2023-04-09 02:55:48Howdy y'all,
This is the Ramble #001
I was gifted extra spare time (layoffs), and I'm excited to put it into learning about some of the new exciting things swirling around us at an ever-accelerating speed & also about the good old ever-useful manual skills, which are disappearing almost at the same rate.
The focus will be on anti-fragility tools and skills. I'll be touching on the the topics of Nostr, AI, Bitcoin, Privacy and self-sufficiency skills like woodworking or food production. I'll include any building just for the sake of it (I get more value myself and motivation to do more of it if I can show off something tangible, I guess). It's not gonna be the most frontier-breaking r0ckstar knowledge, but it will humbly keep moving forward one step at the time along with my selfish pursuit of improving my knowledge and skills along these vectors. I also won't avoid some rants about the insane corruption in our Money and all the downstream problems it brings.
Why?
1. Why having a blog? * I want to practice my writing. Not to challenge the AI, but just to better remember the learnings, and to clarify & structure my thoughts. * The public record forces accountability on me. I want to commit to a habit of writing a few posts per week.
2. Why it's on Nostr? * When dozens of the smartest and most honest individuals I respect flock to this like a bunch of crazy birds, it's something I don't want to miss out on, and I want to get intimately familiar with the tech. * It's an uncensorable protocol that allows you to own your data and can re-architect many broken things on the current web. * Easy for me to push my tip jar in y'alls faces and see if anyone gets any real value out of this * And, I just wanted to play with it. Some clients still might be buggy, but the speed of development and improvements is lightning miles away from anything I've seen before.
I'll probably write some intro to NOSTR next time around; but in the meantime Gigi will help you out at nostr-resources.com
3. Why including the offline skills and tools? * Humans are not meant to stare into screens all day. * I see there's one of the most competitive edges for the next 10 years.
And, that's about it. I'm really excited about days and weeks, and will have some fun. If you have read all down here, thank you and PV to you!
