24.10.16 - One step for man, one giant leap for Sheldiniโ€ฆor something like that ๐Ÿ˜‚

Today was a big day. Got a lot done, and to add a cherry on top was repping over 200lbs on bench ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ

Everyday is a chance to get after it, just keep moving.
24.10.15 - Honestly today was toughโ€ฆ

Majority of the days I feel like I have infinite energy but there are those days like today when I get in a real funk and the most basic tasks are a headache. Itโ€™s all a part of being human on the path set out for me.

Feel those emotions and keep pushing.
24.10.14 - Devcon 7 here I come!!! I look forward to every 2 years when this specific conference comes around.

Last time I went it was such a great chance to meet people irl, learn about the new breakthroughs and experience a different culture. Super excited for it next month!
24.10.13 - One of my closest friends came into town and itโ€™s been such a blast kicking it with him. Cool just to catch up on all the recent happenings ๐Ÿ˜Œ
LLLFFFFGGGGGGG!!!!! STILL SHOCKED SPACEX CAUGHT THE BOOSTER!!! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ
24.10.12 - Spent a good chunk of the day in thinking and planning mode. A lot is shifting so formulating a clear plan!
Went out for a 10 miler! Long runs are always good for thinking time ๐Ÿ˜Œ
24.10.11 - Iโ€™m in the lab cooking!! Nothing like some fruit, the occasional cookie and some code to bring in a Friday night ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿพโ€๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ˜
Fam we got to 395lbs on squat last night! Onward and upwards to 400+ next week ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Here was the entire progression:
45x15
175x12
285x10
335x8
355x6
375x4 <- last weekโ€™s max
395x2
24.10.10 - Musings on appchains:
First dydx, (then @goldchain ๐Ÿ˜) , now Unichain. This is one of the biggest shifts in crypto narrative that we are undergoing. I canโ€™t understate how monumental this move towards isolated block space, maintained decentralization and emphasized UX above all will be.

This is just the beginning of what will be a sea of app chains. As the OpEx of running and maintaining a blockchain drops, the value prop of owning the chain for any new onchain product will be drastically increased. I learned first hand from Gold just how powerful owning the full stack can be for an app but it was honestly still fairly costly and challenging. Iโ€™m very confident itโ€™ll get much easier and cheaper going forward.

The Cosmos ecosystem had the app chain thesis right but they were just too early and lacked on the path to get here ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ.
24.10.09 - Sometimes itโ€™s a matter of changing up the strategy to get to where you want to be.

Also, say leeesssss. Love me a viral FC trend :

24.10.08 - I am ๐Ÿฅฆ and ๐Ÿฅฆ is me. This is hilarious! ๐Ÿ˜‚
24.10.07 - Mmmaannnn navigating the idea maze got hands ๐Ÿ˜”
24.10.06 - Took some time away from the keyboard and saw The Wild Robot. Such a beautiful wholesome movie. Highly recommend!
24.10.05 - The characters you run into in NYC are unmatched! Iโ€™m about to jump into this DeLorean and meet you all in the future ๐Ÿ˜‚
24.10.04 - What a week!! So much happening in such a short period of time.

Random, took a walk today and it was just a reminder that thereโ€™s also so much happening out in the city away from my keyboard.
24.10.03 - Random musings: Call it inspiration of just gut feel but sometimes I get random ideas that I need to run with.

Have those thoughts just been lingering below the surface waiting for the right moment or is it just a net new idea that came from some external input at the right place at the right time ๐Ÿค”
Hit 375lbs on squat today ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ. Pretty proud to increase week over week!
Yโ€™all are my new running podcasters ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿพ
Nothing like a late night run while listening to the late night crew yappers ๐Ÿ˜…
24.10.02 - In the darkest of times when things donโ€™t seem to be working just know there are brighter days ahead!

Stay true to yourself and trust the path,
wherever it might take you.
Putting in some work last night repping 195lbs on bench. The goal is to get to 250lbs next year ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ
24.10.01 - Running and working out really have been my outlet for thinking.

While everything else is a complete rollercoaster, at-least I can go back to sweating out all the negative thoughts, stressors and come back with a clear mind.
24.09.30 - One second it was the end of August, I blinked and now itโ€™s already Octoberโ€ฆwhere did September go?

This year really picked up speed ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ
24.09.29 - Today definitely didnโ€™t go as planned but still got in some work ๐Ÿค“

Good start to the week. Letโ€™s get after this week!
