Curious mind. Creative soul. Just a guy with thoughts. Experiencing life.

Sharing some thoughts: ‘The Comfort of Delusion.’

Interested to hear your perspective. 🙏🏽

We recently designed the identity for NGNb (@ngnbtoken), a tokenised naira.

We studied pre-colonial African currency systems, where a cowrie only became money once it was pierced.

The result: two dots. One solid, one pierced. Naira and NGNb.

A few snippets. More soon.

The Geist Serif font came just in time.

Recently used it for @michael_adeyeri’s website, and it’s actually pretty good.

@vercel Hmmm sexy

[Derek Kanu @blarc_]

@precious_m_e lol…. I just noticed a contradiction.

AI will tell you it cares about your feelings in one moment, but as soon as you get into real emotional complexity, it suddenly remembers it has no feelings at all.

If you needed a sign here’s the evidence: AI conversations are mainly intellectual.

It’s funny how the real value is people, but money gets the spotlight.

[Derek Kanu @blarc_]

Do not spell part backwards, it’s a trap.

Anybody notice, it used to be “think outside the box” ?

But after the introduction of AI, the box has become a bubble.

This post is not about shapes.

@JordanBelonwu In my experience, theory and practice never line up perfectly.

A strategy built for one ecosystem won’t necessarily translate cleanly to another.
Strategy should leave room for the realities of execution, especially when the ecosystem itself is different.

But that’s a theory.

Jazz music on + chess. com open, peak calmness.

@raymondokoro_ And what tone is “Natural for all”?

[Derek Kanu @blarc_]

@precious_m_e @AndrewYang “Not like us” lol.

Speed, storage, and pattern recall aren’t the definition of smartness…..

That’s capacity, not judgment.

[Derek Kanu @blarc_]

@raymondokoro_ I hear you, bro. But from my experience, roughly 90% of the feedback you get is noise. The real signal is probably closer to 10%.

It’s really about having the clarity to know what actually improves the work and what to ignore.

The new Green Lantern series just works.

And kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan? Perfect casting.

I made a digital fidget spinner using Vortex Math; a mathematical concept associated with Nikola Tesla that, when plotted on a circle, creates these intricate, mesmerizing patterns. Some call it “the key to the universe.”

I came across the concept in a random YouTube video and thought it would be fun to turn it into an app.

So I did.

Check it out. It’s FREE!
