There will not be a "last summer". There will not be a "permanent underclass". There will not be "human extinction". There will not be "endless suffering".

We are going to make it. Not because it's easy, but because it's possible. Because we can. Because we care enough to try

Just learned about Ken Isaacs' "Superchair" (1967).

Built-in book rest, shelves, lamp, drink tray, and a seat back that folds into a bed.

A place for "inventive work and the individual search for peace of mind", as he put it.

It was meant for people to build it themselves, hence the almost unfinished look. Blueprints were published in Popular Science in 1968.

A surgical center in rural Uganda runs entirely off-grid.
Solar power. Teak screens, woven Nile reed ceilings, clay tiles made by local potters.
This is what African architecture looks like when planned with intention.
📍 Kyabirwa Surgical Center, Uganda

reading about hypertext apps from the 80~90s, back when the role was called "hypertext designer" rather than web designer or developer. many came out of academia, and most failed, but there's sth exciting about seeing such a diverse range of forms that web could take

Filmed at nearly 4,000 feet deep in the Gulf of Mexico, this bioluminescent siphonophore glows ethereally as it drifts through the inky darkness.

This is the world’s first typhoon detection mechanism invented in 1884 by Fr. Federico Faura of the Manila Observatory. My specimen is the 1st edition model from 1886 produced by L. Casella. Despite being 139 yrs old, it is still able to predict the approach of Typhoon Uwan.

When I was young, I sucked at math. Even in early college. Then I sat down and did alot of practice. It did three things: a) made me realize I was bad because I wanted to get it right away but that it could not work that way; b) building up slowly but continuously would work in long-run; c) gave me the mathematical maturity to work on things.

90% of complaints about mathematics, mathematical economics and statistics come from impatience and a feeling of inability to immediately get it.

Back in our Bulacan home na binuo ng lola ko by collecting parts from old(er) houses. Siya rin nagpa-inlay ng furniture.

God bless our civil society, truly.

Look at the platform built by https://t.co/FG0zYyee7X. They not only created a portal for the 2020-2026 budgets, they even made a user-friendly server for DPWH flood control projects & a SALN tracker.
