  1. Truly annoyed at this teasing thunderstorm. Yes there is a dark cloud over my house, thunder and storm down the rain damn it already!

  2. In other news, I made cucumber sandwiches for tea time to help finish up the last pieces of the Victoria Sponge. Hey, if I want high tea in the hi-desert, I have to make it myself! #pinkyup

  3. It's raining. I have tea. I am happy.

  4. Wearing my @storj hat to share some of the things we're bringing to #Dwebcamp2022 and some of the conversations we (@rosiepongracz @just_peekn @kristaxox_) want to have with you there! #solar #pilot #decentralizedleadership #ambientmusic #policy #web3 #storagelayer #future https://twitter.com/internetarchive/status/1554361302671192065

  5. You know what's interesting about this list? We've been involved since early SSI days & many are now at robust orgs. SSI isn't fringe technology anymore. The road to broad adoption remains long & there are many new people who recently joined us in paving the SSI path mainstream. https://twitter.com/Hyperledger/status/1554528799445893122

  7. I think this is actually good. US capitalism has its own unintended consequences. US private sector has a lot to learn from Europe and China. https://twitter.com/mikko/status/1554814537857122304

  8. China wants to be US and Russia wants to destroy US. We’re seeing these strategies play out with the 2050 strategy and infowar. https://twitter.com/mikko/status/1554814536124956674

  9. Sometimes I really hate my writers mind (& the rabbit holes I get stuck in).

  10. @rileyphughes I used to drink a morning chocolate beverage that I made myself with cocoa powder, water and splash of half and half. Imagine cocoa made like matcha. Zing!!!

  11. Beach hair, don’t care. Cali 4 life.

  13. Spent the afternoon reading an investing book utilizing foresight techniques and I have faith in the world again. To be able to imagine a world where the possibilities of the future can bloom from our current world is a gift.

    August 8, 2022

  14. The self loathing of a writer. Delete all the words and the page is unstained again. (And my deadline still unmet.)

  17. @Actiongrl Love this!

  18. I'm always impressed by JK's bass players. Seriously sick riffs - music to my ears! All that funk with disco strings.

    August 10, 2022

  19. @NikolasFuturist Tony is OG metaverse. You'd be good to listen to him, especially if your gut says he is wrong. All those points make perfect sense to me. But maybe you have to have already gone down that rabbit hole. (Disclaimer I worked for him in the 90s at one of the first web 3d companies.)

  20. @NikolasFuturist Metaverse is to Internet as virtual worlds are to websites.

  21. I'm so tired of New Yorkers California-splaining.

  22. What a dream, a Tuesday with one meeting before noon.

    August 16, 2022

  23. Twitter thinks I've had a child (targeted ads), and maybe I have, but it's really my work that is taking my time away from twitter. And I'm ok with that.

  24. Yesssss! Poster dog for the Association for Skeletal Awareness! https://twitter.com/TG22110/status/1559376530303860736

  25. Sometimes your afternoon snack is prosecco and cookies, especially when it's at 5:45.

  27. @NikolasFuturist Go read Jamie Burke's paper on it from earlier this year.

  28. David Allen (@gtdguy)'s GTD has served me well for over 15 years. Software systems come and go, but I've always got my trusty lists & weekly check-ins. These days, I use gdocs & Scrivener. It's how I keep forward momentum & execution on my literally 6 pages of todos each week.

  29. @LALeVasseur Who is that happy happy one?

  30. @n3rd1ty 250 words is a lot! Try writing it in 100, and then add the most important stuff back in. (Or take a break and let your brain focus or not-focus elsewhere.) You can do it!

  34. Prepping for a talk next week, looking for raw material in my files, I found an unfinished book proposal and notes/rough edit of a sci-fi story, both more than a decade old.

  35. @garrygolden like I could go back in time and give myself advice to give less fucks and do more.

  38. @CarGuyDad That road is pretty basic dirt. Nothing exciting IIRC, but you're not there for the road are you? The scenery is amazing! (We did it in a new x5 no problemo.)

    August 22, 2022 · reply to @CarGuyDad

  39. @kristinayasuda Wow, that seems rather harsh. I just shepherded four co-authors of a really innovative security paradigm to improve their paper, which included some pretty bad typos at first read. You never know what battles others are fighting, but you can always choose to be kind.

    August 23, 2022 · reply to @kristinayasuda

  40. @kristinayasuda Indeed. And I have no context of the paper of which you lament.

  41. @selfissued @kristinayasuda Oh Mike, is there no room for forgiveness in your philosophy!! I know you're kinder than that!

  42. @trbouma @selfissued @kristinayasuda Hahah. Have you ever written a book?!?!

    August 23, 2022 · reply to @trbouma

  43. @trbouma @selfissued @kristinayasuda You can have a whole team of proofers that will miss that one that squeeks through to the published book!

  44. @trbouma @selfissued @kristinayasuda And none of them introduced any new ones? Lucky you!

  45. @darrello @trbouma @selfissued @kristinayasuda Clearly Tim’s are better because he has no typos!
