I wonder how the Starlink outage is an affecting various states utilizing it for their militaries. And if it was an accident caused internally or a malicious action externally?

This is an attempt to write about a piece of life I passed through, divorce, and deferring it until it was too hard not to.

Too far down the wrong path

I can't tell you when my divorce was finalized, not that I don't want to, I just don't remember.

Well I’ve wrote a rough draft of something to do with divorce but it doesn’t really feel like anything worth reading. Perhaps I should read and edit it tomorrow. I’m hesitant to publish it as is because it feels rambling and doesn’t really have any kind of point it’s getting at. View quoted note →

I’m interested in writing posts derived from lived experiences. I’m just finding myself hesitant. It feels like airing my dirty laundry. But i know there is a personal benefit to sit down and process those moments and learnings from them. And if I’m going to do that, I feel like I might as well post it and maybe it’ll help someone else or perhaps I’ll connect with others who’ve gone through similar situations and get camaraderie out of the work. I’m not sure why I’m posting this about it. Perhaps it’s a ‘dipping my toes into the pool’ moment. If you have any thoughts on this I’d be happy to read them.

27 more listings and I’ll have 200 active eBay listings 😊🎉 It’s starting to reach the point where I have a few sales a day. Feel more like a store than an individual now. Will have to pay for a shop soon to up my “free monthly listings” from 250 to 1000.

How do you handle procrastination and creative avoidance? I wrote a short post about my issues with it and would love to hear any strategies others use to help get themselves going towards those things they tell themselves they want to do.

Creative Avoidance

I consider myself to be a legendary procrastinator.

I’ve been working on updating my old how to yo-yo book, Learn to Throw: a Beginners Course in Yo-Yoing for more than a year now. I’ve decided to publish the articles that comprise it as I go on my Substack and intend to self publish the completed and updated work in a book called Intro to Yo-Yoing once I’m done. This article is called A Brief History of Yo-Yoing.

A Brief History of Yo-Yoing

For a long time—and still in many popular accounts—yo-yos have been said to date back several thousand years.

When I sat down to write today’s Substack article the first thing I thought of was this fishing analogy I stumbled into while working on my eBay listings. I figured that was as good a topic as any.

Fishing Analogy for eBay

Most of my days are spent working on eBay lately.

It’s kind of exciting to see people are looking at the article. I didn’t email it to anyone so I’m guessing that means people who read it emailed it to people and those people clicked the link and checked it out? I’m not 100% sure but it’s still cool. View quoted note →

Back in March of this year my grandpa asked me What Bitcoin Is? Which I struggled to put into words and said I needed to write my thoughts out on it. That night I hammered out this essay in an attempt to answer that seemingly simple question. Today I polished it a little and added it to my recently created Substack account. It needs to be revisited and expanded on, but this is where I’ve gotten my explanation so far:

What is Bitcoin?

An Attempt to Grasp and Share the Logic Behind Bitcoin

Randomly decided to dehydrate a ton of mint. We have a 20‘ x 20‘ piece of our garden dedicated to just mint, mostly because it took over that area. So I picked a grocery bag’s worth, rinsed it, and now it’s in the dehydrator.

I spent all day listing individual Pokemon cards on eBay. One sold already. 3k more to go 😂🙃

If I understand correctly my nostr.build media storage expired a few days ago. But so far it seems like my videos are still up. I wonder how it works and when they’ll go away?

I’ve added some more guiding lines and have put some more work into the left side of the head (it’s right side), it’s slow and doesn’t look quite right yet but I’ll continue to take it slow and hopefully the process will eventually look like a miniature skull 🤞

Flow and grind yo-yo trick

Flourishy yo-yo trick from earlier today.

I’ve begun the long and pointless process of grinding a piece of gravel into a skull with a Dremel. My fingers are vibrating. I don’t know why I’m doing this, but I’m having fun. (Yes I’m wearing ppe.)
