Someone showed me by creasing a napkin and folding it, that you could only fold it about seven times. They weren't really making eye contact. Nor did they talk much more about this, and the conversation meandered into something more about the weather, and whether I was going to do...

I am once again on a train   working on a presentation powerpoint , but also almost forgot to write. Been thinking lately as I have been forced to write some word vomit or small notes before the day deadline that I need to just write earlier. I was also thinking...

In chemistry for important and human reasons a lot of wait times for experiments are over night. We do this in biology too, you can even incubate some things over the weekend. Results usually work, and in many cases this doesn't matter.

But recently there have been some studies that sort...

I flew
past fields and oak trees and stinging nettle
There was a badger or something too hard to see

In effort to promote more deep work , I've started making my phone harder to use, and in a sense make it dumber. I recently stumbled across some actual products offering dumb or simple phones, but just setting up my phone to make it harder to get it seems good...

tired eyes half awake or just alive on caffeine
I summon something of whats left to stare at the screen
incremental progress on something important 

Behind me the door or the big window is open to world
And cool breeze flows in and out 
The room has the calmness of friends sleeping after...

Recently I learned that as men age they produce sperm with longer telomeres.
