All years

  1. Oh NBD, I am writing a course over the weekend/today. Reminds me of when I wrote a 30 part economics course in a week. (It's the economic course I wish existed & you bet it included systems thinking, prisoners dilemma & emerging economic models.)

  2. Update: just cracked level 147, not even trying. How high does it go?

  3. @Actiongrl Totally agree. Going mostly natural after decades of punk color while the rest of the world goes punk color feels subversive counterculture - but no one knows!

  4. Sorry not sorry, but Bad Romance will always be Putins theme song for me. Every time I read about whatever crazy new development, b-b-b-bad romance fatal attraction gets stuck in my head again.

  5. @hacks4pancakes Hello, can I send you some clothes that no longer fit me that might match your aesthetic? PS. that dress is AMAZING! Rock it!

  6. Fall in the Mojave is the right time for an Aperol Spritz. Also good with multiple gnarly spreadsheets.

  7. IDK what is going on, but I just banged through the rest of today's todos and some of next week's in like 2 hours.

  12. So much tempting thunder, but where is the downpour???

    October 11, 2022

  13. I am pissed at the tourists ruining my finally cool desert night by burning wood upwind.

    October 12, 2022

  14. Surprise thunderstorm in the Mojave. Even better that I am done with meetings for the day.

  15. Reading about putin and sound track is always, Lady Gaga. Do I dream of a day when I can go clubbing in geopolitical bliss.

  17. Q: Who are these clowns that think rural desert neighborhoods are for campfires, spotlights all over your property and band practice? A: Code enforcement will find out.

  18. ps. Your new neighbor (cause you are clearly new to the neighborhood) is a government-regulation loving ex-libertarian.

  20. DAOs take note. "It’s now apparent that despite global integration, there are still dangerous bad actors out there — and interdependence sometimes empowers these bad actors." https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/13/opinion/china-tech-trade-biden.html ps, "interdependence" is why I became an ex-libertarian gov regulation fan.

  21. Key point here: "civil-military fusion." There is no private-public sector division in China. Imagine if every private sector innovation from Silicon Valley & the US & US competitors/collaborators went straight to the US Military/Darpa/etc etc. https://twitter.com/jordanschnyc/status/1580683602937131009

  23. If you are quoted in an article, they should at least not paywall you.

  24. The news is out. Yes, I watch South Korea as an emerging global leader. And it's not just k-pop culture trends. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-16/south-korea-aims-to-boost-economy-with-digital-id-on-blockchain?leadSource=uverify%20wall & https://www.biometricupdate.com/202210/koreas-out-front-with-digital-ids-but-national-history-could-be-decisive-in-success

  25. I think hyper individualistic unUnited States has a lot to learn from the Asian collective identity, but I'm not holding my breath. Braiding two extremes into a middle way is the path forward IMO.

  26. Well today was a pretty shitty day. But at least I saw the best personalized license plate "Ennuigo."
