@finity@bookwyrm.social actual review...
Ritchie is an awesome swimmer, falls deep into alcoholism while he makes his way through the best schools in the country failing his way into Hollywood legal practices, goes broke while maintaining a lifestyle capable of supporting a wedding party with famous attendees and performers and custom building their own house near napa, and fortunately the universe shows him how to travel worldwide for racing eating 100 advocadoes a day and taking meetings on the side of the road during rides, meeting with the occasional guru. AND YOU CAN TOO!
He doesn't actually say that last part which I appreciate and find redeeming. Regardless of the silver spoons he's able to find along the way, it's pretty remarkable.
And certainly I've found much of his philosophy fits my experience also. Although I'm unlikely to ever do an ironman, let alone one on each Hawaiian island.

Jenn is so right. I've already been recommending this book to my coworkers - we're in government, doing software and related stuff. She's so right and her suggestions point us towards how to get better.

@hacks4pancakes I've been curious as to what the next set of culture looks like. I hope it's inspiring and fun.
This was my first year at Def Con, but the art around the con seemed to be diverging from the stereotype a bit. I'm not sure exactly what piece of culture that might have called back to, with the produce and nature bits especially - some seemed classic cyberpunk.
@GaryInfoSec @hacks4pancakes There's still a cocktail party at the reservoir.
@dave_cochran the binary read - making the theoretical practical since 1992
