July (IV) Welcome, dear Nxters and other followers! Recently the batteries in my tv remote died, and to my great dismay, there were no other ones that small around my house. So there I was, comfortable in my lazy clothes, staring at a blank tv. No amount of button pushing would power the tv …
Nxter News – July 2018 (III): Imagination Is The Highest Form Of Research
July (III) Welcome, dear Nxters and other followers! Imagination is not the same as following a trend. Adding a touchscreen on your espresso maker does not make it better, you have just feature-creeped an existing product likely at the expense of a good user experience. No, imagination is coming up with a unique solution, …

Nxter News – June 2018 (III): All Truly Great Thoughts Are Conceived While Walking
June (III) Welcome, dear Nxters and other followers! Walking is healthy, and for that alone everyone should do it. Walking also allows for you to clear your head and just be alone with your thoughts. When walking you can think about how to use blockchain to change the world, as a friendly suggestion – …
Nxter News – June 2018 (II): Those Who Are Crazy Enough To Think They Can Change the World Usually Do
June (II) Welcome, dear Nxters and other followers! People tend to like the familiarity of routines and changing the world is often lumped in with “delusions of grandeur.” It was crazy for bicycle shop owners to think that man could fly and yet the Wright brothers built the first plane. It was crazy to …
Nxter News – June 2018 (I): A Man Who Has No Imagination Has No Wings
June (I) Welcome, dear Nxters and other followers! Thanks to our imaginations we have many wonderful things that make our lives better – including sliced bread, planes, staples, sunscreen, and literally dozens more. The blockchain is such a technology; once someone’s imagination turned into reality. Once I was like “sequentially hashed files” why would …

May (IV) Welcome, dear Nxters and other followers! Work is hard, that is why we call it work after all. Work takes time, effort, frustration, inconvenience and much more. Yet, it is worth the reward.
