I just need to allow them to flow by themselves. Enough motivation will create the kind of atmosphere that everything goes smoothly. (with Mauricio Jimenez Motta)

Keep moving. Go for a walk. Stay connected and someone will come talk to you. (with Mauricio Jimenez Motta)

atproto, nostr, webxdc, solid, remotestorage, and 'dapps' each have a different focus and data flow but i can't help but see them as collections of "web apps" and think it'd be possible and cool to give each web app the combined user base of the others

@Râu Cao ⚡ thanks for the zap! i was trying to understand how this works here. did you send it by clicking anything on my nostr profile or was it from a wallet directly?

The first time I visited Berlin, the area I stayed in gave me this feeling of calm and coziness such that I'd want to come back. I see more layers now after spending time in other neighbourhoods, but nice to connect with an old feeling by revisiting this moment. My time there definitely gave me an appreciation for public spaces, as they aren't so common in other places I've visited. And yeah, public sofas… Why not? --- During my personal travels between 2018 to 2020, I recorded one minute of ambient sound in various places to practice being still and appreciating what's around me, especially the so-called 'noise' which, although often ignored, can be quite rich when paying closer attention. The photos are just for fun and not necessary. Full collection at

starting to share quarterly updates on projects, writing, music, reads, and life via email; first edition now out. > I've shifted from "I should take less space" to "I'd like to connect regularly with people who want more".

Send me a gift

This is a page where people who appreciate what I do can send me "gifts" by clicking on pictures. These are not subscriptions, just a one-t...

i started a /now page, but i think it might be for myself more than other people, as i like the cadence of documenting where i'm at now and then. still, be welcome to know if you're curious 👋🏼

Now

the hard thing about starting a habit is often unclarity on how to integrate, more so than the action itself.

How do you make sense of changing someone's life through a random encounter?

I feel powerful, as if I can tackle anything. I can get answers by simply reading. I can just look at the code.

scrolling all my music on one page. how does it feel?

i learn from everyone, but the teacher is myself

grouping these together: - military's "never give a command that won't be obeyed" - teacher anti-pattern of "instructions that the student can't follow" - basic-minded "using a foreign language to feel superior with someone who doesn't know it" related to communication fails creating a false sense of authority and effectiveness. somehow everyone loses, but the speaker doesn't know.

i continue to be blown away by local community centers all over the world and how they offer so much that isn't legible or relevant to technological systems – the underrated potential of not needing platforms to care for or live with your neighbours.
