Today I’m aiming to be grateful, especially with work this evening (and be grateful to have work). And I going to give myself permission to relax, in part so I’m excited to work this week.
When I got on #nostr a few weeks ago I found out that @Bfgreen is a #penstr guy and a fan of Hugh MacLeod. I found this gem as I was purging some books last week. What a treat to have good coffee and a good book on a sunny Sunday.

Great day getting to meet other bitcoiners at @npub1knvg...lg29.
Here’s the #zaplog for the day - lighter than normal - I’ll make up for it tomorrow 😀😂
Check out @Odie 40HPW ‘s vlogs if you haven’t yet. They’re so great. And thanks @miljan for the sats and the repost. It was super cool to see that’s when I opened up @primal this morning.
Good night 😀👊 💤


Great two days at @npub1knvg...lg29. Not only did I meet other bitcoiners in the flesh, but I meet people who are on nostr. I feel fortunate to get to do that.
Today I ate lunch with someone on nostr who, like me, has spent sats with @SoapMiner and @Great Ghee. That was super cool! And they #zapsnag some wine from @Ben Justman🍷 a few days back.
All in all a great two days!

The goal today is to enjoy meeting other bitcoiners in real life at @npub1knvg...lg29 and not be shy, being the ambivert that I am.
Tonight I need to be present with the kids and let them dictate how the night unfolds.
Also, there is no reason to listen to any podcasts today. I need to let my mind wonder and “prep the soil” of my mind to be ready for a great work week on Monday.

Great day.
- Meet bitcoiners in the flesh at @npub1knvg...lg29 and had some great conservations.
- Several walks with a be dog to get in the steps to 10,000 sats for the @npub17kwj...jl36 challenge. It was so cool to those sats come in.
- The fancy dinner with the high schooler was the highlight of a great day. Hanger steak is always my go to when it’s on the menu.
Here’s the #zaplog for the day.
Congratulations to @Jake Woodhouse on doing his 100th podcast episode. That’s some serious #proofofwork so I sent him some sats. I’ve done a lot of podcasting for my day job and 10 episodes is really hard. Well done 👊

Just meet @Ben Justman🍷 at @npub1knvg...lg29. Great guy and it was so fun to get chat with someone in the flesh I only know through #nostr.
We’re going to win!

Has anyone ever done any hosted mining? Has anyone used @npub10vkw...y3ep?
I feel like I owe everyone an apology. I bought some #bitcoin at 110k earlier this morning. The price always goes down after I buy 😂
Good morning 😀👊☕️

I’m aiming to be kind and useful today, and to get clear on what useful means to and the rest of 2025. And I need to be compassionate with my middle schooler tonight - they’ll likely be tired and grumpy.
Here we go!

Great day. I rode the stationary bike and spent 45 min with @Maple AI trying to figure out how to make a solar set up to power #bitaxe miners. Definitely not worth the cost in terms of ROI but it would be fun to do. People spend money on things that are fun, right? 😂
I wasn’t on #nostr as much today so I was net ahead on zaps thanks to some generous zaps 🙏🏻👊 ⚡️
Good night.

I just gave someone who does a small amount of freelance work for me a small raise.
It feels great, and it’s a meaningful bump for them, but it also begs the question:
Do I need to build a bigger business so I can pay more people? I’m blessed that the business itself helps people in a direct way, but it’s “solopreneur” business - just me, one assistant and one contractor. It’s small and elegant, but it’s only helps three people.
Something to consider.
(I’m not sure I’d have asked this question four weeks ago, before I was on #nostr)

Today I’m aiming to be useful and kind, and to hit the pillow satisfied with the day’s work. And get in a bike ride.
Here’s a book I read every morning. Pressfield’s “The War or Art” is a must read for anyone staying a new project, as well as people in the arts.
“The Daily Pressfield” explains the steps an author goes through to bring a book into the world, but this process can be applied to anything where you’re creating something out of nothing.
What a treat to start the day with a bit of Pressfield wisdom. And the illustrations are exceptional too.
