Days are cloudy ⛅️ even when the sun shines ☀️ when I stay inside.

Because of /pg-logo-129x80.png I’m watching the /gutenbergsite GitHub and getting on some mailing lists.

I love @gutenberg_org and appreciate the new website, but this logo… 👀

Ah, another day WFH ☕️ Comfy

Spending so much time at home draws my attention to the extremes: big ideas and little joys. Maybe it does the same for you.

#Crypto Stoic:

They say only bet what you can afford to lose.

I can afford to lose everything.

I don’t have solutions to sell you: Only a road to point to. You must make the journey on your own, Toward a future unknown.

Rex reccs old movie 🎥 🍿 : Bringing up Baby. Box office failure in its day, but it’s laughworthy.

🖼 TIL: Rodin’s The Thinker is a depiction of Dante Alighieri contemplating Inferno.

Humanity is just one big bull run with dips along the way. We’re making it.

The amount of time I spend staring at screens shocks me. Yet I’m still staring.

Improving my content with poetry Is but tiptoeing toward a beauty So fine: tweet by tweet I type out my words Alone at first, but soon beside pictures. 📝🖼

20 buckaroos I pity the foo

Of all sad things of tongue and pen The saddest are these: #Bitcoin Maxis were right again 😂📝

Marcus used to have the best online savings account rate. Ditched them for @BlockFi.

Knee deep in shitcoins

“Trust me!” cried the bard. We laughed and laughed—hard.

I’m more excited Christmas comes this year the more I ponder the holiday cheer. 🎄

Let’s toast cuz Friday’s here to usher in the weekend. Lift yer cups and get sippin’! ☕️

New flares dance in our neverending flame, And yet, the world remains mostly the same.

Have you heard about Mrs. Mercy’s fall? She left her husband and goes by Miss Small.

We must cultivate our garden.

A little learning is a dangerous thing.

Caravaggio: murderous master painter. Don’t see enough of that these days.

King Louis XIV designed the high heels he wore because he was short! The Sun King is an inspiration for manlets everywhere (except in spending—don’t emulate his money management). 🌞

Do you want a Halloween costume?

You’ll be amazed at what 20 minutes and 20 dollars can get you at a Goodwill.

God is beautiful and He loves beauty.

This is a clever way to get crypto if you actually shop: https://www.roundlyx.com/how/. Interesting considering the ballyhooed national coin shortage.

Anybody know an artist’s rendition of Cicero’s severed hands and head displayed in the ancient Roman Forum?

Asking for a friend. 😎

The humble cheeseburger is a culinary marvel.

Reading this lovely interview ca. 2018 with @nntaleb and @tylercowen: read here

The image of Cicero’s head and hands displayed in the Roman Forum is so metal.

TIL “Consumption drives nearly 70% of the economy…” (according to David Kelly, from JPMorgan Asset Management).

One tactic for keeping up on dates: the monthiversary.

Go on a date every month, corresponding to your first date.

For example, the 10th every month.

Try it. It works.

Anybody else intent on wrapping up Christmas shopping right now?

A big thank you to the weather for being beautiful the past two days, and to the unforgettable sky.

I got two Fridays back-to-back.

2020 is quite the spicy year. 🍷

Feels like a Friday. Leaning into this feeling.

Maybe I get two Fridays back to back. 🍷

Taste & Beauty

Guns are powerful.

But, ideas trump guns and beauty trumps ideas.

Beauty is a special blend of how a thing looks and how it’s made and how it works.

Taste is the ability to manage beauty.

Cultivate taste and live beautifully.

Just installed iOS like the rest of the non-beta plebs (because beta nonsense takes time).

Loving a big fat weather widget showing the next hours forecast. Gotta stay connected with nature, esp in WFH 4HL.

Skipped the morning coffee ☕️ today (because forgot to prep the cold brew yesterday), and it felt fine…

Until the WFH 4HL 2pm slump.

Time for a hot coffee. ☕️ Cheers!

Do you have any idea how many brain cycles I’ve used to slowly, painfully iterate on my computing work setups?

I helped kickstart micro.blog, and made an account back when it launched.

However, I didn’t grok microblogging, so killed the account after it collected enough cobwebs.

I think I get it now, so here I am.

DAYS WITHOUT A BLUE SCREEN: 0

Today in lindy: vinyl sales overtook CD sales (in revenue).

The iPad is a pleasure to use, and nobody comes close.

Android is a good enough alternative to iPhone (and is better in some ways).

Windows computers are a good enough alternative to Macs.

But the iPad stands alone.

Still suffering from the #SurfaceDuo mind parasite.

Wargaming replacing my iPhone with it. Would need a smart watch, no?

🤔

I’m enamored by @microsoft’s Surface Duo.

It seems so much comfier in the hand than your average smartphone. Looks extremely tactile. Will get my hands on one soon!
