I’m always thinking of Neil Postman’s observation from 1985 that feels prophetic:

There are so many news stories worthy of our attention that the overall effect is that none get our consistent attention for long enough to do something about any of them.

@steveruizok “vernacular architecture” ?

…this is the metaphor/name I’ve spoken aloud in my mind to describe the kind “improvising” I see volunteers doing on Wikipedia

self-awareness as a service (SaaaS)

[Are.na @AREdotNA]

The forthcoming https://t.co/jiD8fg7lUF Annual is themed "service" as in
an act of helping or supplying;
to repair or maintain;
to provide a public need;
a meeting for worship,
a place to refuel

What else can be considered as a service?

this week is "inspiration week" at work. the uncertainty i sometimes feel when making reminded me of Francis Alÿs's: Sometimes Making Something Leads to Nothing

@MatthewWSiu @Strava +1 about the knowledge tools bit.

it strikes me that few tools (in general) prioritize presenting information and affordances that empower “you” to ask questions about how you use them.

[peter pelberg @ptpells]

@thesephist @MatthewWSiu neat! do you recall when and why you would visit Histools?

also: if you’ve written a post about this experiment, I’d be keen to read. I didn’t immediately see one on https://t.co/mbmYW5km6T

[peter pelberg @ptpells]

@MatthewWSiu mmm, yeah. making history a “destination for discovery.”

what’s your experience been with Spotify Wrapped? has it ever helped you to see something new?

(what you said has me wondering if any tools I use have _proactively_ helped me to see patterns about myself)

[peter pelberg @ptpells]

"As for human relationships, home is customarily remembered as a cove of mutual support and comfort, forgetting that it can also be a prison in which feelings that stew in confined space turn into hatred and despair."

[peter pelberg @ptpells]

the writing I’ve most recently enjoyed about “home” is “Space and “Place” by Yi-Fu Tuan…

[Jasmine Wang @j_asminewang]

what are the best pieces of writing you've read on the feeling / sense / idea of "home"?

[peter pelberg @ptpells]

Oh! And then there’s “Home as Elsewhere” (a talk from Tuan) that I’m midway through watching…
