I wouldn't say immediately or even regularly, but I do like to catch up on them every so often. Short food for thought.

The transition to longer daylight during winter solstice in the less-connected, less-commercialized times made for more grounded local, personal engagements. Writing that letter, making that treat, giving that gift, sharing that moment during the colder, darker times. Many of these individual productions are no longer created. Lost and replaced by layers of conveniences and alternative social interactions developed with each generation. Piled on through centuries of commerce. No wonder its evergreen.

For that time of year, as an aging introvert, the darkest days remind me to keep working on my one-on-one engagements.

  56:2656:28 They cut the forest, burn the forest.
  56:2856:30 And then they run water through the sand.
  56:3056:33 And the sand particles have bits of gold in it, not chunks.
  56:3356:37 But just little almost microscopic flecks of gold.
  56:3756:40 And then they use the mercury to bind that.
  56:4056:41 And then they burn off the mercury.
  56:4156:43 And that vapor goes up into the clouds.
  56:4356:46 So just like everything else, it's all connected down there
  56:4656:47 and then rains down into the rivers.
  56:4756:50 And so the people in the region are having birth defects

Yeah real great for navigating around trees. And avoiding other natural plants that grow in the middle of grasses allowing them to flower and provide food for pollinators/arthropods.

This year I'm looking at getting a peening hammer and related tools to improve the blade. The one I have is quite soft. A second blade would be nice for thicker black-berry, bramble type stuff.

Looking forward to using it on fresh, green growth this spring since I had received mid-summer when the grass was already tall and dry.

I'm going to have to dig into Wendy Carlos more and will thanks to this thread and comments. When I came across the above I must have gotten sidetracked with Laurie Spiegel.

I'm not sure if it's this episode or some other documentary, but I remember seeing the food experiment as well. Where wolves would not look to humans for help.

Not including war and religion.

Not to rant, but here I go anyways. There's too much non-important noise here. Clicks and comments only get you so far. I'm thinking a "Was this article helpful to you?" type rating. Were you glad you read this article or is it TMZ-like content of the programmer/tech/start-up world?

I'm also tired of the "this is what helped me get things done" life process improvement / self help type articles.

A daily to-do or grocery list is a good use-case, but for social updates it's quite wasteful.

It's all about execution. I've seen the other one before and considering the basic style of it (newspaper page with multiple articles layout), it wasn't pretty enough to make me want to install. I really like the look of this app and look forward to trying it out.

Also, kudos for him getting the domain. I figured it would have been taken already.

In this day in age there are hundreds of options available whether it's backing up online, storing on an FTP, emailing it to yourself, or copying to CDs, DVDs, thumbdrives and storing it elsewhere (security notwithstanding). The last step would have even worked onsite because people are less likely to steal the little stuff like this.

I'd be interested in knowing what type of messages people would send with the free method vs paid. You wouldn't send a birthday/congratulations note with ads, but maybe something witty/humorous to a friend. A semi-physical poke, as lame as it sounds.

You may have a list of 10-15 projected features based on the direction you see the product going. However, once your customers begin using your product, their ideas may drastically change your product. For better or worse.

That's all part of the fun of running a business. There will be days where you'll be on top of your game and feel all your ideas will make your business a success. Other times you'll feel everything you know is wrong. The proof is in the pudding and you get to choose the ingredients.
