Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
ahh Poetry from eras gone show why our words are powerful. They inspire new creations decades and centuries later. It connects us to the past, present and future. One day I would like to design Poetry, but for now I do not know what to say. Time will give me a stronger voice...
ieri notte mi sono svegliato alle 3, ho acceso il telefono e ho finito per installare il browser di Qwant per iOS, che è poi una versione semplificata di Firefox. Sono passate solo 17 ore, durante le quali ho anche dormito, guidato, camminato 17 km in montagna fino a 3.000 metri di quota, mangiato un paio di volte e…
Tina was telling me how in high school, her teacher asked her "what are you the 0.01% at?" Although she didn't know it at the time, she spent her whole summer thinking about it and realized that not many people she knew were able to read through 2 books in a day, synthesize it and add original thoughts on top of it.…
The word relationship does not always mean that a love Or a marriage relationship, it is also a healthy friendship and a sibling also a work colleague relationship. Gone are the days when we used to sit for hours together and yap about all things in the world and still enjoy it a lot. These days hardly any one does…
Por um bom tempo na minha vida, tive dificuldade de colocar o pé para fora da zona de conforto. Mudanças eram assustadoras e eu gostava de permanecer aonde estivesse. Afinal, ali já estava, por quê sair? Ainda bem que o tempo passa, e que a vida sempre me forçou a sair dessa zona confortável. Ela sempre pôs pessoas no…
AHH. There are many objects in the world. this makes me wonder how do i decide on what are the things that i desire? i thought long about the answer; it must speak with me. i find the following quote very true "As soon as you put on one garment, it speaks to your personality" by Virgil Abloh. objects may seem…
I've always been fascinated by things that don't belong together in any context. Monkeys and forget-me-nots. Pencils and wheels. Embers and bubbles. They don't, have not, and will not belong together in any plausible context. I suppose the magic lies in bringing unlikely beings together, a trope I absolutely adore. It…
L. Frank Baum’s book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which appeared in 1900, is often held to be a parable for the Populist campaign of William Jennings Bryan, who twice ran for president on the Free Silver platform—vowing to replace the gold standard with a bimetallic system that would allow the free creation of silver…
ahh reflecting on the most recent photographs from James Webb Space Telescope published by NASA provides a unique sense of scale to our existence. we are so small! but there is one thing that may be more expansive that our universe. the collective creativity of humanity is forever expanding at an increasing pace. i…
I woke up today with anger. I’m just so angry and so frustrated. Nelson told me about how he reacted to Pandu saying that your girlfriend is only not on your side, don’t talk. He was so upset then that I wasn’t on his side. And now he realises that he never thought about it from my side. That unless I saw the logic,…
O dia está chuvoso e barulhento por conta do jogo do Brasil que rola em breve. Acordei às 7h, mas enrolei na cama com meus livros novos até às 8h. No café da manhã, a minha mãe contou que sonhou comigo. Estávamos num cafezal. Um homem se aproximou e falou para ela "Sua filha é escritora". Minha mãe respondeu "Você…
Oh Hi! This seems so cool! 🤩 I love it, simple and clean. Oh it counts words not letters. Means,ifIdon’tUseSpace,itCountsJustOneWordLOL(thisIsStill1word!HaHa). Very interesting. I love this font, it makes me feel like I’m coding 😂
Hola querido lector, lectora. Estoy a las 3:31 am de un domingo desde un lugar en México escribiendo este texto. Gracias por leerme, por suscribirte. Desde hace varios meses he estado buscando un lugar dónde escribir. Twitter me parece un lugar al que ya no merece la pena invertir mucho tiempo. En los últimos años…
I'm not saying I've discovered the secret to happiness, but daily fiber supplements and a bidet is working out great for me.
it's better to spend time alone than to be bored by people. after the norwegians left, i haven't really enjoyed hanging out with other people our age because all they want to talk about is BOAT PROJECTS and i sit there thinking about how they're wasting my time and how i wish i could go read and write but when you're…
Como fui parar no norte do Peru? Para minha alegria ou não, estou aqui. Confesso que tive dias bem difíceis. Dias de solidão, e não de solitude. Questionei minha própria decisão várias vezes. Mas não vivo eu só de agora. Estou construindo a vida a longo prazo. Estou construindo a minha liberdade geográfica, emocional…
Digitalization has become an epoch: a legend of our time, promising leverage, access, and a cure for systemic inequities. Policymakers and companies alike present it as a universal solution: once technology is introduced, progress will follow. And in many cases, it has; making industries more efficient, records more…
Problem: One of the biggest issues for the new internet of Web3 and the Metaverse is how we 'own' virtual assets. We've seen it already with NFTs: "So what if you own it? I can right click to own it too" Copying the image gives you exactly the same object the owner has, with exactly the same utility. Now imagine…
I’m Nanaji of Akhil and Abhi. My grandson, Akhil, made me start writing this blog, to share my memories and events of my daily life.
I keep looking here, but there's nothing here. I can't look away. I come here without thinking. When I realize I've been lassoed again, I feel shame for it. And then I stay, as though I am not the one who is feeling that shame. My mind is divided against itself. Some day, I will look back and realize that this place…
Today, while I was stuck in a traffic jam, I saw a car throw something out the window. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but as I got closer, I realized it was trash—a can of beer. My mind started to explode with questions and thoughts: Why didn’t that person save the trash until they got home to throw it away? Why…
When ever we talk about ARM and Performance. Most discussions, whether that is on Twitter, HN or Reddit immediately jump into an Apple Fanboy thread. And pointing out how far behind the other ARM cores are. But is that really the case? Apple A16 has a GB5 of 1870 @ 3.6Ghz. Running at close to 5W. On the same TSMC 4nm,…
- Not a second brain - Not a full-blown PK - Not even a draft space for articles It's a place for mindful consumption, storage and meaning making. The system is inspired by Justin Mikolay's note-taking system, that he considers as a key part to his creative process 3 steps: 1. Reading 2. Thinking (aka note-taking) 3.…
The word 'green' or 'sustainable' has no clear definition in most contexts let alone in the construction industry. Outside of complex certification criteria set by bodies such as LEED internationally or the Green Building Council in India, there is no shared understanding of what makes a building green. I wanted to…
This line from any James Bond movie seems to be a part of the franchise and has sustained over the last six decades. In fact, it's safe to say it's a part of Mr. Bond's identity. Therefore when I was recently gifted a bottle of vermouth, I wanted to experiment making martinis and I went down my own rabbit hole of why…
faz tempo que eu não venho aqui. isso não é uma cobrança, tampouco um pedido de desculpas. a vida acontece e os pratinhos vão caindo, normal. desde a minha ultima visita, consegui terminar mais coisas da reforma e trazer mais uma doguinha pra casa. desta vez, a minha dog há 9 anos. incrível como sua jovialidade e…
I have been feeling slightly uneasy about how to spend my time and days. I have a lot of work to finish and tasks to do, and I do not know where to start. The feeling of having too much to do, no idea where to begin but at the same time not having any hard deadlines to help me take decisions is happening. I am unable…
Since the beginning of the web, people have been making personal websites. But when someone makes a personal website, it is forever an exhibition to the public and cannot truly be a private, authentic space. Recently, the concept of a “digital garden” has become popular. It’s like a personal website but welcomes a…
Today, in the book store I couldn't stop myself from looking at art and design books, from interior design, botanical sketches to oil paintings, my eyes just felt like a magnet towards them, they were full of potential for design inspirations, right now I have a huge urge to create something, make projects, but I…
"Is it nice, my preciousss? Is it juicy? Is it scrumptiously crunchable?" my friend said he'd been wanting to read clarice lispector because he'd seen some of her quotes floating around and he'd enjoyed them i like that...using quotes like ice cream samples
Well, I asked for a piano keyboard and Santa delivered. Sitting right next to me is a second-to-cheapest-I-could-find 88-key keyboard with a stand and seat. I have been using FlowKey about 30 minutes a night. When I was between eight years old, I took piano lessons. I quite after three months. Learning the piano is…
We're so obsessed with the idea of permanence--we now fully believe in it. So much so, that it might as well be a new religion. Apart from words like 'forever' and 'endless' being used to describe our 'undying' affection/dislike for one another we've started to manifest permanence in other ways. Mostly by taking life…
I never cease to wonder which part of us summons ourselves from the great and long distance of eternity, swim through the foggy, thick, kaleidoscope of our dreams only to wake up and wonder about what we're all doing here. Each night, before bed, my 7yo prepares for her nighttime journeys by choosing from among her…
You'd be surprised by how many people are in the same situation as you. Last year, before graduating, I decided to study for a second degree. A lot of worries went through my head: "I'm behind," "I'm going to be the oldest," and so on. Many of these thoughts were just excuses to stay in my comfort zone, but I pushed…
I was other day randomly thinking about the way we spend our time on weekends. We have around 52 weeks in a year and for most of us it is 2 days off so effectively we have 104 days for ourselves. If we take out effectively 2 hours for our productivity schedule in a day on a weekend, then we have around 208 hours to…
Do things you think are stupid but other people swear by. Maybe you’re the stupid one. - Nat Eliason I fought the recommendation to journaling. Now I know everyone should. If you want to start small with a journaling habit, start with gratitude. Here are the benefits you can expect. Identifying what you have, allows…
I was reading a post by one of the Nicheless users about how he became a Corporate Lawyer by fluke. This reminded me how life doesn't make sense if we look forward. But it makes sense when we look backward and connect all the dots. I started curating and writing a newsletter in October 2020. I didn't have any plans…
A great bath feels like a tonic. Two baths in a day, and I bet you will complain about life a little less. Have you also noticed how your mind suddenly calms down near a water body? Listening to the ripples of river water or the rhythmic crashing of sea waves brings a sense of tranquility to our ever-racing minds. I…
Pari hey. Let’s be real. Are you feeling bad that Shivani is dating Nelson? And if so, why? I think yes, I am. And maybe it’s because I’m feeling like her liking nelson enough to date him is like her taking his side? This person, whom I carry so much grudge and dislike and disrespect for, my own best friend (Who I was…
hj é feriado aqui onde eu moro acordei 5h da manhã com a cachorra gritando com o dog dela filhote. bati a janela, coloquei protetor auricular e voltei a dormir com a promessa de que acordaria às 7h pra tomar meu remédio contra infecção urinária que entrou por umas das janelas de estresse. veja, colocar protetor…
Sorry. I admit it's tough to 'accept' you into the spaces I frequent. Some of you I've muted, some I've just outright not talked to... and it's not really anything you did, I just personally don't want to be involved in your life anymore. Wherever you're going is not where I'll be. I'm happy for you, but we're just…
Journaling is the ultimate in self-care. Self-care is taking action to do what you need for your physical and mental health. Keep in mind your physical and mental health are intertwined. It’s challenging to have one without the other. Journaling is the most valuable tool for self-care. Writing a conversation with…
there is no such thing as a promiscuous man unless he's gay but my question to society is: is it so bad to be promiscuous? can we treat it as another form of adventurousness? you know what is bad? unhappy marriages abusive relationships we push people to be in relationships so much that we forget that most of us are…
He began as most men do, not knowing he had to become anything. As a boy, he thought it was enough to feel. To wonder. To speak beautifully and be heard. But the world taught him otherwise gently at first, then all at once. He learned that wonder doesn’t fill a room, and beauty doesn’t hold it up. That silence wins…
This emptiness I feel. Every song I hear leads me back to you. I want to get you off my mind. Trust me I'm trying. The romance was short but the feeling is strong. Maybe it's for the best. Maybe I missed an angel. Maybe I dodged a bullet. I can't say. You should be my queen. It feels right to have you adorn that…
One thing I hope to use this medium for is getting the phone out of my hand so much. Do. Do. Do. That's what I want. To do. But instead, I scroll. Incessantly. For some reason I feel like something miraculous is just around the next flip of the thumb. Sometimes, yes, something interesting does come up, but rarely is…
Beneath vast open skies, Mountains stare and Oceans rise, A view serene, so complete, No walls, bounds or goals to meet.... Yet man, in folly, stakes his claim, Assigns to beauty, price and name, As if the earth, confined by gold Will reveal its beauty for the price its sold The lake reflects the moonlit glows, Waves…
Rights are like muscles. They must be exercised regularly to prevent atrophy. They are earned through hard work and preserved through constant maintenance. As with any maintenance work, the cost of neglect can lead to sudden unexpected catastrophic consequences, particularly so when one can least afford to address…
