There exists a well-known relationship between identity and action . So much of how you and I navigate our lives comes back to identity . If, in your internal world, you think of yourself as someone who is passionate about fitness, you will be more likely to get to the gym or go on that run. If you think of yourself as an effective and persistent problem solver, you’ll eagerly jump into crea

I don’t want to be a part of an “us” that makes a “them” of the world’s most vulnerable people. ~ John Green in Why Are Poor Countries Poor?

I just wanted to quickly highlight a really cool thing that happened in the world this week. Whether you know it or not, there’s a pretty decent chance you have come across something created by brothers John and Hank Green at some point. They are insanely prolific siblings, both having written several books, running several companies, building educational content that is being used around th

A friend showed me this video yesterday. I really, really appreciated it. Seems like a reminder that’s needed in a lot of places around the world in this season.

Today marks two months since the February 6th earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria. I’ve been finding it difficult to believe that. It feels like just few days ago that I woke up to dozens of messages from people around the world checking in to see if we were safe. It feels like just a few days ago that we filled up vehicles with as many supplies as we could fit, and drove the 12+ hour route to

I’ve been pondering generosity a lot lately. There’s a lot going on in the world to make one feel lack . Natural disasters, economic crisis, war, huge accidents resulting in ecological devastation, bank collapses, unemployment threats and spikes due to new unprecedented technologies… And that was just these last 3 months. It can be tempting to become stingy in the face of such s

We all know the rules — don’t cross the line ; stay in line ; don’t get out of line . Whether it came from our education, our parents, or just the factory-based industrial economies that our cultures have reformed themselves around these last 200 years, we know that to be a good worker (and, maybe, a good person ?) means to respect the line . But, the world is changing. And with it cha

I listened to a talk today that reminded me of a valuable piece of wisdom I heard years ago, which I thought was worth pondering and sharing. The talk told the story of Bill Atkinson, who was a designer and developer at Apple throughout the 1980’s. He was responsible for an innovation that has made its way to billions of computers around the world. A quick summary of that story:

I’ve always tended to like math more than the average person. I was less a fan of arithmetic — the labour intensive process of adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing our way to an answer to a question that a calculator could figure out instantly. More so, I’ve tended to find myself intrigued by the tools that math gives us to help us understand the world better. Sometimes that i

You already know how to do it. You’ve done it plenty before: that gift, that kind word, that “going out of your way” to improve someone’s day and show them they’re loved. Feels great to be on either the giving or recieving end of, and it makes the world just a little bit better. So, why not purposefully do something to make someone’s day today?

How long would the devices you use day-to-day survive without internet access? We live in an internet-saturated world, so that question might feel silly. “My devices are basically always connected to the internet; why would I care how long they could last without it?” But, there are a few reasons that might be worth thinking about it. There are lots of situations where having a device

Own Your Feed: Save Your Attention (and, maybe, the World?) with RSS (opens on the publisher’s site)
TL;DR: RSS is the best way to follow content online. My feed is here . Try something like Feedly if you’re new to RSS, though the options for how RSS can make your relationship with online media more healthy and meaningful are countless. It’s been over 2 years since I deleted of all my social media accounts , and with them, all the attention sucking newsfeeds and updates that came with

In the deep-diving of the esoteric world of technology as I do, I often come across tools which the vast majority of people will never need or make use of . I tend to note those tools and log them away for personal use, as it is not uncommon for weird situations to pop up where I need some ultra-niche tool I’ve stumbled across in the past. Other times, some of those tools I encounter could m

Lots of issues in the world today seem to come back to the “race to the bottom”. Creating the lowest prices and most convenience for consumers… Even if that comes at the cost of the lives of children . Taking as much attention as possible… Even if that results in nations destablizing , and teen suicide rates skyrocketing . Getting as deeply as possible ingrained into peop

Frodo: I wish none of this had happened. Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil… And that is an encouraging thought.

It’s much better to be in a bad place but working in a good direction , than to be in a good place but heading in a bad direction . Your current situation may feel like the most significant and important thing in the world right now. Much more important, however, is what you choose to do with the moment you’ve been given. Optimizing for forward momentum is almost always more useful tha

I’m not a big fan of WhatsApp. While it does indeed work well as a messaging app, it also feeds into Facebook/Meta’s technological hegemony, isn’t open source, tracks who you message and what you do on your phone , and does some other creepy stuff that I’m not a fan of. But, WhatsApp is also currently the most popular messaging platform in the world , 1 and a majority of pe

Years ago I came to a conclusion I return to often: People tend to act reasonably in accordance with the world they’ve be presented with. In this age of polarization and anger (and now, war), I find that phrase all the more potent. Who is someone who is doing something you disagree with? It’s important to remember that their worldview generally feels cohesive and sound to them according to t

Download Audio Blessed are those who do not jump to conclusions, for they will see the world with unveiled eyes. Blessed are those who humbly assume they’re not right about everything. They will inherit understanding. Blessed are those who react with sadness instead of outrage, for their tears are seeds that will grow into trees of joy. Blessed are those who love vehemently, unconditionally, and i

A giant web collage assembled from the remains of thousands of GeoCities pages, where planets spin, guestbooks wait to be signed, fan pages remain under construction, somebody still really likes dolphins, and clicking almost anything can send you back into somebody's forgotten corner of the old web.

Agents are here, there, and everywhere, growing in numbers at a pace between fast and breakneck, generating or completing work at some other velocity, and poised to change the world entirely or, like, not much at all. Something must be done.
