To all my fans: Thank you. May the blessed richness of cheesecake envelope you in its sweet embrace. May your notes be wise and beautiful melodies that rise to blanket the earth with abundance. May you ride through life on the sofa that is the breath of divinity. And at the end of every day, may you take a few deep breaths to remember that you are already at the party. To all my h8ters: Thank you. May your Toaster Strudel always turn out a smidge darker than you prefer. May your DND games be dynamic and engaging. May empathy and compassion support and embrace you like a Sleep Number mattress set to the perfect firmness. May freedom and peace accompany you as gentle and comforting reminders that you’re already at the party. To all my ambivalents: What’s up. May your house be blessed with exquisite fine rices from all over the world. May your toothpaste always flow from the tube like slightly softened butter. May your work be strong, thoughtful, and just. And in those moments when you find yourself chasing thoughts through your mind, may you pause to remember that you’re already at the party.

A sovereign life Yesterday I spent the day in the woodshop, which is always a treat. I finished a cold air return grate for a family member and started work on an end table enclosure for our S9 spaceheater. Our goal for the end table is that it looks nice enough to keep in our living room while also serving as a side table. Eventually I plan to build a matching dehydrator that we can connect to the cabinet when we have things we want to preserve. Aesthetic functionality for multiple purposes is the goal. Today I'm beginng work on a cookbook for recipes from the cafe we owned in a previous life. I'm not sure where this will lead, but both Mrs. Bitmeyer and I have been drawn to making something to commemorate that season of our life. It feels good to start excavating those memories again. Bonus: it's snowing. I've never lived in a place with enough snow, so bring it on!

Note to self: Beware of anyone who tries to tell you what you should eat.

A doodle to wish you a happy New Year. #happynewyear #artstr

can confirm: trading coffee I roasted for sats is much more satisfying than trading coffee I roasted for fiat. fiat never feels like enough. I find myself thankful for any sats I stack. think I'll keep doing it.

A breakfast to fuel the revolution. #waffles #coffeechain

Wishing you all a Christmas filled with abundance and joy.

Call it a New Reformation. Call it a Modern Galt’s Gulch. I don't want a fight. Leave me to my sovereignty. And I’ll leave you to yours. View quoted note →

Some of today’s work. It's a tasty Guatemala with nice juicy body and a jammy sweetness with tightly structured acidity on top. I'm getting lots of chocolate, a nice selection of assorted toasted nuts, and dark cherry sweetness, particularly on the finish. I’ll continue to tweak the profile over the next few weeks. Surely, pleasing new flavor sensations will be unleashed.
