First day in Bangkok was good. Thai culture is complex and nuanced. From the use of patterns to the way the language is used. It’s not all parties and beaches but that is a part of it. Kao San Road area more foreigners than locals

What happens next?

The Castle isn’t for you

If you've every played the greatest cardgame in the world - you know it's shithead. https://shitheads.lovable.app

Built a nostr client based on Google+ https://gnostr.lovable.app if you want to try it out. Appreciate any bug reports.

The crazy thing about the contents of the new house is clearly it was swept for random money, jewelry, valuables. I’ve done dozens of cleanouts and this one the cleanest. This is the painting i am working on.

I’ve been working on the new house. Not enough time before I leave. Had to smash a waterlogged cedar set of drawers today. Drawers filled with ice. Baffles the mind. Rescues around 25 kimono out of it. Previous owners did an epic $$ sweep.

So far, I have deleted twenty-five apps from my phone. More to come. I am still using web versions of some of them but transitioning to not using. I am using distributed and federated social media and creating my own aggregators. Try it out

I don’t agree with everything I see here but I love the chaotic freedom of it all

Attaching this week's letter from exile. The melt off then the refreeze has created sheets of ice here, hard to get around on. Fun time on the mountain done. If you haven't looked at the treasure I dropped in The Library in The Village -do!

I don’t think it’s WWIII. Even if it is, the best thing you can do is make where you are ac better place.

A 1980s snapshot of the family who built and lived in my Japanese house. Recovered from a camera I found here. I developed the film today. In other news, mySanta beard is gone. Feels like winter is done here. Looking forward to what’s next

I hope people take a moment to go into The Village and check out the groups there. I need to see if they function well. Plus they are cool. I implemented NOSTR ifrntity but only for myself so far. It’s cool but not sure if others want

Can someone zap me so I can confirm it works?

I vibe coded my own client for nostr based on google+. WIP https://gnostr.lovable.app

This second winter in Hokkaido is so different than the first. The sudden weather change from blizzard to melt to blizzard is psychologically jarring. Not as cold but less enjoyable. I am looking forward to Thailand and Spring. on Xcrol.com

Looking for great accounts to follow on Nostr. My interests are #writing #digitalnomad #collaborativestorytelling #collaborativecreation #networkstates (the concept but in a different sense than Balaji) #digitalliberation (getting away from big tech) - I'm also a geek about AI and building in public and I like to #snowboard - Suggestions?

Data sovereignty with xcrol.com https://www.loom.com/share/6b15f160bad843cc99943ba9c7874d5c

What I've been laboriously putting together to save the world through social connections is https://www.xcrol.com Granular friendships/trust + real world connection + limited daily interaction in the feed. Leverages existing platforms while bringing self sovereignty. Plugged NOSTR into it last night - just one way for now. Open for beta testers. Small community of about 70 people right now.

I wanted to set up my small social network to use NOSTR but I kept running into a situation where Cloudflare was a necessity. I don't know why I hate cloudflare but it could have something to do with all the NWO types who sit on the board of it.
