  2. "Invest in your own experience. Do the work." - Futurist Jim Carroll

    --
    Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
    --

    Yesterday, I told you to waste time on frivolous things.

    I encouraged you to play with the "toys" that others dismiss, because that’s where the future hides. But once you find a "toy" that hums with the signal of a major disruptive trend, you have to make a choice: do you stay a spectator, or do you become a practitioner?

    The Infinite Pivot requires you to move from "playing" to "doing," and in doing so, developing the critical skills and insight you need to successfully pivot into your next version of you.

    A key philosophy I’ve followed throughout my 36-year voyage is that if I’m going to speak or write about a disruptive trend, I’ve got to have hands-on experience with it. I refuse to be a "slideshow strategist" who simply repeats what they read in a trade magazine. If I haven't touched it, I don't feel I have the right to talk about it.

    It's one thing to see the "frivolous" potential of a trend; it's another to understand its soul.

    So with that being the case, I learn through doing.

    Linux as a foundation? I didn't just read about it; I became a Linux geek, building and managing the very server infrastructure that powers my digital presence. Smart home trends? I didn't just buy a hub; I built a living laboratory of interconnected sensors and complex logic. Self-driving cars? I didn't just watch the videos; I invested ten grand in Tesla's FSD. (The hands-on "phantom braking" moments taught me more about the reality of AI than any white paper ever could, and the fact it won't be real for quite some time. DNA-based preventative medicine? I didn't just track the news; I had my 23andMe done and took a deep dive into my personal healthcare genome to see the future of personalized wellness firsthand.

    Do you get the point? I can’t go on stage and speak about future trends if I don't have a deep, visceral understanding of those trends.

    In an era of shallow, AI-generated summaries and surface-level takes, your greatest competitive advantage is tactile truth. While everyone else is talking about the future, you are busy wiring it. Putting it together.Making it real. Getting into the weeds with it.

    Don't just watch the future happen.

    Get your hands dirty.

    Put in the work.

  5. Gemeinsam Computerdinge lernen? Rätsel kreativ lösen? Komm in #Wien zur ersten #FLINTA*-Edition vom C3WTF!

    What (the F)?
    Chaos Computer Club Wien (=C3W) + Capture the Flag (=CTF = Rätsel lösen) = C3WTF

    Gemeinsam lösen wir kreative in kleinen Gruppen techniknahe Rätsel. Das sind Challenges aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen:

    Sicherheitslücken auf Websiten finden (ethisches Hacken)?
    Spielerisch in der Kommandozeile arbeiten und dazulernen?
    Investigative Nachforschungen anhand von frei zugänglichen Quellen (OSINT)?
    Schauen was im Netzwerk herumgeschickt wird? Wo da vielleicht wer unerlaubt sich eingeschleust hat?
    Oder andere Rätsel auf die du sonst noch Lust hast? Klar, probieren wir es gemeinsam aus!

    Wann?
    Sa, 14. März ab 15 Uhr - FLINTA*-Edition
    Sa, 11. April ab 15 Uhr - FLINTA*-Edition
    Fr, 8. Mai ab 16 Uhr - open for all genders
    Wo?
    Favoritenstraße 11 / Ecke Taubstummengasse, 1040 Wien OpenStreetMap
    Erdgeschoss, FAV Hörsaal 3 Zemanek, (barrierearmer Raum und WC)

    Was bringst du mit?
    Lust zu lernen, Dinge auszuprobieren und Spaß daran, kreative um die Ecke zu denken.
    Eigener Laptop ist super. Wir haben vermutlich auch Laptops zum Ausborgen. Auch sonst finden wir eine Gruppe, wo du zuschauen, gemeinsam Challenges lösen und mitdiskutieren kannst. :)

    Beginner-friendly: Es gibt immer auch Rätsel und Aufgaben für Anfänger*innen.
    Für einzelne Challenges, wo es bestimmte Tools braucht, helfen wir uns gegenseitig beim Einrichten der Umgebung. Für manche Challenges ist es hilfreich, eine virtuelle Maschine und/oder die Software Docker am Laufen zu haben, aber es gibt auch genug Auswahl, wo das nicht der Fall ist!

    Auch Leute, die sich schon gut auskennen und Erfahrung mit Cybersecurity-Challenges haben, sind herzlich willkommen! Let's connect and learn from each other!

    Es wird Snacks geben. Kostenlos, keine Anmeldung nötig – komm einfach vorbei! Bring gerne friends mit und leite diese Einladung weiter, danke. :)

  6. If you're interested in #FruitTree #grafting #HandsOn #education, see info below.

    Learn the basic skill and knowledge you need to start grafting and graft your own heritage apple tree to take home!

    This #workshop will describe the reasons for grafting, when to graft, and when to collect budwood. The workshop will be hands on and participants will be introduced to tree terminology, grafting tools and materials, and will be shown various grafting techniques. Participants will get the chance to practice their new skills on spare branches and once confident, do an actual graft. Each participant will be able to choose an apple variety from the heratige collection at Welland Orchard to graft on to a dwarfing rootstock, to create a new apple tree to take home.

    All tools and materials will be provided.

    Be sure to come dressed for the elements as this workshop will be held outdoors.

    Please register in advance:

  11. Ever wondered how KM3NeT’s #OpticalModules are built? It’s an elaborate, multi-step process to create these pressure-resistant spheres packed with 31 photomultipliers, power & data electronics, and calibration tools like compasses and nanobeacons.

    Last week, KM3NeT collaborators gathered at the newly inaugurated #CAPACITY lab in #Caserta for the 2nd Optical Modules Integration Workshop.
