It seems obvious that just creating a new technique to view the stars always comes before new discoveries in astronomy. Although, I don't know the history of specific technological advances, its easy to picture. Before a telescope you couldn't really see the surface of the moon, then bam, wow what...

Recently I cam across an article about scientific stagnation, well the article isn't just about science, but all creative areas and unfortunately, they are all stagnating. In the movie industry we are only making re-runs, and in science we are only publishing incremental ideas. Both though, because of data and...

The thing was the case was for the wrong phone. She pointed at the right one but I just chose one I liked, it is pretty right. So nice, I mean we can just pop back down and get another one, next weekend, or the weekend after next. Well can...

To get back in the process of daily notes. Not just on adagia but in general, I used to keep a small journal in my pocket and write down notes of my day, something funny, or science ideas. I stopped this, my pockets were too full. Or I am not...

A full week I have been writing some in private some in public, and it feels nice and rewarding. Like looking back at a running week, or something like that. I imagine its also how people feel when they have a garden. Something I admire about one of my housemates...

Today I remember something BillStockham and I talked a long time about. Google x. Google x is a 'moonshot' company that tries to invent crazy companies or patent ideas that will be possible in the future. One of these linked above is Loon,...

Just realised I didn't submit something yesterday, oh well, so here I am coming in early to work to try to make this a habit. We will see how it goes. I have been noticing the easiness of writing now when writing everyday, and more ideas are coming into my...

Today I made a cold brew, well more I made it all night. Slowly steeped in my fridge next to some old cheese, and leftovers. I normally buy coffee from a shop down the street, but they recently all had positive covid tests. Atleast thats what we think, though they...

I think I might be a little old to be watching these cartoons on my own, but still haven't seen something this nice in awhile.  Both have a sort of dreamy beauty to them, imaginative and inspiring. Similar maybe to some of Miyazaki's movies like 'The Wind Rises', but with...
