"The person who carefully designs their daily routine goes further than the person who negotiates with themselves every day. Let inertia work for you" - a Tiny Thought from Farnam Street: https://fs.blog/brain-food/october-6-2024/
Loving this post by Seth Godin the other day. Inspired me to sharpen some of my tools, which have been even more delightful to use since https://seths.blog/2024/09/sharp-tools/ #emacs

We desperately need to start a Slow Software movement. High quality, intentionally designed, low defect software done at a quarter of the pace for the same price. Because we've been destroying the mental health of developers for the last quarter century, and what do we have to show for it but a giant mess?

After four and a half months and almost 34,000 stitches, I’ve finished my cross-stitch 1-bit version of Hokusai’s Great Wave. It’s big, 25”x 17” (pen in the first photo for scale). Thanks to @hypertalking for letting me use his wonderful original 1-bit art. #NerdStitch
"There’s no such thing as work life balance. There’s simply life. And you spend part of your life at work." - Seth Godin
“Entropy applies to every part of our lives. ... Understanding entropy leads to a radical change in the way we see the world. Ignorance of it is responsible for many of our biggest mistakes and failures. We cannot expect anything to stay the way we leave it. To maintain our health, relationships, careers, skills, knowledge, societies, and possessions requires never-ending effort and vigilance. Disorder is ... our default. Order is always artificial and temporary.”
Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Audio Poem)

See, it was necessary to kill Napster because if musicians were going to be robbed of any profits for media, it should be corporations driving the getaway car

For #ValentinesDay, here’s an old poem; as old as they get, in fact.
It’s considered to be the world’s oldest surviving love poem, written 1.5 million years ago by one of our earliest ancestors, homo unrequitus.

"The true work of art leads us from that which exists only once and never again, i.e. the individual, to that which exists perpetually and time and time again in innumerable manifestations, the pure form or Idea;" - Schopenhauer, On the Suffering of the World
"Just because you’ve been using your time in a particular way for a long time doesn’t mean you need to keep doing that." - Seth Godin, https://seths.blog/2024/01/the-best-possible-use/
