Weirdo's Weekly Update — 12 September, 2022

Leo and Maja settle back into Bangkok's Phra Khanong neighborhood after time in Europe, with Leo focused on the New World Guardians NFT project and the landmark Ethereum Merge from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake. September brings heavy Bangkok rainfall while both maintain impressive streaks in meditation and language learning.

What are we working on?

Leo and Maja are refocusing on their work routines after time in Europe. Leo concentrates on the NFT project New World Guardians, enhancing the Weirdo.Rocks website and content, plus conducting cryptocurrency research.

Cryptos

The Ethereum merge represents a significant milestone this week, transitioning from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake consensus. This upgrade is considered one of the most extensive in Ethereum's history. Additional resources about this transition are available through Ethereum's official upgrade documentation.

Traveling

Bangkok serves as their home for approximately six weeks, specifically in the Phra Khanong neighborhood near Ekkamai train station. They're exploring local food vendors and coffee shops while settling in.

September marks the rainy season, with 2022 experiencing particularly heavy rainfall. Afternoon and evening downpours are common, as humorously documented in their Instagram content.

Something to Think About

The authors share an inspirational perspective: "Inspiration usually comes during work, rather than before it" — emphasizing that beginning projects with imperfect plans often yields better results than prolonged deliberation.
