Clouds and rain seem to make something of a calming moment for many. For others, clouds and rain portend a change. Whether things are going to not be as they were, or that the change which was going to come isn’t. As much as we sometimes see the former, its the latter to which its harder to figure … read more

There’s this stretch of life which happens right at the end of summer when many folks start picking up the pace. An anxiousness to the end of the year? Catching up and getting back on pace because of summer breaks? Or, maybe something a bit more is happening. Whatever it is, there’s a cause for a … read more

There’s something of a flood coming. At least, depending on the genre you are watching, listening to, or consumed by there’s something coming. Now, what we are doing with it, might your company be trying a different route rather than the same, or how you might be deciding to ignore it are the other … read more

It has been something of a flashback in seeing how many have made their way over to MicroBlog. Sure, Twitter acting out has a lot to do with that, but there’s probably something a tick under the surface with a lot of social groups and social networks which grow over a particular size or gain some … read more

Tossing about whatever sticks. Or, are we making trails inside and beyond the streams other conversations and concepts have chosen for themselves. Sounds a bit etherial to ignite this week’s links with such a statement. But, there’s something to be said for pushing forward until clarity makes itself … read more

The middle of the year has passed and there’s some sense of “if you haven’t made that 2018 change now, then you better get on it” with some of the reads from this week. At the same time, its refreshing to continue to be revealed aspects of life that weren’t as easy to see earlier in the year. … read more

There’s sometimes no getting around this point — there’s just a whole lot out there to sift through, and even more right behind it. Does it matter to highlight so little in a sea of so much? Perhaps. But, what about when we highlight the sea, its waves, and the lands it brushes up against? There’s a … read more

Lots of flooding — both in rainfall and information — across various timelines this week. It’s almost as if the summer has found something of its own pace, and we aren’t used to it heating up to something a bit different. Perspective, or what we notice or don’t notice about the nuance of contexts, … read more

Sometimes, it doesn’t matter what exactly you might be trying to avert your attention from, there are some news and notes which just make their way into your viewing lanes. You can decide what to look at, what to hold onto, and what to discard. You can’t always decide the immediate value of what … read more

Travel and sickness often makes for unusual insights. Then again, there are some questions we don’t ask when we are well because we are strong enough to be stubborn to ignore them. At least, this seems to be parts within the theme of this week’s links: Can Meditation Really Make the World A Better … read more

Independence is an agreement, but not an inevitable decision. At least, that’s how it feels when looking at the links for this week: Simple Self-Driving Shuttles Become First Robot Rides in Detroit via Bloomberg Ridehail Revolution: UCLA ITS Dissertation Examines Discrimination and Travel Patters … read more

The future should be described in more optimistic terms than perhaps scholars or the entertainment industry has put forth. Looking for those different tropes is a bit easier said than done. The way this week’s links are put forth, it will be more up to the reader to put together their ideal future, … read more

Finding this week’s links light in terms of quantity, but heavier in terms of context and implications. In some measure, the gaps exposed by not completely understanding tools, processes, and their knitting theories presents an opportunity. Some things are easier to figure out after the fact. Apple … read more

A week away from things, slightly unintentionally. Having been given a closer-than-usual seat at the start of a life, one can see these pauses as an interruption or a challenge, but there’s also some strengthening in the model which comes. A blog should probably not apologize for missing its … read more

Closing another week and there are just enough hours to share a few influential links passed this week: A 2-Year Stanford Study Shows the Astonishing Productivity Boost of Working From Home via Inc Artificial Intelligence and Education: Moving Beyond the Hype Invisible Asymptotes via Eugene Wei A … read more

Happy GDPR Day! Ok, maybe that’s not the best way to open the week’s link share. Yet, there’s something to be said about the sites who don’t have much in the way of the notices about privacy policies and data governance which drive more about the consumer internet than much else. Its good to have a … read more

The backend of Spring has hit a number of places and industries differently. Where some areas are getting so much rain that what looked refreshing is now flooding, other places are finding themselves parched, looking fot a relief. What does that have to do with the links for the week? Maybe nothing. … read more

Would be the easy excuse to say that the usual posting scheme was disrupted because of the work on deck, but that’s not exactly the case. There was a bit of procrastination involved, which led to the travel/work on deck, which led to a “ah let’s just pick back up on Friday” bit. It might be ok to … read more

Its about that time again… really need to think about better ways to introduce the week’s links of interest, reflection, and reorientation. In any case, one could imagine thoughts are clearer when the road to-be-traveled has both imagination and focus as pistons within its engine. Here’s … read more

Another week in the books and the threads are aplenty. And maybe that’s just a sign of spring — lots of items coming to the surface after so many months of content finding its way against the gravity of other discussions. Smartphones Are Bad for Some Teens, Not All via Nature Amazon’s Echo Dot … read more
