This year, I’ve been building a user environment that reifies personal computing of the kind I’ve explored for the last several years — something I can fully live in. I'm kicking off a series of lab reports that take a deep dive into this environment's implementation.
Roughly a quarter of the first ten years of Sarah and my marriage was spent on (very) long road trips. This had some interesting effects on how we experienced the passage of time, and the associations of places with times improved my (typically poor) recall of memories from then

Simply following one's curiosity — even when it seems unproductive to do so — is wildly underestimated as an activity that moves the human race forward. Feynman's spinning plates led to his Nobel prize.
