@tomjennings @Macross I think if I had one of those mounted in my workshop, I'd feel compelled to find at least one pencil of each diameter

Dipped into Nostr again last night because ADHD and the tech looks nifty.

Within 12 minutes of posting "setting up my nostr", I got 5 invites to buy random cryptocurrencies. Had to scroll & scroll to find anything in the global timeline not about Bitcoin. It's like a time capsule from 2018.

Would like to give Nostr a fair shake, but it's feeling like why I've never really gotten into ham radio - i.e. I'm not enthused by the crowd hanging out there

This feels like a living-in-the-future moment: I sent a text message to my optometrist a couple of blocks away asking to order more contacts. They sent back a link. I clicked it and paid for the contacts. The contacts will be there in a few days. I can walk over to pick them up - takes about 10 minutes, including the walk.

Like, none of this is particularly exotic, but it's kinda neat when it all works
