I want to interview and learn from so many people on nostr. The lifestyles (homesteading, natural, health focused) and mindsets are well aligned with the life I want to live. I want to befriend you people and document it. I plan to reach out to so many of you in the near future and I hope to connect with, learn from, develop a greater community with y’all. Heart emoji

I got accepted to a PhD program at my dream school! I am pleased to feel a sense of relief about securing a medium-term future for myself. But still doubtful about whether it will be the best path. I tend to hold a pretty negative view about the ability of colleges to truly educate a person. It’s good news though! We will see what happens, and I know what is good will come!

There was a year when I was in high school that I picked a different path for myself. A different school model. It didn’t work out as expected and turned out to be the busiest and most stressful time of my life to that point. From wake to sleep I was busy every day with school work. I am grateful for that year. I unlocked a new understanding of what I am capable of. There was a clarity of mind I associate with that time as well. I was thoughtful about what I wanted for myself and took action towards it. As embarrassing as this is to admit, I have not kept that same clarity of mind, directionality, and consistent action. Life changes and distractions come into play. I can forgive myself for this, I am young and still learning. I’ve recently noticed myself entering a period similar to that time. I spend considerable time every day doing work with my future in mind. I am pushing myself where I haven’t been in the past. It may be some time before I am the person I aim to be, and perhaps more time until I’ve achieved the future I envision for myself. But I making progress and good things will inevitably come.

The reason I can’t work on this project for the time being is because I need to find a job. If any of y’all have a job for me in the Houston area, please do reach out. View quoted note →

Hey all, I’m excited to share something I’m working on. It is a scientific research journal built on nostr. I think nostr is the perfect architecture to build something that does research publishing better than what is the standard right now. To name a few key things I envision with this project: 1. Research accessible by anyone. Scientific knowledge should not be restricted to a select few. This is not to say that there isn’t value in expertise, but to say that there is also value in diversity of thought that can only come from those who were not educated in the same system as many experts. 2. Comments can be left to explain, criticize, suggest research ideas to a specific part of a paper using highlights. 3. Research moves faster because it is cheaper and easier to publish, and becuase more people can interact with it. I’ve had this project in mind for quite a while, practically since I first learned about nostr. I don’t know how to code though. So this project is my first real foray into vibe coding. That being said, this project barely works when I use it, and likely won’t work when you try it. Further, it is currently a very limited version of what I believe a research journal built on nostr can be. I am posting this, in part, as a bookmark. I have other priorities right now and will not continue working on this project at least until January. I do plan to return to it and make it something great. I really do believe in it. I hope to continue building and sharing my vision for this, and I hope to talk more with you all about it. I know many of you have some serious developer/nostr wisdom that I want to make use of. I’ve built a client that you can access here: It currently has a lot of papers I published while building and testing different features. Please excuse that mess. I also built an associated relay: wss://nostr-research-relay.duckdns.org

Telling my brother about nostr. I said “anyone can run a relay” He says “quadriplegics can’t run a relay” Fair point.
