@richardchen39 Hahah. Like any VC is gonna stick around and support a values based entrepreneur! All that crew is in it for the money, cash, hos- not to actually change the world.
TFW @deadmau5 comes on your @pandoramusic station.

Editing from 300 words to 60 is a practice in cutting all your favorite sentences and paragraphs and descriptors. A bloodbath for clarity. #amwriting

Drinking coffee with caffeine for the second time in a month. Let's see how this morning goes.

@RuffTimo @trbouma I wish you luck and heavy armor.

The Moore's Law view is interesting for sure, but what I am most curious about is the alternating extremes: years of wet/dry, heat/cold, and the fire variable dancing between them. Climate Change is about experiencing more extremes, and not in a good way. https://twitter.com/edgarrmcgregor/status/1567544711325577217
Last hurricane that hit the Mojave resulted in the super bloom the following season. I know I shouldn't be happy for extreme weather, but I am looking forward to some rain, if it actually falls overhead. It's been a dry couple years. https://twitter.com/Weather_West/status/1567635582058397697
@EmLindley Thanks Em!
OK, so I clearly tweet more on caffeine.
I think this is why I have so many feelings about this turn of events. Despite not really following/caring about Royalty, seeing a woman in the highest position in a country I always looked up to was something. The glass ceiling remains strong in the US. https://twitter.com/Cruftbox/status/1568067021442805762

Hurricane weather in the Mojave is gardening weather.

Loving this rainy overcast day, did some more gardening in the morning and it's finally cool enough to bake pears from my tree.
Clearly these are baking pears!
I made a film showing this use case in 2011, but with an electric motorcycle. https://twitter.com/77MichaelR/status/1569099253733101571
@SeanRiceaz Yup, I've seen it in there too. But also, my short pre-dates their doing this. There was not much of a concept of a non-human sharing data about themselves around a transaction.
Why tf is everyone hiking the Dolomites? Was there some travel zoo deal I missed out on?
It was so much fun! And I didn’t get COVID! https://twitter.com/storj/status/1570112144192028677
I recently rediscovered computer solitaire. In the past month or so, I have reached level 89 not even really trying. I guess this is my superpower.

The coolness from the open doors and windows, after almost 4 months of 100+ degree heat. The Mojave is liveable again.
@CarGuyDad Gorgeous!!
I'm cool with more hurricanes in the Mojave. #forceofnature https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-09-12/tropical-storm-kay-satellite-photo-southern-california-noaa
How am I just not doing a full album listen through of Enter the Kettle?! So good! TY Alex Patterson @Orbinfo.
image@swardley Would love to have a longer conversation with you about decentralized leadership. Did a talk about this at #dweb last month. Limits of the system, chaos & order, relinquishing control, do-ocracy, the TAZ (temporary autonomous zone), flexible borders, alteregos, loose structures.
image@swardley I have a lot of examples, styles and even a case study of applying these when I worked for Innotribe at Swift with wild success. :-)
Those days are gone forever, over a long time ago. #lyricsgame
@codenamedmitri @OR13b That's always what they say at the start!
@spybrary I think it's good to put context around why it didn't work for you. It might be good for someone else. If it's just wrong or inaccurate, state that. I would also try to find something good to focus on. Short and dispassionate.
YES!! --> "As a result, I believe Web3 should be defined as “the movement to improve the internet’s UX, including for — but not limited to — security, privacy, control, sovereignty, and economics." Fantastic blog by my @storj colleague @anzix. https://www.docker.com/blog/clarifying-misconceptions-about-web3-and-its-relevance-with-docker/
This is part of a broader perspective we have at Storj about web3, what is it and the role it can play. It's not about particular technology. It's a way to use the best of what we have to improve things.
Update, level 100. How high does it go?
Be careful what you wish for. Apparently I am now teaching a VHR good neighbor course. Let's see, can I cram systems thinking and our regulations into 2 hours?

OMG, I'm dying, I found my original strategic plan for increasing diversity and inclusion at the CCG. What a naive fool I was.
"The characteristics of successful diversity plans are straightforward but challenging to get right because it requires structural changes and money - like putting diverse people in positions of leadership, paying them, giving them resources and protecting them." -me
Maybe someday standards will become more inclusive - but until then, we can dream!
Also found a chapter of a book I wrote a couple years ago, and you know what, it's pretty great. I should finish that book. (Yes, I am using my own archives for research.)
"It is important that diverse participants are successful, however I am skeptical we can provide a successful environment today prior to taking a long hard look at our inclusivity situation. Is it fair to recruit diverse people into our community if they can’t be successful?"-me
"Inclusion is in some ways more important than diversity. If your community is not inclusive, you will have this cycle of recruiting diverse participants, but them not being successful and thus leaving."-me
"This has a negative impact on diversity and inclusion long term, burning out diverse populations and a track record of failed diversity activities by leadership. Some of us have witnessed this in various community activities/events." -me to myself in this document
@KateRoseBee OMG! So good.
In the future, every extreme climate event will have its 15 minutes of fame.
The age of climate change is the age of climate porn. Instead of trying to mitigate increasing extreme climate events, we're just going to Instagram, storm chase, weatherchannel livestream and meme them.

@Steve_Lockstep @MarcHochstein @dgwbirch @kthome219 @IdentityWoman @mayazi @lcdavis1225 +1, I'll gift you some questions from a recent panel I moderated: 1. Is all centralization bad? 2. Is all decentralization good? And this term coined by @brianbehlendorf of "Minimum viable centralization" or MVC.

@AlexLangeVC @richardchen39 Names and receipts please. Thank you.
@AlexLangeVC @richardchen39 Oh maybe you are referring to yourself? If so, do you think you are representative of the typical VC who is unapologetically in it for the money?
Heading into the weekend like... because I'm planning to work without meetings interrupting my flow.

@Cruftbox How does one keep the calm serenity through the shitshow? I have been struggling. (or is it just good weekend dinners?)
