On the Art of Finishing Things
I think I'm at a point in my life where I really need to challenge myself to put myself out there more. I do a lot of work with the Jujutsu people, and I'm very into Atproto, but a lot of what I do stays very hidden. I don't spend much time actually putting things out there, even though I'm almost constantly creating.
I'm always finding cool things and getting weird ideas from them. Then I take those ideas and remix them into new things. Maybe not novel, but new to me. I really enjoy that, but it's not visible to anyone else.
I have an Obsidian vault full of dozens and dozens of intersecting ideas that just don't get exposed to anyone. I think I need to just start putting things out more and not worry about what other people think of them. Maybe that will turn out well. I really hope it will. If it doesn't, that's okay. Hopefully it does.
There are so many people in the spaces I'm in who inspire the hell out of me, and I want to be able to give back. Beyond the communities I'm in just being fun to hang out with or whatever, I want to actually inspire greatness in others. I think that would give me quite a lot of joy.
So yeah, I'm just gonna start doing things. If you're interested in following me on this journey, I put out a video yesterday about some headphones I really like. I got a ton of questions about them at Git Merge and thought, "what the hell, I'll try making a video about them," so here it is.
I like building tools, breaking workflows, and putting them back together better. If you enjoy my work and want to support it, you can buy me a coffee ☕ or support me on Liberapay 💛.
