Terrorizing with ever expanding definitions of Terrorists.

I'm speaking at the Canadian Bitcoin Conference next week: canadianbitcoinconf.com/speakers-2025/

Trying to ignore the news to get work done while simultaneously worrying it's going to kick my door in for ignoring it.

I'm all for accessibility software but if it crashes my website no one's accessing it.

Militarize the police and eventually the police become the military.

How's that well organized militia treating you?

One cartel fighting another.

When it's illegal for you to wear a mask but law enforcement is you have a problem.

The philosophy of the Bill of Rights is not "trust the government."

Been on the road. Back in NYC now. Just saying hi.

Greetings from Burning Man. Lot's of weather so far turning the playa into mud difficult to navigate. Having a blast and hope things are good with you too!

Will do.

I consider being blocked by someone I’ve never interacted with the highest form of flattery.

It’s Superman but Supergirl?

Going to Burning Man this weekend for the first time in thirty years. Apparently it’s a gated community now.

I have since learned there was only 400 people the first year I went.

One of the things I like about having dogs is that they tell you it's time to go outside.

A relative in Norway told me that some Nazis wanted to march through his town awhile back. The town ignored them, the local press didn't cover it, and the cosplay march withered away. You can't ignore the threat, but publicizing it can amplify it in unintended ways. No simple solution to this.

No government will abuse this.

You're witnessing why I believe in limited government.

Masked law enforcement is Un-American.

Indeed, I will be in an RV with air conditioning.

I am about to go for the first time in 30 years. I have promised myself I will not be a grumpy old man and make fun of the RVs, air conditioning, or the fact that the people there now are the ones we were trying to get away from then.

Back in 1991 in SF someone asked me if I wanted to go out to the desert and scout a location for a party. Had a blast on the scout. Later, about 2,000 people showed up for the very fun party. I thought it had jumped the shark though, because someone as uncool as me was at it. It was Burning Man.

I miss album covers.

Paging Thomas Kuhn, Thomas Kuhn to the white courtesy phone please.

Writing an appellate brief hence the radio silence just checking in and saying 👋

Law is just applied philosophy, which is why it's so often ridiculous.
