The psychology of breaking out.

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

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.

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.

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.

Funny how progress requires both reaching and letting go.

Today's small notion: not feeling a need to escape implies you've already arrived.

Lots of pet pics on Bluesky. As I migrate over here it feels right to bring Bro the cat with me.

Bro started life as a street cat In Bali and ended up owning a condo and two humans. We lost him in March and I still need to remind myself regularly that 17 years was a good run.
