Come move with me to LA!

Literally and metaphorically?

Walking around without a shirt on is a sign that you are self owned.

You just hate me because I’m more masculine than you!

No more overpriced Apple bullshit. Maybe it is time for us to jump ship from Apple, and instead, maybe think more open source and android?

For example, ever since the last iOS update, essentially my iPad Pro M1 chip is practically unusable. Having to add images or load images literally takes over 40 seconds! This is bullshit.

No more apple. My next phone is going to be a Pixel?

Time to jump ship!

also, maybe Google Photos is a good idea?

ChatGPT to the rescue!

An “au pair” is a person from another country who lives with a family and provides childcare services, usually in exchange for room, board, and a small allowance. This arrangement offers a cultural exchange experience, as the au pair learns about the host country’s culture and language while the host family benefits from having a live-in childcare provider who can also bring a different cultural perspective. The term “au pair” comes from French, meaning “on par” or “equal to,” indicating that the relationship is intended to be more of a mutual, familial one rather than a strictly employer-employee dynamic.

The ideal:

What is the ultimate and goal of life? Not money wealth and fame, but art!

Art and muscles.

One of the good things about using your iPhone, smart phone etc. is how little friction it requires to do anything

Cool:

“Calligraphy of Power” evokes an image of a strong, ancient script, embodying both elegance and strength. Let’s imagine a scene with a bold, dark ink calligraphy piece on a textured parchment paper. The script is stylized and powerful, possibly in an ancient language or symbolic script, reminiscent of the inscriptions found in historical empires. The parchment lies on an aged wooden table, illuminated softly by the natural light coming from a nearby window. Around it, there are a few old, leather-bound books and a quill with an inkwell, suggesting a setting of wisdom and learning. This scene combines the aesthetics of ancient knowledge with the artistry of calligraphy, reflecting a fusion of power, history, and artistic beauty.

My thought is that a photographer should also look like a bodybuilder?

This image appears to be an abstract representation, possibly created with digital brush strokes. It has a very expressive, gestural quality, with the black strokes creating a sense of movement or force. The lack of clear forms suggests it might be intended to evoke an emotion or concept rather than to depict something concrete. It could be interpreted in various ways, depending on the viewer’s perspective.

How does it feel?

The image conveys a sense of dynamic motion and raw energy, reminiscent of the expressive power found in abstract expressionist art. The stark black brushstrokes against the white background create a strong visual contrast, suggesting a forceful, unrestrained movement. It feels impulsive and spontaneous, as if the creator made the strokes in a rapid, perhaps emotionally charged act. It could evoke feelings of release, intensity, or even turmoil, depending on one’s interpretation.

Just as people look at the Ferrari or Lamborghini with jealousy … they look at my real human body with envy and jealousy?

Forged in steel:

A Spartan Bitcoin billionaire would be a fascinating blend of ancient discipline with modern technology. This character could embody the stoic philosophy of Sparta, valuing minimalism and strength, but at the same time, they would be at the forefront of financial innovation, possibly using their wealth to fund new technologies or social reforms. They would be someone who applies the rigorous self-discipline and strategic thinking of a Spartan warrior to the volatile world of cryptocurrency, remaining unfazed by the market’s ups and downs, much like a stoic facing life’s vicissitudes. This hypothetical individual might also have a penchant for philanthropy, using their resources to support causes that foster resilience, self-reliance, and perhaps the study and preservation of ancient philosophies like stoicism, blending their interests in a unique way that shapes their influence on the world.

Cool

Beauty as a stimulus?

To craft an image that encapsulates the concept of a “Spartan Bitcoin icon” with an interesting, subjective view, I’ll integrate elements of ancient Spartan aesthetics with the modern symbolism of Bitcoin. The Spartan aspect could be represented by a helmet or a shield, while the Bitcoin aspect will naturally involve the iconic â‚¿ symbol.

Here’s the image prompt for the creation:

“Create an image of a weathered bronze Spartan shield emblazoned with the Bitcoin â‚¿ symbol at its center. The shield should have dents and scratches, symbolizing resilience and the trials of time. Behind the shield, a Spartan helmet with a crimson plume casts a shadow over an ancient Greek backdrop of olive trees and mountains. The entire scene should be lit by the golden glow of dawn, which casts an ethereal light and symbolizes the merging of ancient strength with modern innovation.”

Would you like this vision to be brought to life?
