I look forward to an app that lets me take a photo of my foot while I'm standing to decide whether my foot will fit into a shoe that I hope to buy online. #machineLearning #ideas
#Ideas: The more time sensitive that a society/culture gets, the more mythical the notion of capital becomes.

From the Solarpunk Aesthetic tumblr:
Biotechnologist Marin Sawa and her University of London research group have created a proof-of-concept for printing solar cells onto paper using carbon nanotubes and cyanobacteria.
This technology is "[...] capable of generating a sustained electrical current both in the dark (as a βsolar bio-batteryβ) and in response to light (as a βbio-solar-panelβ) with potential applications in low-power devices."

"What Is Improbable Research?
Improbable research is research that makes people laugh and then think.
We collect improbable research. Real research, about anything and everything, from everywhere. Research that's maybe good or bad, important or trivial, valuable or worthless." https://www.improbable.com/about/
I've been digging the #orgmode #Android app "Orgzly" lately, and it's motivated me to now try out #Spacemacs to hopefully use org-mode on the desktop. :) It's way different from the text editors I'm used to, but I'm going through the built-in tutorial, now. #emacs #fdroid

Popular #Skateboarding posts on Instagram are either ridiculously innovative or ridiculously idiotic. First I see a guy tailsliding a ledge while wholly standing on the tail and somehow popping out from that into a manual, then I see a group of guys jumping over an evidently wild alligator while one guy distracts it. π
I was talking to a friend who was thinking about the internet we want to have, decentralized, less silos, a bit like the nineties where it was possible to have static pages, host email, write your own CGI scripts, and it was all step by step easy and possible if that was what you wanted. And we got talking about the kind of things we need to today to get this back. Do you have reading suggestions? Blogs to read? Projects? People to follow?
Cross laptop stickers would be cool swag for #Christian clubs on college campuses.
@bthall Noise pollution is a real problem!
A while back I bought a big pack of foam earplugs because the price difference between a pack of 5 pairs and 50 was quite marginal, and it's helped me so much with my anxiety. Not needing to filter out most irrelevant sounds lets me chill out and focus much more.
I can even wear headphones with them for extra fun (crank up the tunes to hear the music but cancel out other stuff, without killing my hearing).
It's laundry time. I cannot avoid it any longer.
