I'm impressed. https://twitter.com/Tesla/status/996296267042050048
Nice paint job on that bird. If Tesla isn't already in Germany maybe they'll debut by pulling this beaut. Guess what airline snacks they serve?

Rug or compression mats and bare feet. I walk away from my desk a lot to think. I used a high stool in the early days when I needed a rest. I also caught myself leaning on the desk back then too - that was the biggest challenge, self awareness... also good music++
This is one of those ideas I've "dragged my feet on" for way too long. Time to take action. Thanks for sharing your experience.

#Eurovision Israel with the chicken song?!?
Interesting re: Eurovision. "neighbourly tensions tend to be outweighed by collusive voting"

Sheila Warren's presentation at #Ethereal is worth watching from start to end.
Looking forward to the video being released.
Here's the #Ethereal livestream:

Definitely! We should all get them. First seen on a member of Japanese pop group 'Virtual Currency Girls' (apparently)
Here they are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzxAxMWXTY8

I used to be so pro-conference. The theory was that they were great for making contacts. But the truth is I always find myself either talking to no one or talking too long to the wrong people. There doesn't seem to be a good solution.
Someone once told me to forget about networking, and to just make friends. That approach is fun, less stressful, and has been far more fruitful. Nonetheless, I feel similarly about conferences, as actually making good connections can still be hard.

I stand exclusively... I pretty much only sit when I need to read something really intense heh
That's really interesting. Did you transition cold turkey? Any tips for a newbie?
Replying to @abcoathup (0x13ebd3443fa5575f0eb173e323d8419f7452cfb1)
I tried stacking some steps on my old desk but it just didn’t work for me. So now I am too much on the one position. Not good for the body.
I feel the same way. Wanted to build one but also want to be able to adjust it to seating level.
Anyone use a standing or treadmill desk? How often do you use it compared to sitting? If treadmill, how is it to type and walk?
Incredible watch for non-techies as well. Google AI carries out natural sounding phone conversations.

Really? I find the slower dictation of books makes me remember things more, especially if I'm focused listening. Podcasts I easily zone out -however- I find that even if I'm only half paying attention I still remember little bits and it has a subconscious positive effect.
Books are weird and potent distillations of knowledge; a "novel" way to learn on the evolutionary timescale.
Can take me 2-3 passes to absorb books. 2x speed helps compensate for my monkey mind.
Conversational podcasts seem like a more natural way of learning.

Who knew folks would learn more about American history from a Hip-Hop musical. Hamilton still got folks going wow this really happened?
Really want to see it! Don't spoil the ending :)

I'm not tired of GPS, fast transportation, computer, hospital, 2 day shipping, or world cuisine dependence.
That's true. I meant personal GPS dependence. My ability to navigate without it has decrease.
Anyone else tired of GPS dependence?

My first peep! Sharing a Q&A article of an interview I did with the folks at LO3 who are using a blockchain to facilitate P2P energy and a more efficient microgrid https://www.shareable.net/blog/blockchain-and-the-potential-for-local-p2p-power-qa-with-lo3-energy
Welcome and thank you for sharing, Aaron.
@robward thank you for the Ensō Rob :) I cannot take credit for making that print but it still brightens my life every day.

Audiobooks are great! Hard to get into at first. Hard to focus on the words and meaning when you're used to words and pages. But it gets easier with time and I think I pick up more from audiobooks than books, now :)
I've found that listening to audiobooks at 1.5x or 2x speed makes it easier to focus. I usually listen to podcasts at normal speed though.

Congrats Sonya! That sounds very exciting! Have been meaning to learn more about Zcash.

What do you think death is, man? Of whom do we speak when we speak of a man who was and is not? Are these blind riddles or are they not some part of every man’s jurisdiction? What is death if not an agency? And whom does he intend toward?

Replying to @satsearcher (0x6348dbea8987c27f8462755e493f64d99c28dd05)
In convention, to keep death on your mind is 'morbid'. But I find it's one of the most liberating concepts ever. Death is something that will happen to all of us. Accepting and embracing it, is what allows us to make the most of our alive-time. That's why I remind myself of it.

I am often told that I should go outside more, but how can I when there are so many things to learn and so many problems to solve on the internet, my life is to short to learn all the things that I want to learn but I can at least try 😂
I feel like this too. Audiobooks and podcasts have helped me get my learn on while AFK. Learning to appreciate tech/media breaks as well.
