@summer_burkes The daughter with the knowing looks?? (I could only handle the first hour).
Just catching up on the narwhal tusk news. Anything else I’ve been missing?
Good music, coffee, the open road with dog as my co-pilot is #bliss. And the last leg of the adventure for now.
If you speed up when someone is passing you, YTA. Double so, if it’s a two-laner. No matter how fast you drive, there is always someone who drives faster. Don’t be the obstacle, clear the path.
Good idea for hygge binge watching! https://twitter.com/rosiepongracz/status/1201222918102904833

@busynessgirl I consider my current lifestyle to be kinda retirement, but also working. But when there is a break between my paid work, I do retirementy things.
It's been some time since I was totally distracted from the Internet. But during the past 2 days I have logged barely any online time, so I guess this is an amazing distraction. 🤩
Update: episode 2, season 2 of the expanse. Binge watching with baked chicken, prosecco, ice cream, dog, and cute guy in dome loft. See you in ?????
Woke up to rain in the Mojave, smell of creosote. Hiking plans delayed, guess it’s back to binge watching, cooking risotto and some writing. Officially the holidaze at Dome Vescent.

@dgwbirch I will have definitely crawled out of my hermitage by then. (PS is this for KNOW? I'll be there too!) xo
@kayaelle Would love to have you visit my friend!
More rain, sleeping guys, Tycho album, hot tea, time to write.
@victoriajane OMG Victoria. You really shouldn't have. I am just ... I don't know what to say. Thank you! Pics later. Please come visit again anytime my friend! ❤️ And Happy Holidays.
TFW your mechanic is impressed with the 6 inches of mud in your undercarriage. (And this is after 4 car washes, and 3 power washes.) He's got a plan to help me clean that mud off too. 🤓🤠🚙
@hacks4pancakes What do you need? Happy to throw in some $$$ as thanks for how you enrich my life.
@victoriajane I see inspiration in my future! Thank you again. You really went above and beyond.
Season 2, episode 5, why wasn't this a season finale? It's better than a season finale. Also loving Amos even more the second time around. #theexpanse #holidaybinging

This was one of my favorite talks at DEFCON. It illustrates an unusual (creative & innovative) fraud attack vector. Wonder if there is some identity technology that could possibly assist in reducing this hole... https://twitter.com/dcuthbert/status/1202887814553243653

@anabjain Living well in the harshest climate I know (the Mojave), growing up GenX under MAD, my Buddhist practice of #bliss and #emptiness, friendship and love without attachment, dog as my co-pilot, accepting the inevitablility of unintended consequences and my/our death.
Attempting to land back in the human sphere after having one of the most transcendent Korean spa treatments that spontaneously triggered a tantra practice I sometimes attempt. We are just baubles of divine conscious wrapped in human flesh experiencing time. #bliss #emptiness

@EmLindley @winemaker @Identiverse I'm just so tired of people complaining about lack of usability of technology/standards and alienating + not funding projects & people (like me) who could take these concepts to new audiences. But I'm tired of fighting for a place at the table.
@winemaker @Identiverse I would guess the negative reaction was expressed in defensiveness and fear. It's easy to focus on our position of power + strengths and demonize our weakness as not important/relevant.
@EmLindley I fully expect to be demonized/attacked for it. 😢
Attention my Canadian Identity friends... https://twitter.com/mydiacc/status/1204846032741384203

@EmLindley @winemaker @Identiverse Thanks Em. I had no idea. I felt so alone in this experience. There are so many amazing people in this space, I hope we find a way to move forward and learn/incorporate their experiences/knowledge. We owe it to the people of the world we create digital identity for.

@Cannibal I'm truly sorry. I'm sure you know how the story runs... abandoned cabin on the Crest, supernatural woods thing, dumb drug dealers, a mystery unfolds, the LAPD gets involved/confused, love triangle, etc. etc. (Guess I could write this screenplay.)
@Cannibal I'd also throw in some Clowns on Hollywood Blvd at the Frolic Room (oh wait, that actually happened on Saturday).

Re-watching #TheExpanse in prep for Season 4, I'm struck with how much it reminds me of Roadside Picnic (which was the inspiration for Stalker & Cacophony Society Zone Trips) -- the whole alien trash, no instructions, open a space for something beyond the norm. #scifi

I would watch footage of pet owners making beds for their pets and them snuggling into them/tucking in their pets into their blanket bed/forts. I get endless pleasure from tucking in Archibald. Purrs and soft sigh sound required. #snuggleshow

Must watch Netflixing --> The Laundromat. Dry, witty, entertaining storytelling of Mossack Fonseca. Great acting, great shooting, sets, costumes, stories, and of course, we all need to become aware of the use of shell companies and fraud with a good story.
@Cannibal That was the hardest thing for me when I was single after a long relationship. Every dinner was heartbreak. So I completely changed my eating habits (became way healthier). This also helped for getting in shape = endorphins to help get over heartbreak.
@Cannibal Wish you well to process all you need to and adjust to a new life. The only thing that remains is change.
After weeks of travel, friends and event planning - I may be able to indulge my introvert hermitting -- just as soon as I drive to San Diego and back for Archibald's eyeball appointment this afternoon. 😭😭😭
Morning thought/question: Friends, how do you deal with/negate/antidote jealousy/envy? I know there is a lot to celebrate of our own lives/successes & you never see the inside of another's world. How do you shift this thought into a positive when it occurs? Thanks!
I would like to see this mashed up with @_Kustodian_ 's shelf babies. I'm sure you put a bunch on ice, right? 😊 https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1205967261535809538

@_Kustodian_ Of course they are! I hope you bottled some bubbly ones too.
@Cannibal I stole the idea from my friend @busynessgirl. It really worked for me for the day to day. I ate mostly veggies - bonus in that it helped me get healthier too. I would also invite friends over for dinner/bunch and shared meals with friends (I love to cook for people).
@AlFl Yeah, I have been watching it and it's interesting. It's totally irrational, because I have done/had the same opportunities/etc the stuff I find myself feeling jealousy/envy about. Because I feel like I don't have it *right now*. Le sigh.

How is it possible for the moon to become larger as I get closer to home? Is it just the desert that makes it so big. Tonight she is the same sallow yellow as our dark sky outdoor lights - the moon casts no glow upon the desert floor.
I am also bone tired of driving 8+ hours for meetings to cities on the coast.
@fatemehx2 Yes agreed. This is where I’m at. Sitting with it, as with all emotions to learn from it. Thanks for the confirmation.
@jdavid Feeling jealousy/envy can occur at the same time as being genuinely happy for others success. That is part of this emotional cocktail I don't want to drink, but keeps being put in front of me.

Got burnt out from travel mis/adventures, event planning, trying to juggle work, life, relationships. Feeling like I have done everything wrong in my life. So baking chicken & going to do my 2019 year in review. I would be more well adjusted if I expected less from myself.
And no, my truck is still not fully recovered from the 20km of Baja wet lake bed driving - and this really stresses me out. How does one clean 6 inches of mud from her undercarriage?! Tried the power washer, guess gonna crawl under her with a wire brush.
@danpape Drove 20 km across it. It was normally a dry lake, but not fully dry. This was my Baja truck adventure from pre-Thanksgiving.
@danpape 🤪😱
Just gonna sit here meditating on pain - thanks meat thermometer I forgot was boiling hot.
The thing with pain (and every other thing) is that it eventually goes away. Faster when you don't run away from it. Impermanence. Even when the bee stings the bottom of your foot.
@chriswinc Thanks Chris.
@pamelarosiedee Thanks for the share Pamela.
@zmolek @w3c @timberners_lee Thanks so much for your kind words and advice. I can't tell you how relieved I am to learn my experience is not unique & many others (that I look up to) have had similar. It gives me renewed energy to try again (at other standards orgs).
@cascio This is the kind of thing people on drugs believe.
I would love someone to research what people believe based on the drugs they take/have taken. My totally non scientific theory is that certain beliefs are more believable from different brain states. And by drugs, I include prescription, OTC, legal and illegal ones.
@zmolek Interesting.... I think I read somewhere that gut bacteria influences brain chemistry, which wouldn't that influence belief? So I might disagree with you that what you eat (which supports different gut flora & body chemistry) *can* influence what you believe. 😊
@zmolek Absolutely agree with the caveats... which is why I'd like someone *else* to do the peer reviewed research. 🤓 I'm just armchair spitballing here.
@Radiskulls Whaaa??? Jellies?
@ElectionBabe Guilty!!!! And so true. (I was thinking of all the NY expats who move to LA and learned all the driving sekrets from The Californians... )
@zmolek Oh no, we are very quickly getting into a conversation about the nature of reality/what we think is reality, and we need to do this over tea sometime IRL! (PS. These are my favorite conversations).
@zmolek PPS. Is it at all possible for technology to help remove the veil of the reality we think we (our minds) believe in?
@zmolek ❤️❤️❤️
@zmolek Right. For a while my conspiracy theory of how T got elected was midwest micro-biome/gut bacteria heavily destroyed by overprescribed pharma (pain killers and antibiotics). Like I said, it was my own personal conspiracy theory that can never be tested.
@KantaraColin @pamelarosiedee @KantaraNews Yes, I'm looking for places to share my knowledge ... had not considered @KantaraNews - my bad. I would love to participate.

Looking for collective wisdom here. Please chime in, thanks --> How do you define success? What does success look like? How does success feel?
@dominicsayers I like that.
@ShibumiKiDo Ok but let’s get both more nuanced and more shallow.
@ShibumiKiDo I absolutely agree, however for the purposes of my inquiry and my clingy "lives in the human world with other humans" mind, it lacks satisfaction.
Maybe I should have clarified, I'm not actually looking for wisdom, I'm looking for practicalness of the various human experiences/definitions of success, because my definition isn't working so great for me.
@SecEvangelism You look great! I like the reflection in your eyes, color combos (shirt-lips & eyes-background). Only improvements IMO, a little more fill light/warm light & I would have straightened hair to not obscure your neck as much. But it's perfect as it. Feel good about it.
One of my 2010 broken cryptocurrency dreams was when we paid the forests for cutting them down. Because they had their own financial node & they had guardians (& their own autonomy). https://twitter.com/umairh/status/1211222725353709568
@evanwolf Your reply caused me to explore the relationship between success and goals. In my mind, they are very different, goals you can achieve, success is something external you can't bestow to oneself. cc @ShibumiKiDo
@ShibumiKiDo It's not so much comparing myself to others, but perhaps the perception of others? can I think I am successful? what is successful to me? These are things I have pondered for years. I have gotten nowhere with the questions or answers. I remain unsatisfied. Hence my inquiry.
@ShibumiKiDo And the goal posts of external success are constantly moving and you can never win. Which is one reason I like to live in the middle of a (magical) desert.
@ShibumiKiDo Our conversations bring me happiness, reflection, and pleasure. I am grateful for you, your insights and your sharing.
@ShibumiKiDo I tend to ask, am I living up to the potential of what I can be? the dreams of my past lives? the history of future ones? I admit, it's a lot of self pressure and I need a time out.

@leegonzales Oh I’ve got the living life in my own terms figured out. Made the switch/sacrifice over a decade ago. It’s not always easy - tho it might look it from the outside.
@TheEmilyDare Belated hugs.
Quiet morning in the Mojave. Put the finishing touches on some speaker abstracts yesterday & today I start my @RSAConference presentation draft. I'm excited to mash-up #security and #foresight with @bobblakley. https://www.rsaconference.com/usa/agenda/imaging-the-future-of-security
I'm seeing people do this decade in review thing, so I thought I'd see what my 2010 goals were (I have done yearly goals since 2004). They are actually general, so I'll share them -- maybe the can inspire you. https://docs.google.com/document/d/18qquSkXGHwlZsiHYR1o7KnSN2MFJICd9fHdbd6FyBYA/edit?usp=sharing
2010 was the year I decided to get my Master's in Foresight and become a legit, card carrying futurist. It's cool to think I've spent 10 years doing foresight work!
And some things never change. I was struggling with what success meant to me then. Maybe that definition a decade ago is as good as any: Success = money + recognition + good product and business relationships.
It's unbelievably hard to make a living getting paid to be a futurist. Businesses don't like to pay for the insights & lots of people think it's cool to give themselves the title of "futurist". But the work/research/projects are the most rewarding of my life.
I wish it was easier to close more of these projects. The world needs the insights, I want to hire more people, the work is fun, relevant & applicable. We would have better businesses, companies, relationships, environments - human life would be better - if we did more foresight.
@livepath Thanks so much Leigh. It's also been too long. Happy Holidays & much <3.
Rest in Power Syd Mead. I had the honor of meeting him IRL a few years ago thanks to @Ruth666, sharing her +1 Holiday invite with me. He gave me the best compliment saying my style looked straight out of his painting. Gratitude for the opportunity to connect. Godspeed.

Anyone who makes a prediction or says some technology makes predictions has no idea how the future works.
@mhbx My own.

@cqwww @derekja Yeah, Kurzweil has no idea how the future works - he's a technologist. He's only about technological linear extrapolation, which can and is regularly disrupted.
@cqwww Those are all opinions and you/they have no control in making them fact. Please read The Art of Conjecture by Bertrand De Jouvenel. You can't make a certainty (prediction/fact) about a subjective reality (the future). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/880530.Art_Of_Conjecture
@PelleB @uport_me @ConsenSys I appreciate your long term support to the decentralized identity vision from way back. Wishing you new adventures in 2020 and beyond!
@cqwww @derekja I stopped listening to him about 8 years ago. I don't know your background, do you have experience doing futures work? It doesn't sound like it. I have a M.S. in foresight, & have done extensive work and research in the space. I'm talking from on the ground extensive experience.
@cqwww @derekja You have an opportunity to learn from experts in the field. Novices & non-experts including the media, tend to parrot amateur views due to simplicity, & the need for our clingy mind that wants certainty about inherently uncertain futures. Things are much more complex.
