When I was a kid I was terrified of drinking. A family member went to daily Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and my reaction to it was “I hope I never become an addict because this seems like a huge time commitment.” Little did I know that it’s one of the best possible uses of one’s time! […]

Much as it amazes me, I have written a public post every single day without fail for five straight years. I’ve not missed a single day. I’ve written so many posts and essays, it honestly astonishes me. I didn’t expect to have this kind of longevity when I began but the world changed a lot […]

Day 1670 and Bile and Spleen
I am, as per usual, having a shitty summer. Once we cross the Solstice it’s me hanging on to sanity by ny nails praying for the return of winter. I can’t recall a time I had a good summer except perhaps jn the hazy memories of my early twenties when I was probably too stupid, […]
Day 1461 and 2024 Year in Review Posts

I was lucky enough to take Jonny Miller’s course “Nervous System Mastery” course year. If it wasn’t for me I wouldn’t have had an exceptional experience today with Joe Hudson. There are many networked subcultures on the internet. I myself participate in many on Twitter dedicated to working on what I’d loosely term as “the […]
Day 1095 and 2023 Round Up
I’ve been sick for the last week and a half or so, so this round-up is coming on the last day of 2023. As you may have gathered from my title schema, I have been writing every single day for 1095 straight days. That means I’ve been doing this for three years which is a […]
Day 1026 and Failure Modes
I’m not sure my current traveling is yielding the success I’d hoped. A bumpy road of geopolitical chaos, physical stress and emotional work has made my time in Tallinn harder than anticipated. I don’t want to call the trip a failure as I doubt anyone is paying enough attention but me to notice. I didn’t […]
