Wisdom to Heal the Earth
The child naively believes that everything should be fair and everyone should be honest, that only good should prevail, that everybody should have what they want and there should be no pain or sadness.The child believes the world should be perfect and is outraged to discover it is not.
And the child is right

Morning Routine
Coffee and RSS feeds.
Still working on getting tasks done in the morning, but I don’t feel like being personally productive in the morning. 📷 ☕️

Listening to Korn this afternoon and I’m reminding myself how much I enjoyed their music when I was younger.
I watched Dune for the 2nd time last night. I still think I need at least one more watch before I can express my true opinon of it as a movie.
Some quick thoughts on it:
- The world building needed was much too subtle
- The cinematography was goregeous
- The settings were fantastic
Instapaper Zero reached. Articles that I want to read and review have been migrated to a Read Later folder in Evernote.
Slowly, but steadily moving my digital stuff to Evernote so it’s all in one place continues.
I’ve been “testing” and/or trying to decide on a Read Later service since 2015.
Maybe it’s not that important to me. I think I’ll move everything into Evernote since that is what I’m using now.
Finally set up my desk so that I can plug my Pixelbook into my desktop mouse, keyboard, and monitor. It’s nice to be able to use the same setup at the desk and the couch and where ever I happen to be.
I really like the way Ignant formats their articles.
This article about Fabien Dendievel’s photography is beautiful in it’s simplisity. Like the art itself.

This is a piece by artist Malika Favre

Found a neat Android app through Sam Beckman’s Top Android Apps! YouTube video.
retroPod turns your phones screen into a … iPod click wheel interface.
And it is pretty good.
The There I Ruined It YouTube channel is amazing.
First impression of Dune:
A lot of style and not a lot of substance.
This will require a rewatch or two to get a good idea of the movie.
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind killer.
Fantastic piece created by yukoart for Halloween.

But, I don’t want to be a pirate.
For the forseeable future, I will have to tell myself daily that I do not need a new phone.
My current Pixel 4 is perfect for me.
I do not need to upgrade to the Pixel 6.
This piece by Lori Nelson perfectly illustrates how I feel in the middle of a hectic and stressful work day.
The only thing missing is an eye roll.
