Painting is a discovery of the self. Every good artist paints what he is. - Jackson Pollock

Pearl of the Day Objects and people are the interface through which consciousness encounters the immense complexity of matter, just as icons are the interface through which the user encounters the immense complexity of software.

How many new users have signed up to Nostr since Derek and Odell returned to Twitter? Just out of curiosity.

Many artists, myself included, struggle because they feel they have to pretend that money doesn’t matter. In reality, it certainly does matter when you have to pay the rent or buy paints.

Perhaps I’m only being too naive artist, but I don’t understand this. If an AI model is really too dangerous for use by foreigners, why would it be safe for the citizens of the country that develops it?

Oil on board - June, 2026

Proof-of-work...in progress ASCENT, second pass. Working by subtraction is paying off — the dark areas hold, the light emerges where it should. It's getting close to what I had in mind. But something is still missing. That touch that gives it a soul. There will be a third pass.

When a client tries to be everything to everyone, it often ends up not really excelling at anything. In the Nostr world, this risk is even more evident. A client that wants to be a social network, wallet, marketplace, chat, blog, streaming service, identity manager and a thousand other things all at once can become: - complex to understand - cumbersome to use - difficult to maintain - confusing in its purpose. Users usually arrive with a specific need: to read notes, chat, manage zaps, write articles, follow people. If, to do something simple, they have to navigate through ten features they’ll never use, they often give up. That’s why many of the most popular products have a clear identity: they do a few things, but they do them well. In an open ecosystem like Nostr, specialisation is often more valuable than a pile of features, because protocols and standards allow different tools to work together without any one of them having to do everything. Got it, Amethyst? 🤌

One day you’ll realise that slowing down to savour what you’re experiencing is what life is all about.

One day you’ll realise that coming home, sitting down and eating a meal your wife has cooked is all you need in life.
