Always Have An Exit Strategy

Well, you all know it's coming so this shouldn't be a surprise. Society as we know it will end and all that will remain are villages of people fighting each other for the ever-dwindling supplies in abandoned grocery stores. In this dystopian world, money and power won't save you; dollar bills will only be good to burn for heat and survivors will only know you by your skills. People will have to make their own clothes, grow their own food, do their own dental fillings. Billions of people will die. In this grim future, we must answer the final question! - How will you pay for haircuts? The central world bank/government/theme park (ie: The Man) will have control over all the boring old currencies, and the internet, and your access to clean power. So obviously you need crypto. Now I know what you are thinking, and you are probably right. But let's just forget that for now. Let's instead take comfort in the knowledge that nerds from the Magical Crypto Conference have it

The Cult of Fitbit Part 2

Yes,  Al

The Cult of Fitbit

    Fitness has always been "all the rage" but, for reasons, no one can express, each generation feels the need to pretend they reinvented it. They embrace some strange facet of exercise as if everyone before them were just ignorant lazy slobs. Because of their new break throughs, the peak of human performance is now truly obtainable. Fitness trackers are my generation's attempt at reinventing the wheel and trust me, it's just as strange and pointless as all the trends before it - Jazzercize, Ephedra, Spandex, Thigh Master, etc.      Do you Fitbit? Think way back to before you got an apple watch; there was this super primitive activity tracker called a Fitbit. Now being a hipster, you are called upon to embrace retro trends, especially in fashion and technology. You do this to define yourself as a member of the counter culture and to show the world that while you are loaded enough to buy a gold-plated Apple watch, you chose to instead wear a Fitbit dug out of the dump
