Some people in my writing community have already finished. No idea how they did it in one day.
I also finished walking every street in my city a while ago. See https://citystrides.com/users/31460/map#44.56456589999999,-1... Lot of fun, lost 10 pounds, saw a ton of fun stuff I had no idea was here (even after 40 years).
And I finally am finishing a classic (1800's) sailing ship wooden model I've had for ages. A lot of fun to do something very non-software.
I'm archiving every video from my favorite Chaturbate streamer by uploading it to Backblaze, IPFS and providing an index. (NSFW) https://futureporn.neocities.org/ (NSFW) I'm also automating as much of it as possible. Currently writing an extensive test suite for my node library which handles transcoding, thumbnail generation, and uploading.

Oh it is an mp4 interesting. Interesting stuff I thought it would be people but looks like nude vtuber skins or something. Neat
Yeah this space is interesting, like social void filling/companionship. What's crazy is these could not even be real people, since it's a CGI type body. I know mocap but yeah. Make a bunch of em, get people to watch em, tips... hmm.
I have 2 planned books to write, also, afterwards in my TODO queue. but trying to have no more than 1 active work-like side project at a time, so dont burn out. and just cap my hours on it. 0 is too few, 2 too much, 1 is just right
I won the IPO lottery and I’m in the middle ground between rich enough to never work again but not quite rich enough for the yachts/mansions/private jets lifestyle. I haven’t worked in 6 months and I’m struggling to find a larger meaning to my life beyond getting yet another tech job. I’ve considered going to college for a math degree, moving to my parents home country, and joining the military (among many other opti…
If from the Coinbase IPO, you just got out of lockout and you're new to that amount of money. You're probably still near 100% invested in Coinbase and need to divest into something more diversified and less volatile than Coinbase before you can sit on your hands and look at the number in your brokerage account as if it was real retirement grade money. Plus you'll need to pay a ton of taxes on the capital gain. So don…
I started selling spice blends, the flavor being "Beef Noodle Soup". After seeing "Everything but the Bagel" at Trader Joe's, I thought it was the first spice blend I saw named after a dish. Interesting! If people can have bagels anywhere, what else would people want to have anywhere? I asked my partner what sort of flavors would be familiar to people we knew, and she came up with the triumvirate: Pho, Ramen, and Bee…
This is an awesome idea! I’ve been thinking about doing something similar in the hot sauce area. Any lessons/takeaways? Would love to know how you got your first customers.
There isn’t enough fermented hot sauces in New Zealand… not sure if the product gap is worthwhile where you are, or whether it interests you.
Perhaps you could become as great as ADAM REAL-LAST-NAME-UNKNOWN - chapter heading page 119: https://joeandjin.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/anthony-bourda...
“Why, of all his creatures, did He choose this loud, dirty, unkempt, obnoxious, uncontrollable, megalomaniacal madman to be His personal bread baker? How was it that this disgrace as an employee, as a citizen, as a human being-this undocumented, untrained, uneducated and unwashed mental case who's been employed (for about ten minutes) by every kitchen in New York-could throw together a little flour and water and make magic happen? And I'm talking real magic here, people. I may have wanted Adam dead a thousand times over. I may have imagined, even planned his demise-torn apart by rabid dogs, his entrails snapped at by ravenous dachshunds, chained to a pillory post and flogged with chains and barbed wire before being drawn and quartered-but his bread and his pizza crust are simply divine. To see his bread coming out of the oven, to smell it, that deeply satisfying, spiritually comforting waft of yeasty goodness, to tear into it, breaking apart that floury, dusty crust and into the ethereally textured interior . . . to taste it is to experience real genius. His peasant-style boules are the perfect objects, an arrangement of atoms unimprovable by God or man, pleasing to all the senses at once. Cezanne would have wanted to paint them-but might not have considered himself up to the job. Adam Real-Last-Name-Unknown may be the enemy of polite society, a menace to any happy kitchen, a security risk and a potential serial killer, but the man can bake. He's an idiot-savant with whom God has serious, frequent and intimate conversations. I just can't imagine what He's telling him-or whether the message is getting garbled during transmission.”
