To win at poker, be a good loser.
When was the last time you won big in poker?I haven’t had a big win in poker for a long time. While there are potentially various reasons for this, one of the main reasons I’ve only just come to realize and embrace is that I’m not a good loser.How good I am at the game is debatable, but what I do know for certain is that I was spending considerable time off the felts “getting over” downswings, bad beats and repetitive mistakes. You see, when you’re running good — it’s fairly easy to keep goin...

I was offered sex by a couple in the Metaverse.
A regular night-out turned out to be not so regular after all.It was like any other Friday — a good ol’ VR night in with the boys. As expected, we bumped into friends and friends of friends through the night. While almost everyone we met was cool and friendly, there was a married couple in particular that were a bit too cool — a bit too friendly. We met them quite early into the night and they continued to party with us everywhere we went. Virtual drinks continued to flow and so did our conve...

A day in the life of a web3 junglee.
What it’s like to jay-walk from the world of web2 to web3.I’m sure I speak for most if not all of us — the term web3 was rather new at the start of 2021 but since then it’s quickly become a phenomenon that almost everyone including my 15 year old niece is familiar with.I mean, who isn’t talking about blockchains or NFTs today?I was quite intrigued by what the web3 “future” holds for individuals like myself. As an artist with strong roots in advertising & marketing, I’ve always been known to e...

Cryptography of a Sadhu
What’s a world without a bit of enigma?Sadhu (IAST: sādhu (male), sādhvī or sādhvīne (female)), also spelled saadhu, is a holy person who has renounced the worldly life. They are sometimes alternatively referred to as yogi, sannyasi or vairagi. Crypto Sadhu is a collection of 30 Sadhus created by me, myself and I. I’ve always been fascinated by Sadhus and with my recent liking (loving) towards the world of crypto-art / NFTs, I couldn’t help but imagine merging the two. All Sadhus are hand-cra...
