on an 80s music trip rn. what are you listening too?

gm ☕️ switched my workout method a few weeks ago to a mike mentzer style heavy duty/high intensity training style. the concept is focused on grow stimulus and a lot of recovery. rather than my normal 2 hour training routine, i spend maybe 30min to an hour lifting as hard and heavy as i can physically take the weight, then rest for roughly 48 to 72 hours before the next session. so that brings my gym time to about 2 to 3 times a week. mentzer’s philosophy behind it is that the grow and development happen during recovery. that the body adapts to stress factors as a way to protect itself, so bringing the work to absolute failure triggers the body to adapt to the threat being simulated during the workout. its an interesting concept. efficient. i dont know if truly effective. with so much rest between training sessions, the test if it works or not is that you are getting stronger. If youre able to do one more rep than before, or you can increase the weight even by a little bit, its working. even though the lift volume is lower, the tracking and quality of the work is higher. and it fits my current life style as a dad. #gymlife #gm #coffeetrain #dadlift

this old post production saying still rings true today: > you can polish a turd all you want, it's still a turd.

been doing a new screen-free life with the kiddo. its a nice experience. but i miss movies. and shows. haven't watched one in a while. i'll do a mindless yt sometimes. but yeah, some days you just wanna go catch a flick and chill. #dadlife

artists barely got paid. most of the time it was barter or a patron would house them. artists are tip of the spear in society, and the least valued. mostly because no one knows how to value them or their work. imagine, a person so talented that they shape societial opinions with a brush stroke... how would you value that?

flight delayed. 4 times. i am Odysseus.

why do we say “im on nostr”? thats like saying “im on smtp” or “im on html”… kind of confusing, no?

gm ☕️ built some apps. made them nostr based signers. saw it as a way to introduce individuals to the idea of keys without talking keys. i use my apps daily. cleaning up repos. hoping to publish by end of month. free and open-sourced.

Ownership in a land of rentals. Dodd-Frank Act says the money you deposit into a bank isnt yours anymore. So, if youre Ok with that, more power to you. You dont hold it, you dont own it. View quoted note →

Whats the ngit site again? Got something to share…

haven't really been social. i stopped going to meetups. stopped hanging out. just home w/ family. i talk and play with my kid. talk with the wife. talk with my siblings and parents. barely interact with individuals outside of that circle. in many ways, its nice. in others, like when you're presenting to people... its awkward. gave a presentation a few weeks ago... first time speaking to a live audience. not a big one. a small one. botched it from jump. tonight, gave a presentation. botched that too. right from the start. never introduced myself. just went straight to the demos. the ideas in my head didn't match what i said... and yeah... being reclusive... i do appreciate just being. not having to talk. not having to say anything. maybe being more reclusive is the key.

i've forgotten how to speak to people.
