Silicon Valley Canon, Day One:
(This is from yesterday’s reading because I am 100% /slowcore-hq)

I find this collection of scientists and their backstories fascinating. To have grown up in a small Hungarian village, watching your parents create opportunity through their own efforts—and then to watch as that society crumbles, or worse, to be Jewish and watch it crumble on top of you and everyone you love.

I also find myself jealous of them, in a weird way. I’m so hungry for knowledge, to have intellectual rigor foisted on me so I can see what my mind is capable of. I want to be surrounded by incredible teachers, and the opportunity to test myself and discover new things.

Nothing is holding me back from giving it to myself. Maybe this class is the beginning of my hermit scholar era 💅

Thank you @phil! I am so impressed with the care and intelligence you’ve put into this curriculum, and incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this.

Hello, hello, hi.

Today we announced that Zellic and Code4rena are joining forces.

Personally, I'm pretty excited about this. Working with Luna and Jazzy and their incredible team has already been an amazing experience. I'm thrilled to be aligned with researchers so focused and excellent at advancing security outcomes in the space.

Another benefit: maybe now that the acquisition is done, I'll get to cast more 😅

Thanks to everyone who has been super-supportive and understanding of my slow response times (especially @phil for single-handedly making the /books channel epic along with everything else he does) AND ALSO those who continue to talk to me even though my banger casts have been few and far between (honestly will leave that to @christin and @cameron from now on anyway)

And if you have any questions about the acquisition, feel free to DM! I like 1:1 chats :)

So honored we got to help secure Moxie at @code4rena and be a part of history 🫡

Keep thinking about Rilke’s words on fame. Be grateful, friends, that no one knows you.

lol seems accurate

Picnic-chan's bwain is all fuzzy-wuzzy from decaf, but she still wuvs her meetings uwu~ Even if they make her want to cwy sometimes >_<

“But we, when moved by deep feeling, evaporate”

Feeling the evaporative nature of all things, beautiful and terrible, this morning

Also, be sure to read to the end; the payoff is breathtaking

From The Selected Works of Rainier Marie Rilke

Opportunity is calling

—

“Stop!” I cried imploringly to my god-like mind. “This is madness.” It was offering me the opportunity to Save the World Through Degeneracy.

—The Confederacy of Dunces, John K. Toole

Actual photo of my kids when I text them from Brussels, forgetting it’s 3am there

Christening this “To The Lighthouse” in honor of the great Virginia Woolf

“she had known happiness, exquisite happiness, intense happiness, and it silvered the rough waves a little more brightly, as daylight faded, and the blue went out of the sea and it rolled in waves of pure lemon which curved and swelled and broke upon the beach and the ecstasy burst in her eyes and waves of pure delight raced over the floor of her mind and she felt, It is enough! It is enough!”

Gorgeous exhibition

I’ve never wanted to live in a place so overrun with weeds and chaos this much in my life

Me when I’m reaching higher

I’ve been doing decaf since January. Today I had to take my parents to the airport before 5am, so I allowed myself the caffeine life for one day.

I forgot how much caffeine inspires gratitude in me. Gushing about the whole world in my heart this morning

FARCASTER YOU ARE BRILLIANTLY ALIVE TODAY

Most beautiful giveaway on Farcaster right now 🫶

Got an Omarsdottir book of poetry in Reykjavik and the dedication feels prescient today.

“We watch the fires of destruction, of desire, and of ambition, and wonder what we can risk, and what we might gain.”

Thinking about the soul’s journey today, and the role of imagination in seeing beyond the hills we’re currently climbing

(Thank you, Fernando Pessoa, and your Book of Disquiet)

Got to participate in the OP/Base SEAL wargames retro today. Inspired by how both teams handled a live incident simulation.

Some of my notes (honestly also useful for LIFE)

gm to all that is holy

Can’t stop thinking about Fernando Pessoa and The Book of Disquiet

Appreciate:

- Giant sleeping sweater that is like sleeping in an ocean of fuzziness

- Chicken and shrimp gyros someone else makes for you

- Breakthroughs at the last second when you think everything is impossible

I love Fernando Pessoa. He cared so much about *why* he wrote; it was a consistent blocker for him

Does anyone else question their motives all the time?

Was talking about this with a friend; I want to do things purely, because I believe in it/love it/it’s necessary to me, but that awareness can make it hard to act

Helloooooo [ echo echo echo ]

Excited to kick off the /code4rena channel. I’m the most bullish on Farcaster from our team, so I’m taking it on.

What do we want to see here? Besides new competition announcements, that sort of thing.

Going to finally kick off the /code4rena channel bc I’m getting questions

Are we on Farcaster yet, wardens/competitive auditors? What would we want from a C4 channel?
