Baltimore Meetup 4/10 1PM
Well, I’m interested in doing a meetup if y’all are. I’d be willing to host here in Baltimore. I guess express interest and availability here or in PM?

Writing might be inferior to lifelogging as a way of preserving yourself, but it might actually be better than lifelogging as a way of having a specific type of impact on the future.

Your finger will not get burned; it will suffer the cumulative damage resulting from an unusually high quantity of unrelated high-speed molecule attacks.
This strategy works for me. I made the password to my non-work login something that would remind me why I set up the system. (I know of people doing similar things to the phone numbers of people they don’t want to call.)
