https://t.co/rqql6T8YqC 1. I once played a fender jazz bass at some studio that somehow just felt perfect 2. currently taking care of a friend's fender telecaster for him, quite enjoying it 3. I'd really like a gibson flying V someday. and a rickenbacker bass
writing ebooks, making youtube videos, doing consulting work... basically just these things, until it's safe/sane to travel again https://t.co/ZhKK5MYPys
i like basically all the single malt scotches – have a soft spot for laphroiag, also like macallan https://t.co/T2a5iRL59I
had a really good vegan sandwich at Ike's in Berkeley, courtesy of @tasshinfogleman. still not sure what was in it, some kind of jam? but god it was delicious https://t.co/wH3CkqsVry https://t.co/rVDu9VdJK5
I agree with ben horowitz that the hardest thing is managing your own psychology; everything else is just cranking widgets I'm not perfect at it, but pretty good https://t.co/wlxI7ZY8xu https://t.co/Y0D3aOQepn
I still have to worry about money for now – but the critical thing is to spend as little as you can ("keep your lifestyle small"), save, and to try to find ways to sell things that aren't dependent on you being on the clock for it (eg ebooks) https://t.co/SnyfUN4DOS
there are a few answers to this that idk if I wanna share publicly when I'm not sober, bc they involve other people I'd say I'm grateful that I had such a bad time in school; it gave me a sense of purpose and focus https://t.co/nj64VbwGb3
pulsars are pretty cool. chaotic and powerful https://t.co/8rzCPDjpTX https://t.co/qNDhROLcav
not really sure how to answer this one – at some level, what choice do we have but to be who we are? if you're asking about influences – libraries, books, music, the internet... idk if this can be answered in a tweet. we are always becoming who we are https://t.co/Jh1JI15bDu
i'm not sure actually. feels like more than six months. maybe a year? I often drink a little shot every few days or so, and I have several bottles that I rotate https://t.co/4XccIiSnbh
probably the original Marvel Civil War. Maybe some Sandman – I liked the one where Dream meets the guy in the bar every hundred years(?) https://t.co/9jcrH5EaMN
I'm currently waiting on Contrapoints to drop Justice Pt 2 on YouTube excited to hear that Allie Brosh is back that's about all for now really... I'm mostly interested in older history stuff oh I'm also looking forward to Obama's memoirs next month https://t.co/OYc3Y6R3K8
fresh hot bread when you're hungry https://t.co/6f2MM8r3dc
I've answered this one before! it would be... basically earnest nerd twitter. with supportive elder nerds https://t.co/SRrTBC51Ds https://t.co/s8Y0Pnzpbf
I'm not sure I believe in an afterlife, or if there's any utility to bringing a memory there, but if I assume you're asking about a really cherished memory... maybe the time my friends all chipped in to buy me a starbucks card to support my writing https://t.co/FCBk1PmBW3
uhhh I don't know, lol. I can't really smell myself. I presume I'm slightly musky, as dudes tend to be https://t.co/Bu365KWswn
there aren't really any good taco places in singapore. I had a nice range of them when I was in the bay area, but I didn't really have enough to develop a set of preferences. whatever my friends recommend, I guess https://t.co/2Fp1drLOgT
there are lots of contradictions – I tend to think of them as tensions. the tension between freedom and security is a major one. flexibility and focus. everything is context-dependent. if you want to avoid contradictions you have to narrow your context https://t.co/oD82rj85M3
I have long-term *commitments*. eg, I'm committed to building the greatest social graph of friendly ambitious nerds that the world has ever seen. I'm flexible about how that plays out. it's not pure instinct; there is a bunch of math and thinking involved https://t.co/umfZLfzchk
i'll think and talk about anything, tbh. there are some things I tone down on main on twitter bc it would be tacky to talk about publicly (eg family stuff), but i'm happy to talk abt it on my locked alt. As I get older I do get bored of vague abstractions https://t.co/BjnDpCyAYj
curiosity draws me in, stress/anxiety/fear pulls me out https://t.co/hma7kgwSGT
