A few inquiries lately so figured it was time for a check in / update. As I’ve noted in pervious years – where I am, specifically the weather where I am, has a shaping influence on the basic set up. I’ve been living in Vancouver now for going on 4 years which is much cooler… Continue reading Personal Uniform Update 2024

Personal Uniform Update 2022
Recently Boris asked me if I had any updates to my Personal Uniform. Longtime readers will know that for more than a decade now I’ve endorsed a kind of “find one thing you like a buy a bunch of them so you don’t need to think about what to wear” policy which I call a… Continue reading Personal Uniform Update 2022
The Crowd: Aprils Fool [253]
Hi Crowd! This photo was taken during an unexpectedly flooded visit to Jericho Beach in during peak Covid. In many ways the world felt upside down and the sunset reflection in this flooded field felt strangely literal. Looking back at it now I can still feel that sense of uncertainty and and perhaps impending doom… Continue reading The Crowd: Aprils Fool [253]
The Crowd Makes Space [250]
Hi Crowd! Before I get into it, I just want to tell the blockchain nerds here that I’ve minted my first photo on Solana. It’s this crow, taken a few weeks ago in Shibuya. Felt like a good image to christen a new chain. It’s available as an edition of 25, for anyone into that… Continue reading The Crowd Makes Space [250]
The Crowd Has Nice Threads [241]
Oh boy. You knew I I was going to have something to say about all this didn’t you? At the end of last year I wrote about decentralizing social media and started to pick at a little bit of where this all came from, what got us to this point, and about the deterioration of… Continue reading The Crowd Has Nice Threads [241]
The Crowd: Progression Through Unlearning [262]
Hi Crowd! Remember when I said I was going to write shorter single topic posts? lol I grew up in a fairly traditional Catholic family. I went to Catholic school, was an altar boy, had an aunt who was a nun, and had grandparents who would not infrequently hint at how nice it would be… Continue reading The Crowd: Progression Through Unlearning [262]
The Crowd Gets Downgraded [236]
On this scale, I am firmly a 5. My default setting is to approach everything like I’m the idiot in the bunch. I assume everyone else around me understands everything and has more experience than I do. When I was younger I figured everyone else was old and so obviously had more experience and thus… Continue reading The Crowd Gets Downgraded [236]
Decentralizing Social Media
From the very beginning of the internet we’ve wanted to talk to our friends. Or to talk to people who might become our friends. At first this was easy because there weren’t many people online so you could know everyone who found their way into an IRC channel or MUD or various other chatroom but… Continue reading Decentralizing Social Media
Personal Uniform Update 2019
I’ve been writing about personal uniforms for a long time now [2015, 2010] and adhering to them for even longer. While the major themes have remained the same over the years some of the specifics have gotten more specific and as I’m often asked for recommendations I find it useful to take stock once and… Continue reading Personal Uniform Update 2019
Continuing Thoughts On Personal Uniforms
Back in 2010 I wrote about my attraction to personal uniforms. Effectively a simple set of clothing that can be replicated and worn every day, ideally eliminating the “what am I wearing today” decisions first thing in the morning. Just grab the same thing everyday and go. In the initial post I designated 3 core… Continue reading Continuing Thoughts On Personal Uniforms
Travel Diary: In Between
We are currently back in Los Angeles for a few day pit stop between the Singapore and Paris legs of this trip. The main reason for this stop over was so Ripley could see his doctor for his 4 month check up. Dude turns 4 months old today and is apparently healthy as sin and… Continue reading Travel Diary: In Between
Personal uniforms and simplifying through replication
In thinking about clothing and the 100 thing challenge I started thinking back and found this post I wrote a few years ago about minimizing wardrobes and the idea of a personal uniform. It’s been 2 years since I wrote that and I’ve got back and forth and tried out a few things here and… Continue reading Personal uniforms and simplifying through replication
