Abraham Kim last shared their writing needed time to think
There had been a service online that had been community funded that would archive the internet and what it would look like progressively. You could visit a site at a certain date and see what it would look like. For some reason Jack didn't believe the old Blue Corp sites....

The woman with no small intestine

She fed herself through four bags of saline solutions. She took the four bags twice a day. 

Four years ago her torturer ripped out her small intestines. The torturer must've been a trained surgeon, otherwise there was no way they could've pulled off such a clean job.

Besides the height and...

Food -> Shit

Food presented on the table is beautiful. Appetizing. Can't wait to dig in.

When I go to the toilet I create shit.

Thinking about what you actually give to the world versus what the world gives you, it's not hard to be humble.

It's once you start crafting these arbitrary playgrounds. Aspire for...

An artist who could not create I

There was a pub one artery and two veins from the square that sheltered probably who I'd consider the most miserable soul I've known.

He arrived that watering hole around the same time I would: the start of happy hour before the crowd ruffled through. It was my favorite time to...

Less ->

Less speaking about what you are going to do. More doing.

Less doing what you think you want. More doing what you like.

Less thinking you want what you like. More being open to what you actually like.

Less thinking you like what you want. And more liking what you like.

The Bill Collector I

First job out of college was for the national gas company. Went around reading people's meters and making sure we collected the right amount of money. Most people did pay the right amount, but you always ran into some troublemakers.

Even these troublemakers weren't that bad. You just had to catch...

Before the commitment

For me the worst part about the internet is the best feature: infinite access to information.

By this point in my life I've figured out and accepted that the best type of day is not the kind that starts with consuming. It doesn't matter how good the podcast is or how...

A Barszcz Recipe

I once found a recipe barszcz . Or I couldn't even call this a recipe. It was more a series of descriptions and then finally a few principles.

It's almost like the babcia began with an attempt at capturing the steps involved, but by the end realized there was too much...

Reward Addiction

I have quite an overhaul for the writing-workflow I'm working on for  Adagia . It includes changes that are big enough that I can't just write the code, test it and crank it out in one session. Probably couldn't even do it in two sessions. Because this feels daunting, I've...

Fist as weapon - IV

I was halfway through shaving when they arrived at the door. I thought about finishing up really quick before answering but by the sound of their buzzing I could tell they were in a hurry. I carried my razor with me to the door as to signal that I wasn't...
