Wow, today marks 6 years of vegetarianism for me. It started as a 1 month trial, then a 6 month trial… I am definitely turned off meat after all these years. However, I have learned how to eat so many more interesting foods. 🙌 Appreciative.

Yup! Tetris was the best. Can’t stand playing it on my phone without a d-pad. I was at uni in Kyoto so I got Zelda to “study Japanese”. That is how I know the word 洞窟 so well! 😅

I had a Commodore64 and Atari 2600, both handmedowns but I don’t remember which I got first. First console I bought was a SNES at 12 (I won the local Bingo). I bought a colour GameBoy at Uni, and that was the last console I got until I had kids and got them a Switch.

The Camus quote from this piece:
“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”

Impressive interview of Alexander Berzin by @wisdompubs. Imagine traveling behind the Iron Curtain in the 80s to teach Buddhism?! I would LOVE to read an account of his travels.

#NowReading2021 Just finished “Range” by David Epstein, while shovelling my driveway. We’ve had about 25cm.

Such a weird mood… went into the living room and just started randomly watching analyses of Godard’s “Breathless” on YouTube. It is 2am. 🤷♀️ What is this ennui? I need to go to bed 😴

Scale, maybe? For example IPFS is p2p storage. Like BitTorrent, it needs “seeders” to grow the network. Later they created FileCoin on top to incentivize more storage and uptime.
(I am still cautiously learning about this. I note that some web3 critics seem okay with IPFS)
