@xibot welcome!

Oh yes, definitely. I like physical books for tactile memory + doodling, but for hefty books there's simply no other option.

Perhaps it's time to just go full @vbuterin and get myself a kickass travel backpack to live out of

Fun fact: I was born on the same day as Google Inc.

Funnily enough, Sergey Brin and Larry Page were probably awake at precisely the same moment I first drew breath, pulling an all-nighter to get all the paperwork lined up to cash their first $100k.

Very well done @mark

“Under Pressure” by Queen, the type of song to make you bike a little more slowly than usual, appreciate the deserted late night roads, and savour the glow of the full moon on the backdrop of a clear sky dotted with stars 🚲 🎧 🌕 🌟

Wow. Time to visit Isle of Man.

How long can Google dominate with Amazon and Facebook going after it's crown jewels: search ads & web crawling?

(hey Derek - just in case you're on Twitter - I don't want to bother you through email - you should check out brave.com and peepeth.com. They totally align with your preference of a "decentralized internet" [https://sivers.org/facebook])

Nothing screams obvious blockchain use case as changing & renewing superficial identity details on a government registrar.

The entire New Zealand legal process for changing your name, verifying your identity, and getting a new passport, can be done online.

It's much more boring than I expected. Lawyer's signature, email govt, pay fee, done. Total cost for name rego + passport = $350 ($230 USD)

In that case, I can probably apply the 80/20 rule to books based on "What 20% of books will provide 80% of the information I need in the next 6 weeks?"

I know I'm well-equipped to find more books (esp. with a Kindle)

There's another factor that I just thought of: I'm typically limited (via path of least resistance) to the books & clothes I bring with me. Clothes are less difficult to give up b/c I care less about what I wear compared to what books I'm reading.

Example 2/
Tribe of Mentors by @tferriss (my all-time favorite author)

Although I devoured (+massively annotated) it's predecessor (ToT) in 2017, I simply didn't have the same time this year.

So it goes in perfect unread condition to the friend who shares my love of questions.

Example 1/
Nordic: A Photographic Essay of Landscapes, Food and People

I bought this to enjoy myself but didn't make the time to.

So it goes pristine and unread to a friend who loves mountain biking, is planning to move to Norway, and does photography as a hobby.

Books are the hardest ones to let go of, particularly heavily annotated ones. Same goes for journals. Luckily they keep quite well in an airtight container. As for the unread books, I'm more than happy to make someone's day with a well-placed book as gift.

I like the forced essentialism that travelling ensures. Journals, physical books, various gifts, clothes, memorabilia - they're all baggage.

A nice side effect is that the best place for all of these (at least the latter 4) is that I get to gift or re-gift them to others.

"2018 is the End of Social Media as we Know It" - @Mike_K_Spencer https://outline.com/nEHBGJ

In an ideal world I'd like 70% of my communication on a single, encrypted communication medium that supports SMS style and voice messages, with 10% email and 20% Peepeth (mirrored to Instagram/Twitter/whatever other medium is convenient for others). And delete everything else.

- (Potentially) Instagram, + Twitter & LinkedIm for public social media - linked to non-private email
- Public website on new domain + semi public email
- Telegram & WhatsApp on old phone number for legacy contact

My new social setup may look like:
- New domain email hosted with paid provider
- New private phone number, keep current for legacy contacts + unimportant 2FAs, migrate sensitive 2FAs
- iMessage + secure global platform for SMS style messaging
- Peepeth for public chatting
(cont)

Who uses @myWickr ‏or @SignalApp? What are the pros/cons of either? I see that @SignalApp is co-founded by @brianacton of @whatsapp which I do use for 80% of my communication...
