…“Being Awesome”
I’m totally going to start using that!

it works on so many levels!

Two weakly-expressed terms online which I am going to take over and add to my armada of verbal weapons for the cultivation of good times and awesomeness…
Personal science is the perfection of the self. Party science is the perfection of people together.
Our methods are:
- Self-Mastery
– Intent/Action Harmony
- Shared Value Communities
– Mutually Inspired Abundance
– Mutual […]

Feel free to make a bunch of money off this idea if you can find a way to make it work:
Collect old stereo equipment from thrift stores that is suitably cool and retro looking. And then modify them, putting ipods or other mp3 devices inside them and sell them for more. You’d have to market […]

“You can’t wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.”
Excellent hanging with you guys yesterday.

Love that word!

Numismatics (Lat. numisma, nomisma, a coin; from the Greek, derived from voµi eiv, to use according to law), is the scientific study of currency and its history in all its varied forms. While numismatists are often characterized as students or collectors of coins, the discipline also includes a much larger study of payment […]

It’s a micropayment system. We’ll see if it has any impact at all. Anybody out there already using it? I want to find a lot of different small revenue streams for my website. That seems to be the best way to make money online: any which way - and have a bunch of them running […]

I walked by a coffee shop last night by the U District. Inside was a dude sitting behind a keyboard, and a bunch of people facing him, watching him play and sing.
And it struck me what performance really is: it’s an invitation for other people to look at you. You’re giving people permission to […]

Seems like every time I’m hanging out with a group of friends at somebody’s house now, there is a computer present. Either mp3s will be playing, or videos from YouTube or people will look up random shit on YouTube or something.
And it strikes me just how poorly equipped the modern computer is as far […]

A computer is not a thing: it is a metaphor for a way of relating to information which has been made concrete through an object with certain characteristics.
Re-envision the computer as a metaphor only, and look at what it really stands for and what it means, then you can look at how to change […]

Make decisions not justifications.
Don’t waste everybody’s time cooking up reasons why you should or shouldn’t do something. Just do it and let the reasons fall into place (or not) after the fact.
There’s a passage in the Hagakure where it is said that a samurai should be able to make a decision within the […]

We were talking about this last night: did you used to read dictionaries or encyclopedias as a kid? It used to be totally uncool, but now it rules, thanks to Wikipedia (literally the only “cause” I have donated money to). I was wondering if there’s as heavy a link between nerdism and “ADD” as there […]

I just think that’s a cool title.

what what?

I used to work at a dog daycare place: basically a big room where I would run around with a pack of dogs and play ball and stuff with them. It was an awesome job and I learned a hell of a lot in a short time doing it. Been thinking back to something my […]

So this is my final day in Seattle. I’m heading back to the East Coast for a while to “work on my game” with a friend of mine who is a professional strategist. It’s been amazing and everyone I met here is totally awesome. I’ll be back in some form or another (with bells on) […]
