Contemplation. Dramatically Improving Your Photography With Reading Looks like an interesting practice.
#tds2030 one thing about blogging is you find out things you though were permanent were not
failure and hope are the very things that have propelled human progress to date
the loss of the random and serendipity are worrying too. #tds1850
Loved the linked photoset of kids playing, outdoors & sometimes, somewhat risky.

How does your daily engagement with different apps and websites look like?
I’ve been musing on this one for a few days. A few years ago I wrote an AppleScript that would periodically do the F9 show all your windows and dump a screenshot. On Sunday afternoon I dug it out and ran it from just befoe 4pm until 11pm. I pulled these together in a gif.
I am not sure how much this tells me other than I have a lot of windows open most of the time. Luckly it does not show how many browser tab I am using…
#tds390 Write a Gatha Poem | The Daily Stillness
A while back I tried #tds360 Idle Pleasure of the day: Wait for the tea to brew from The Daily Stillness and was quite horrified at how it turned out.
I’ve a pretty good routine for this: Grind coffee; while it buzzes I put water in the pot; I then add the coffee and put the pot on the stove;Â while it heats I prepare the cups; and pour when it bubbles.
It takes a while to boil and bubble up. I guess I usually look at my phone or read the paper, standing still that day i note that my attention is racing and I can hardly stand still, I shift from foot to foot to ‘keep busy’!
Since then IÂ occasionally try and check my posture, relax and breath whicle the coffee is brewing, perhaps this gatha will help.

The secretary, a compartmentalized working-space, may be thought of as the RSS reader of the past.

The linked post, is really only a paragraph but the idea in it is wonderful.Â
Today, I wrote a post on my 1999.io blog, read my RSS reader, tweeteted, answered tweets, found some lovely stuff. I worked on a website and went back an forward many times on email.
The image of a bureau captures this delightfully. I imagine a webpage version that looks as organised as the image posted.
