was in high school that I picked a different path for myself. A different school model. It didn’t work out as expected and turned out to be the busiest and most stressful time of my life to that point. From wake to sleep I was busy every day with school work.

I am grateful for that year. I unlocked a new understanding of what I am capable of. There was a clarity of mind I associate with that time as well. I was thoughtful about what I wanted for myself and took action towards it.

As embarrassing as this is to admit, I have not kept that same clarity of mind, directionality, and consistent action. Life changes and distractions come into play. I can forgive myself for this, I am young and still learning.

I’ve recently noticed myself entering a period similar to that time. I spend considerable time every day doing work with my future in mind. I am pushing myself where I haven’t been in the past.

It may be some time before I am the person I aim to be, and perhaps more time until I’ve achieved the future I envision for myself. But I making progress and good things will inevitably come.

I too long for land

What

There’s a book called One, No One, and One Hundred Thousand by Luigi Pirandello about this. It’s one of my favorites.

I have plans to reach out and share/discuss this project with academics who would find it useful. But those are on the back burner while I search for a job!

Ideally nanotech/nanomaterials, but more materials science more generally!

Not nearly as much as I’d like to, really have to prioritize the job before I can invest any more time in this project unfortunately

The reason I can’t work on this project for the time being is because I need to find a job. If any of y’all have a job for me in the Houston area, please do reach out.

Yes!! This is why I am building decentralized research publishing!

Refreshing

I will reach out to them!

Thank you, I just did this, let me know if it works.

This rocks

Will do and much appreciated!

Thanks Eshara! 🫂

Thank you TheRupert!

Hey all, I’m excited to share something I’m working on.

It is a scientific research journal built on nostr. I think nostr is the perfect architecture to build something that does research publishing better than what is the standard right now.

To name a few key things I envision with this project:

1. Research accessible by anyone. Scientific knowledge should not be restricted to a select few. This is not to say that there isn’t value in expertise, but to say that there is also value in diversity of thought that can only come from those who were not educated in the same system as many experts.

2. Comments can be left to explain, criticize, suggest research ideas to a specific part of a paper using highlights.

3. Research moves faster because it is cheaper and easier to publish, and becuase more people can interact with it.

I’ve had this project in mind for quite a while, practically since I first learned about nostr. I don’t know how to code though. So this project is my first real foray into vibe coding. That being said, this project barely works when I use it, and likely won’t work when you try it. Further, it is currently a very limited version of what I believe a research journal built on nostr can be.

I am posting this, in part, as a bookmark. I have other priorities right now and will not continue working on this project at least until January. I do plan to return to it and make it something great. I really do believe in it. I hope to continue building and sharing my vision for this, and I hope to talk more with you all about it. I know many of you have some serious developer/nostr wisdom that I want to make use of.

I’ve built a client that you can access here: https://nostr-research-client-dfokevu51-carsonminors-projects.vercel.app/

It currently has a lot of papers I published while building and testing different features. Please excuse that mess.

I also built an associated relay: wss://nostr-research-relay.duckdns.org

Bluebird by Charles Bukowski

there's a bluebird in my heart that

wants to get out

but I'm too tough for him,

I say, stay in there, I'm not going

to let anybody see

you.

there's a bluebird in my heart that

wants to get out

but I pour whiskey on him and inhale

cigarette smoke

and the whores and the bartenders

and the grocery clerks

never know that

he's

in there.

there's a bluebird in my heart that

wants to get out

but I'm too tough for him,

I say,

stay down, do you want to mess

me up?

you want to screw up the

works?

you want to blow my book sales in

Europe?

there's a bluebird in my heart that

wants to get out

but I'm too clever, I only let him out

at night sometimes

when everybody's asleep.

I say, I know that you're there,

so don't be

sad.

then I put him back,

but he's singing a little

in there, I haven't quite let him

die

and we sleep together like

that

with our

secret pact

and it's nice enough to

make a man

weep, but I don't

weep, do

you?
