Ode to Haiku: From the Quiet Green
I was laying on the quiet green drinking a Gansett lager, when I saw a robin take three hops and then fly away. This scene inspired me to write a haiku:Clouds block out the sun Robin hops on the Quiet Green Maple leaves rustlingBrown University Quiet GreenThis scene inspired me to write a haiku because it reminded me of a Haiku Jack Kerouac wrote.Empty baseball field --A robin, Hops along the benchThis is why I love haiku. An image of a robin hopping is so simple, yet it creates a potent imag...

My New Year's Resolutions
January 1, 2022 I hate when people post a recap of the past year or share resolutions for the upcoming year. I find it inauthentic and forced, plus, no one really cares. It is always about engagement farming and signaling, not actually adding anything meaningful to the internet. I have seen this crop up around social media, and especially Crypto Twitter and Tech Twitter in general. I enjoy watching these communities because I learn a lot and it is helping me shape what I want to do in the nea...

Anonymity by the group, by the platform
December 31, 2021 ** ** I missed writing the last two days because I was at a concert and then I was super sick and went to the hospital. I hope all of the people who have been enthralled with my writing are not too upset about my lack of writing output. Today I am writing about the power of anonymity and groups. On December 29th I went to the first of four New Years concerts that Tycho was performing at the Independent in San Francisco. Before Tycho went up, a DJ, Mozhgan, opened for them. I...

De Stijl
December 28, 2021 My article yesterday was about where I think the future of NFTs is headed, and in short I believe a small number of artists selling 1 of 1 NFTs will dominate the market. The question is, who are these artists? That is somewhat of a bad question because trying to predict which artists will explode in popularity is an exercise in futility, however I think a distinct style will emerge as the “NFT style”, and from there savvy art collectors and critics can play a Clement Greenbe...

The Future of NFTs
December 27, 2021 ** ** While I did want to write these blogs in part to show how Mirror and the greater Web3 community can be less self-referential, I am going to begin by writing about NFTs (Boo!!!). I am going to split up my thoughts in two articles: first on the future of non-utilitarian NFTs, and second on defining the style that will dominate non-utilitarian NFTs. It is important to differentiate between utilitarian NFTs and non-utilitarian NFTs. A utilitarian NFT provides a value outsi...
