IRLXD: Thoughts on Electronic Communication (Pt 1)

In just the last week I have received messages through texts, emails, Facebook, Instagram, Slack and LinkedIn. Those are just some of the inboxes I have to check regularly. There’s a million ways to be in communication these days and an equal amount of ways to miss a communication.  So forgive...

IRLXD.com Hits 250,000 Words!

Today's post puts the site at over 250,000 published words. I started the blog a little over two years ago and have posted at least twice a week ever since. I have a list of over 1000 blog topic ideas on a separate spreadsheet and am only at about post #300, so I could go for quite a while before I...

Blogging Again

It's 11:22pm on Friday Oct 12st. I almost forgot to blog today. I have slowly been falling off the horse in the last 4 months due to Eureka Room work. I've been using posts I had drafted already, making Eureka Room updates, and not really putting as much into it as I had been. My next post, next Tue...

Eureka Room Update 10/18/22

This weekend I didn't go into The Eureka Room at all. Chelsea handled all the bookings and I worked at home on the bookkeeping and other tasks. I also spent some time with friends, which I hadn't done on a weekend in months. It was weird to be social again. Frustrated with my website's ability to be...

Eureka Room Update 10/14/22

Last night, Thursday, I left Chelsea to run the room on her own for the first time. That was a milestone for me. I don't have to be there for every single showing. This will give me a lot of my time and sanity back. The current plan is that she'll take much of the weekend showings and I'll do the we...

Eureka Room Update 10/11/22

My first Eureka Room employee, Chelsea, started last weekend. She picked up on everything quickly and has been doing a great job. She did a couple showings on her own already and the plan is to have her work some shifts this weekend so that I can finally get a break. I don't have any doubt she'll do...

The Museum of Now There's Different Lights

This is not so much a museum of itself, but more of a general idea. I wouldn't be surprised that it's been done, but if it has I think it could be more widespread because I've never heard of it. I would like to see the lighting on artworks and exhibits change. Instead of the usual intense white ligh...

The Museum of Destiny

For reasons unclear to me, most humans really like the feeling of having a destiny. Perhaps not a "I'm the chosen one" destiny, but more of a mild "this is how I think things will play out because that is what I think is supposed to happen". There's something alluring about it. Maybe it gives life m...

Eureka Room Update 9/29/22

I've excited that I've hired someone to help run the shows. They have been doing a very similar job for the last few years and really enjoy doing customer service, so I think it will be a great win for everyone. There's a bunch of paperwork I have to figure out now, since I haven't hired anyone exce...
