Blog number 2 crossed 100 reads. This was the review of The Internet Con by Cory Doctorow, which for the longest time was the frontrunner, only to be overtaken by The Ten Percent Thief in the last couple of weeks.
(Don't worry, I'm not going to do this every time, but for now it's still quite exciting).

Quote of the Day
“When the mind experiences something distasteful it craves to be rid of the irritation. When the mind experiences something pleasant, it craves that the pleasure will remain and will intensify. Therefore, the mind is always dissatisfied and restless.” — Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens

No young man should go into politics if he wants to get rich or if he expects an adequate reward for his services. An honest public servant can't become rich in politics. He can only attain greatness and satisfaction by service.

Absence is Presence
There is a strange paradox in life: sometimes the things we cannot see are the things we feel most deeply. Absence is often mistaken for emptiness, but it is rarely empty. A vacant chair at the dinner table speaks louder than a crowded room. A phone that no longer rings can echo with memories. Silence after an argument can carry more meaning than all the words that were spoken before it.We tend to associate presence with what is visible, tangible, and immediate. Yet some of the strongest […]https://chatdeseblog4u.wordpress.com/2026/07/27/absence-is-presence/

Over breakfast, my wife and I had a wonderful conversation about the #Sanskrit word "kushaloapari" (कुशलोपरि), its decomposition, etymology, usage, and relationship to other words. We concluded writing it all up would mean a blog post.

A quotation from Samuel Johnson
One cause which is not always observed of the insufficiency of riches is, that they very seldom make their owner rich. To be rich is to have more than is desired, and more than is wanted; to have something which may be spent without reluctance, and scattered without care, with which the sudden demands of desire may be gratified, the casual freaks of fancy indulged, the unexpected opportunities of benevolence improved.
Avarice is always poor, but poor by her own fault.Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic

Want to feel better in these trying times? Here's one way.
#Make something. Anything.
Today. (Or, it's late evening where I am, so tomorrow.)
Bake a cake.
Design a tee-shirt.
Write a poem.
Hot-glue something amusing to an ugly baseball cap.
Use tiny magnets to stick an LED and a resistor to a 9V battery, so you have a little glowy thing.
Sketch your pet.
Write a confessional sign for your pet.
Take a photo.
Take a photo of the confessional sign and your pet.
Assemble that birdhouse kit.
Pick up that guitar and come up with a new (to you) lick.
Build a campfire.
Turn an old-fashioned wooden clothes peg into a toy by Sharpie-ing a face onto it.
Fold a piece of paper and cut out a paper doll chain.Just create something - whatever you have skills for, or materials for, or the desire to do, whether it's going to be #great or #terrible, whether anyone else is ever going to see it (but you should share it, if I can convince you of that).
Creativity is something you do, not something you are. And the need to #create is universal. It fulfills us, releases us. Just knowing that there is now #something in the world which was not in it before, and that the reason it exists is you *chose* to #create it, will satisfy an inner craving so deeply buried we don't think about it most of the time.
And then share it with someone. And ask them to share theirs with you, if they want to.

Writing and feeling good 🥹
There are times when I can write/type my fingers off, where my brain is so busy with all these ideas and thoughts. Those moments, I try to do all I can to keep the words flowing. I use my phone, my tablet, and my laptop, to keep writing... Some texts will make sense, some may even make decent enough blog posts 😉, like I hope this one to be. And sometimes it's just an ADHD jumble of thoughts and feelings that need to come out. But, most of the time, I try to make blog posts of the thoughts and emotions. I "want" to share my experiences, my journey, as it helps me to deal with it all. And, in a way, I hope that someone reading this may be helped in any way by my words and all... Maybe by seeing that they're not alone out there. That others struggle too. That is all part of the journey. And, maybe, some of my experiences, some of my brain stuff, may even explain some things... I know this is more of a "wishful thinking", and I know that most of this blog is just my way of keeping some sort of diary, where I update it every day, with all of the things from my journey through life... 🚶🏼 […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2026/06/08/writing-and-feeling-good-%f0%9f%a5%b9/

"It’s harder than they tell you, and more rewarding than you imagine.” - 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.
--Most people want the future to be a smooth, linear progression; their career to follow the same path. And in that context, they want any business or career pivot to feel like a graceful turn on a dance floor.
That will never be the case.
But in my own voyage through several decades of being self-employed - a member of the global freelander economy -I’ve learned that it can often feel like a grueling, uphill climb in a windstorm. Running a business, reinventing your identity, and staying ahead of the curve is significantly harder than the books and the "gurus" ever tell you.
But here is the secret: The struggle is what makes you succeed.
If the path to the future were easy, everyone would be there already. The "difficulty" is actually a protective barrier that weeds out those who aren't fully committed. Throughout my career, the moments that felt the most difficult - the technical failures, the market shifts that wiped out old revenue streams, the long nights in the "lab" (Lesson **#16**) learning new things, were exactly the moments that were building the most value.
After all, hardship is where your expertise is forged.
When you realize that the struggle and difficulty are a mandatory part of the process, you stop trying to avoid it and start trying to master it. There's no doubt that carving out your own path and then pivoting when you need to is way harder than they tell you. It will exhaust you, challenge your certainty, and occasionally make you wonder why you didn't just take a "safe" job.
But the rewards along the way? Incomparable. Overwhelming. Mind-bogglingly satisfying! The freedom of the "Infinite Pivot"?
It’s worth more than you can imagine!---
Futurist Jim Carroll knows that successful careers are those that have the most volatility along the way!

Desire and Satisfaction
If our relationship with desire is not satisfying, satisfying desire will not satisfy us. -
"If your ever not satisfied with one of our tires please feel free to bring it back. Thank you."
If your ever not satisfied.
I can dig it. -
