The character development in this series was really wonderful. The show takes most of the first season finding itself, but from there on out it was a fantastic series.

It’s not a “quick fix” but meditation really does help build focus, attention, and awareness. If that sounds like it would be impossibly hard, you can definitely start small with something like 10 breaths where you really just pay attention

This shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. The parent comment may be referring to the growing number of “long haulers” who have “recovered” yet seem to be suffering from chronic symptoms. [1] Th

HotWired changed my life. Was so inspired by their style, and the way their aesthetic grew from the limitations of the medium: https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/gallery/hotwired-1996

So, I consider myself very fortunate because we have three little kids and it’s been a built-in social dynamic (if exhausting at times). That said, the garden has been one of the most calming, literally grounding things since this began. We

I think it would have been worse; maybe not immediately, but over the long term I think it would be catastrophic. The movie theater is on fire — how long can you keep it open? Keeping it open means it’s harder to keep the fire under control

If there were ever a time to spend, this is it. If people didn’t have to worry about being made whole for the duration of the lockdown, we could have locked down sooner, and much harder, and stood a chance at cutting this thing off at the k

The lockdowns? The linked interview doesn’t mention lockdowns once — it talks about the effect of the pandemic . They go even further to say that it’s not so much money that’s the concern right now — it’s the supply chain. Critical, essent

I've said from the beginning that the Coronavirus situation is a lot like a plane crash – early errors, yet plenty of time to wait around to watch the consequences play out, with potentially not a lot to do to change the course of thin

If I’m not mistaken, this was roughly the price point of an SGI Indigo II workstation — in 1995 dollars. Seems to be targeting a similar niche. Machines like the Onyx were even more, if I remember correctly — could be north of $100k. A lice

Just from a more farcical standpoint, the idea of one country attacking another via dance trends feels like a page out of Zoolander.

I agree with the other comments that life should have a flow element to it, and that you can accidentally suck the joy out of it with too much structure. On the other hand, some people have too little structure, and are miserable because of

What a great blog. Ended up on the SGI Indy page, and omg — that startup chime. Never knew.

I love that permaculture is getting so much interest here. (I shared a link to Bill Mollison’s book early during shelter-and-place and it seemed to really resonate.) Cool to see people wanting to apply its principles to areas like technolog

Sheep is what I’d like to get eventually. I LOVE that Hawaii’s giant solar farm incorporated sheep into their design, as the method of keeping the panels clear of vegetation.

Lol, that’s great. Would love to have grazing animals in the future but we’re not quite ready to take care of them yet. Also involves decisions on fencing etc. I have been warned a LOT about goats and their ability to destroy everything, an

Most of it is really just mowing the prairie grass. The brush has largely been mechanically removed, but the mowing is meant to suppress weeds as well as annuals which try relentlessly to suppress the native vegetation. Reduces need for spr

What I want: an autonomous, EV brush mower to take care of the scarily steep slopes of our native upland prairie restoration project.

+1 to The Land Institute. To give others context, perennials require much less input than their annual cousins, both in terms of labor and also petrochemicals. The other big benefit is carbon sequestration. Perennials typically root far dee

Why such an antagonistic reply? An honest reading of my comment is that I’m speaking primarily of black millionaires — while leaving the door open that there are other groups also deserving of exemptions. It’s fine to disagree — but the ton

I hope that we could carve out exemptions for first-generation wealth. Reparations may never happen in the US, but if a family went from slavery to wealth in a few generations, perhaps the least we could do is exempt them from the inherit

I have fond memories of when the first OS X CDs arrived at our college computer lab, and we installed them on a PowerMac G4. The aqua UI felt so futuristic, and it matched the hardware!

Thank you :) For the portraiture I’m using the iPhone Pro’s True Depth camera via an off-the-shelf app called “Capture” by Standard Cyborg.

Good article. Have to say though, taste is subjective, but good lord those monitors are about as elegantly designed as a Rockstar Energy drink.
