What’s the Deal With St. Paul? – Racket
If there’s an essence of St. Paul to be uncovered, I suspect it won’t be found in a busy 72-hour itinerary, but in the slower moments a resident spends there as life unfolds.
While I may disagree on some choices this piece really does capture what makes Saint Paul special.
Movie Credit Boredom in Japan — Ridgeline issue 168
Back to the movies: When a movie ends in Japan, a miraculous, truly miraculous, almost otherworldly thing happens — nobody moves. The credits roll. The lights stay off. Nary a smartphone light can be seen. I went to MI:7 (FUN) last week and the IMAX theater was packed. The movie ended, the credits began and I looked and looked — I was seated in the back row with a view of pretty much every seat. Hundreds of people. Nothing. No shifting. No peeking at messages. No rushing back to scrolling. And the credits were long! These were not quick credits. And yet, we all sat in spectacular shared boredom.
For the record, my family ALWAYS stays through the credits. Even as others are shuffling around us to leave. It’s a show of respect to the hundreds of people it took to make the film.
I know I’ve mentioned what a great workout circus rigging is from a CrossFit perspective (especially on a two show day like yesterday), but I often fail to recognize how much walking/running distance I cover because of it. What a workout! No wonder I’m exhausted at the end.

Many people with mental illness have to wake up every day and make the choice to live, and we don’t celebrate them. We don’t celebrate that choice. We think it’s just like waking up, ‘What’s the big deal? You got to get up this morning? Woohoo, good for you.’ For some people, for a lot of people, for too many people, that’s a heroic choice.”
I was on local station KARE 11 earlier today to discuss mental illness.
Today’s harvest.
Love Notes to Newton – Full Movie – Official – YouTube
This is lovely. I still have my Newton 2100 and all the accessories and still take it out occasionally to remind myself how fun that period of my computing life was.
What we don’t know – Annie Mueller
You don’t know how it’s going to work out, if it’s going to work out. Sometimes it becomes obvious that it’s not going to work out, and then you stare at it like, Well what now?
And you don’t know. You have absolutely no idea.

Multi-layered calendars « julian.digital
Been thinking about this one ever since Phil Bowell linked to it a week or so ago. Lot’s of great ideas going on here. Many of these are actually features in BusyCal (which I use) like timed tasks and travel time but I’d love to see the the others.
Still Trying to Ignore the Metaverse | danah boyd | apophenia
it never ceases to amaze me that tech bros want to build worlds created in dystopian novels and expect a different outcome. As a reminder, this is actually the definition of insanity
