The psychology of breaking out.

Sabbatical encourager. Good listener. Pre-digital nomad. Digital expat. Bali beach walker.

First impression: Bluesky feels like hope.
Comical.

We're living in a time of total dominance in chess.

He's always near the top, and it seems more often than not he just wins, even in a field of thousands.

The only question left: Is he the best ever?

Only 1 other guy is in the running.

Any remaining doubt dissolves as the years go by.

Grateful for Kzu restaurant, Kerobokan Bali: avocado, broccoli, lentil, kidney bean, shredded carrot/beetroot. Favorite Bali brekkie, 6x/week.

Don't let the bastards get you down.

And if they make it more painful to care, care anyway.

Attempted to shoo the fly on my screen away with my cursor. Break time.

Wrangling my expat deprivations.

2.2 lbs of honey direct from a gentleman sitting in his apiary in the hills of Central Java, TikTok livestreaming to several hundred people at a time. US$9.76 delivered.

Before you get too sad about the cruel world 'not caring', remember the jackpot corollary:

No one is stopping you.

Some of the most interesting places won’t let you bring your comfort zone.

All my SOPs need a re-think. Wildness.

Just give LLMs instructions for tasks they perform in their browsers, rather than setting up automations, which you'd never do for one-off tasks.

And it's the one-off, long-tail tasks that are the time sucks.

Mark Cuban posted a TikTok video that he wants to support or invest in somebody who creates a TikTok replacement built on the bluesky AT protocol.

Note to self:

Don't confuse comfortable routine with genuine, effective self-care.

Old life path: retire at ~62 and (I guess) talk about the past.

Working longer than that was somehow failing.

Today it's to do interesting things you don't want to stop doing and think about the future.

I drank to see what would happen. Quit for the same reason.

It's my incredibly painful shoulder injury from taking off my shirt and I'll blame it on stupidity rather than aging if I want to.

Is there a better way to get clarity & perspective on your life than a long talk with a kindred spirit generously sharing their full attention?

Indonesian 'jastip' in Bangkok malls TikTok live streaming for zero- inventory influencer ecom. Sales to Indonesians, fulfilled via WhatsApp & bank transfer in real time. Pratunam shippers send items back to Indonesia. Zero-risk retail arbitrage on steroids. The shopkeeper couldn't be happier.
