Help me out, nostritches. I'm looking for a technology... I want to make a talking head video of myself, TikTok style. But I want to use an avatar. I want to choose that avatar (i.e. upload an image) and the technology will plot the face and map it to my own, and then reflect the movement of my mouth and facial expressions. Does such a tech exist? Surely it does. Help a minstrel out.

Geez, make up your mind already Sweet Pig

Minstrel out here helping people get healthy! View quoted note →

I’m gonna stream again tonight. In about 30 minutes. Rough day. Need to recalibrate the soul. Watch this post if interested. Will put the @vidaislive room in the comments. Doing this for me. But join if you want.

I’ve been dry aging some ribeyes in my fridge for just over a week. Am I a fool? It’s like grilling beef jerky.

Just wrapped up a transcendent conversation with @Steven Lubka brimming with vitality and optimism. Have excess vibes that I need to distribute to other Bitcoiners. Come join me at 8pm and celebrate the spirit of bitcoin with some uplifting beats. I'll be building them in real time. They won't be as good if you're not there. Come be a transjective part of funktastic niche construction, y'all.

I don't think most people want to "be their own bank" That sounds like a lot of responsibility. And a lot of work. It's kinda intimidating. Plus, aren't banks the bad guys? Why would someone want to be the bad guy?

Music is a system of auditory symbols with which we construct a narrative that represents an idea unfolding over time.

Morning thoughts... I’ve taken to a new practice in the mornings: Reading St Augustine via lexia divina. I sit at my favorite chair and pick up where I left off. Reading carefully to ensure I’m consciously taking in every sentence. At some point a phrase usually catches my attention and starts something stirring within my mind or my spirit. And I repeat these words out loud, over and over, playing with the emphasis, relishing and exploring different words with different repetitions. And my mind starts spinning, not out of control, but building on the energy of the phrase and the idea behind it. I project my thoughts outward from the phrase and then speak extemporaneously, exploring and extending the idea. Sometimes I tie it back to my own life and experience, trying to use this phrase to illuminate my past or light a path for my future. But most often I am searching for a higher truth, a grander pattern that suggests “the way things truly are”. This exercise brings me a great sense of peace. Why? Many reasons, I’m sure. One reason is that I’m comforted by a synthesis of understanding. I weave this new phrase—this new idea—into the fabric of my current understanding of the world and so the fabric gains new colors and patterns and becomes richer. Similarly this gives a sense of progress. That the way of the world is increasingly illuminated before me and so, in a sense, I feel my footing more secure as I walk the path, or at least I believe such will be the case after I close the book and start actually walking the path, since in that present moment I’m sitting on my duff. But I also feel something spiritual, what I think many would describe as “closer to God” that I think represents a sense of connection with something greater than you, but not merely that it is greater but that it is also wise and benevolent and truthful. That I am connected to something true, good, and beautiful. And those things (if we can slice them away from experience in such a way) which possess those three characteristics we claim “are the work of God” or “point toward God” or “are filled with God’s grace” and so on. I don't practice formal religion, but I've been on about the idea of God for some time now. Not the metaphysics, but the functional role it plays in the human experience and how it promotes evolutionary fitness. Not to equivocate, but I think Bitcoin is filling a similar role to a degree, for many people, myself included. I don't think "Bitcoin is God" or anything close to it. But it represents a pattern of action(?) that seems to be robust, reliable, and point toward the good. What wisdom might we gain by studying it? What is the spirit of Bitcoin?

So close. Man I love this feeling when it's almost all about to come together. You've found the center and the muse is just pulling you along.

Shill me some bitcoin musicians I should be following.

Time to get some B-T-Sea shanties up on nostr. What’s the best service to use for hosting video content to be shared via nostr? Would prefer something aligned with nostr ethos, eg don’t tell me to just use YouTube Anything decentralized and anonymous? What are the technical or logistical peculiarities I should consider? 🙏🏻
