Lifelon art collector and digital collector since there was such a thing. I stare with awe at a Lichtenstein on my wall for decades now and feel lucky to have it though never think about it’s value. Digital art however seems the opposite and its liquidity makes value everything.

The weather is changing and is getting cold and damp and somehow feels welcome. That is the best ending thought from the movie Sideways as it winds down and makes the movie a keeper to me by that truism alone. In vineyard or in city or in thought it feels right.

In search of a word... In documentary filmmaking there is an endless discussion about how to get the shot without influencing it, how to set the scene without impacting the naturalness of the situation. True is conservation photography and eco tourism as well. Thoughts?

Reread Dune this weekend after a lifetime. What a story. The remake of the film is one of the few remakes i am very much looking forward. Kinda cool rereading a book after decades, and at least a decade since I watched the film that i remembered so much.

of all the people who write about wine with a whole helluva lot of heart and knowledge my dear friend @WinkLorch is my favorite. driving around savoie with her, drinking, searching out gringet plots, eating with harvest workers was a life's pleasure. youtube.com/watch?v=wEfhnaEq…

Session with @msjemmagreen from @PowerLedger_io and Sandra Ro from @GBBCouncil was honestly terrific. A pleasure to help produce these. They make a difference. All conversations are certainly not equal! Powerledger is an example of an ICO that delivered on its promise.

Too many yarseit candles to light tonight. One of the few traditions from a Jewish cultural upbringing that I hold onto tight. As I do the image and memory of those that raised me so well.

Huge fan and participant in the NFT art space. But yesterday, sat down and read 'My Name is Asher Lev" again, a world as far apart but yet deeply connected to the sweat and pain and love of creating images that matter. Obscure wonderful book that was require reading growing up

Thanks to the many attendees of yesterday's Dive In conversation on the Galapagos. Great AMA! Next week we will have the artist Wyland in a pictorial journey and conversation with @SylviaEarle and Liz about art, conservation and the 'water cycle'. zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_…

There is so much critical stuff going on in the world. But in the face of it all, I feel fortunate to be able to co-produce these conversations with @gigib1 Working to make a difference matters. @MissionBlue @OceanElders @wearemedley @SylviaEarle zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_…

Read a stat that while there are literally millions of podcasts less than 2-3% have over a thousand listeners or relistens a week. Worth a moment to think about what this means.

Written ten years ago, I will never stop republishing this post on 9/11. Pays to pause and reflect. It's a better part of our humanity. For those too young or with young companies who came later, do read if so inclined and glad to talk. It's important arnoldwaldstein.com/2019/09/…

clear definition of what a composable app is?

Listened to this. Too long, I sure do not like panel discussions over conversations, no interactivity with the attendees but these are thoughtful practitioners and they scratched at some interesting thoughts. Thanks for raising some of these questions. pscp.tv/w/1lDGLykrPyRJm

There seems to be some disturbance, some drama in the typically, unbridled exuberance and joy in the NFT art space. Been and still am off line doing a project. Can i get the details in one blog post? Thanks in advance.
