This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

    Planning a move to a new city in a new state for the first time in 7 years, hitting me forcefully how much I’ve kinda settled into a rut, even though I’ve moved 4 times within Seattle. I’m definitely not the person who wrote this post 8 years ago.https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2011/07/31/on-being-an-illegible-person/ …

        "Whereas the tourist generally hurries back home at the end of a few weeks or months, the traveler belonging no more to one place than to the next, moves slowly over periods of years, from one part of the earth to another.

        Just did the same after being in the same place for 1.5 years. Took a few weeks of activation energy, but once I went Marie Kondo on my stuff and packed my car, it was full nomad again. Feels good to be unsettled again.

        Sometimes I read the stuff I wrote 6 to 7 years ago and am pleasantly surprised that I knew at least a little bit back then
