Dorion Mode - A blog by Robinson Dorion.

For our September Junto we're returning to Teka Pizza.

We've been inspired to create the Junto from reading Benjamin Franklin, whose Junto was a group of twelve that met in private and were dedicated to mutual betterment. JWRD's Junto is also dedicated to mutual betterment, but doesn't have headcount limits in principle and the worthy public is welcome to attend. The goal is to get interesting, resourceful people together on a regular basis and have someone present on an important topic that, if applied, will make the attendees more resourceful individually and strengthen the coordination within the group.

Past topics include :

• How and why Bitcoin is the strongest asset protection instrument conceived to date.
• Identity, Money and Banking in the Internet Age.
• The fundamentals of Bitcoin.
• Why you need passwords and how to make them strong.
• How to be a person online : the RSA algorithm and Web of Trust.
• Practical and Elite Chat Protocols.
