Shelly Mondavi
Shelly Mondavi had quit drinking coffee long time ago. Her late husband Rob kept drinking it though. After he passed she returned to having cups occassionally, because it made it feel like he was still here.
She had been thinking more about the midwest. Thought about their decades lived inΒ Indiana...

Notes Following a Walk
College Ghost Towns
If you walk on Jordan Ave. south of campus, look north and you can see the university library from across town. The elevation of the terrain and no trees covering the path, seeing it will amaze you at how far a horizon can actually be. Usually I don't notice this...
Now that it's begun
Often we talk quantify macro issues in measures like total cost in GPD. When I think of that measure I immediately imagine disasters like COVID or the war on drugs or the mental health pandemic. One thing that saddens me is that I believe that the U.S is starting 2021...

After Four Weeks
I'm happy to see we have a tiny crew of regulars here. I actually look forward to coming here to see what discourse has brewed while i was gone. It feels like a little corner of home* that I remember 200WAD feeling like.

No Big Wins
I believe that big wins don't exist. Every big win we admire is actually yet another small step along a journey of a life that has been driving a road of small wins consistently through time. We simply cast such highly visible victories along such a continuum as big because...
Black and White
Some things are black and white, and the switch happens real quick. The person that you got into an argument with can go from being a sentient human with their entire life -- schedules, relationships, goals, dreams, etc -- to being a corpse implicating you as murderer in a matter...
Upcoming Features of Adagia
I was planning on creating a section for the site where people could suggest/critique/discuss/debate/etc features for this site. But
jasonleow
just released something that I think would work better for that.

Small Wins and Atomic Habits in Video Games
I think that video games make the prime example of effectively designing for small wins.
Video Games are so effective in this that they can take someone unable to manage simple things in life -- cooking, cleaning, etc -- and transform them into a dedicated, effective human-- in the scope of...

Journey being Destination -- Stardew Valley
This winter break my girlfriend started playing Stardew Valley a farm-simulation + RPG combo that I've purposely kept my distance from because of how addicting it appeared. I have so many takeaways from observing how she and her brother play this game but in this post I examine the journey...
Learning from failures -- Nazi Germany's Hunger Plan
Just finished reading the Wikipedia page for Nazi Germany's Hunger Plan*, and I just decided on a new personal approach to learning history. I've always assumed that history was best learned through the successes. In school we learned about who the presidents were. Who the emperors were and how they...
Notes Following a Walk
Cold City
I'm somebody who likes to pride themselves on taking walks no matter the weather. I failed this time though. The air felt colder than dry ice against my skin.
