When my relatives from Denmark come over to tour the US, they always remark on how VAST this place is. We spent the day in a park — one park — that covers about 15% of the land of the entire country of

It is good to get out and about, sometimes!

Congratulations on getting involved in the fine art of golf! Well, yes... because it is about as much an "art" as it is a "game." Watching this makes me want to dust off my clubs and

Doesn't that coincide with that massively botched HF where the blockchain was inaccessible for several days and (as I recall) was mired down in replays? There was also an occasion on which the rewards

The anthropology of societies can be fascinating, to be sure. Somewhere in there, it seems almost inevitable that we will run into someone(s) who throw up their hands and declare "I'm tired of doing

One of the things I observe a lot in the world as it currently exists is that a lot of people become very focused on changing others; on changing "out there," while remaining completely oblivious

In some ways reminds me a little of Burning Man... which is often pitched as a "utopic experiment."

Yes, you could be right! Funny!

Hi Iris, thanks for stopping by, and for your thoughtful comment. Power, status and money never did it for me, either... and I seem to lack that "ambition gene" that seems to drive a lot of people,

That's exciting news! I was playing around with the new PalNet front end earlier today (before reading this post) and it's very slick... the look and feel is basically a cross between LeoFinance and PeakD;

I'm inclined to agree. Danish culture — to which I am native, although I no longer live there — is similar to Japanese, in many ways. I talk a lot with my relatives over there, and we have very different

Part of the problem, isn't it? A lot of people don't want the facts to be facts so they choose to exist their existence. And that seems to happen everywhere, regardless of people's politics, religion,

What I find particularly encouraging about it is the super high trading volume supporting it... always a good sign. $824M traded in the past 24 hours! I expect it'll back off a bit, but likely we'll be

I do sadly watch a lot of people putting a lot of "effort" into what basically amounts to the pursuit of "money for nothing." I'd rather just do my little bit every day and see where

One of the things I was taught a long time ago is that just "showing up every day" can be a large part of building success. Steadiness over bursts of brilliance mixed with periods of nothing.

"Small goals" have long been my friend, Joan... I much prefer to only chew off as much as I am pretty certain I can chew. And that's why I am setting this pretty small and methodical goal for

I am smiling to myself because you have — for such a long time — been talking about how this is a long term game. Seems like those chickens are increasingly coming home to roost! More and more people will
