Nov 2, 2025 Expat Oxidizing

I am so tired of Expat Oxidizing, it needs to stop. We’ve gotta work to stop this.

Nov 2, 2025 How Did I Miss November 1st?

Bro, I start this journal to post daily and I am already missing days💀 Interesting conversations from today:

Oct 31, 2025 Self Ownership Checklist

I will try to spend this halloween night, writing a “self ownership” checklist. As I have run Agency Economy, I have come to realize there needs to be a way for people to understand what ti means to have agency in the digital world. Literally just saying, “here is what you should do/have!” That way it can function as a reference for people.

Oct 30, 2025 PGP Everywhere

I am going to start using PGP where ever I can. I will also promote the use of GPG to my social cirle. I will host a key signing party under Agency Economy.

I should also update friends.txt to reflect this.

Oct 29, 2025 Cleaned Up

I cleaned up robertismo.com, it was embarrassing how odd I had it setup, feels good to have it a bit nicer to work with. I will start writing here more consistently.

I now have this journal feed for daily stuff, while the blog will probably still be on an odd schedule.

Oct 28, 2025 Ffmpeg Rite of Passage

I will make it a goal of mine to get a patch into ffmpeg so that I can start talking mad crazy about the project on twitter.

LOL I would never do that and I don’t have Xitter, love ffmpeg❤️

Oct 27, 2025 Second NYC Mayoral Debate

I think my favorite part of the Second NYC Mayoral Debate(moment linked here) was when Zohran Mamdani said his favorite NYC mayor was Fiorello La Guardia and Andrew Cuomo seemed legitimately shocked he said that.

“It was Bill de Blasio last debate!” Cuomo says seemingly not even as a gotcha from his expression. I think he really thought in his heart of hearts, Mamdani was going to say Bill de Blasio and was stunned that they agreed on La Guardia.
