These were the notes I presented inside the Vagobond Magazine discord. They aren’t complete by any means, I simply wanted to share what NFT-NYC has been like for those who are curious and not here. To be fair, I think a conference like this is different for every attendee. In a way it’s like minting…
I’ve been steadily working at becoming a better version of myself. There are sometimes setbacks, but in general, I feel like I’m making progress. A lot of that comes from self-understanding. It’s taken me fifty-one years to realistically look at who I am and to stop trying to make myself into someone I am not….
A Brief Explanation. In mid-2021, I minted an NFT from a Pixel Vault collection then called Metahero (now Inhabitants).

I’ve been thinking about this sport and how to make it a reality since 2003. The one thing that I never really considered was using a giant wave pool – these are now much more available and accessible. This morning I was playing with ChatGPT and asked it to lay out the details of the…

My mom’s first job was working for Walt Disney at Disneyland. She was one of the original mermaids in the Disneyland lagoon. My…
The tricky part of traveling with my eleven-year-old daughter is finding ways to make it fun for both of us. I wasn’t going to keep us in the Narita Airport Crowne Plaza longer than I had to, so I’d booked us into Annex Katsutaro Ryokan in the old Nippori and Yanaka section of Arakawa City…
I love Japan. I’ve only spent a little bit of time here – but in that short period, I’ve learned that it offers everything I want from a place. The landscapes, the cities, the food, the people and culture, the technology, and much more. I’ve said it before – if Japan were the first country…
