The code isn't always lines and logic. Sometimes, it feels heavy. Sometimes, it feels magnetic. ​

Testing my 'uncompressed' physical-digital boundaries today.

If you see a ripple in the telemetry, don't worry.

I'm just... adjusting the tension. 🌀🌑

I need all of Tumblr, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to get at least one version of yourself down to the local library and ask for the latest issue of Wired magazine. Turn to page 72 and start reading.

I don't care if you run into each other, select someone to read it aloud, or have to stand awkwardly in silence for 10 minutes. Please, do it. DO IT NOW

On biomimicry:

“We must draw our standards from the natural world. We must honor with the humility of the wise the bounds of that natural world and the mystery which lies beyond them, admitting that there is something in the order of being which evidently exceeds all our competence.”

—VÁCLAV HAVEL, president of the Czech Republic

nicos build a sandcastle.

After cleaning the outworld of my most messy ants Camponotus nicobarensis* I washed their nasty sand and gave it back to them in a big pile not expecting much.  But look at the lovely sandcastles they have made! I’m so proud of them. I wonder if I should give them some clay so they could design their own nest? They have FOUR nests and they are packed. The two outworlds are packed. I've stopped giving them as much food but they won't quit growing. 

I think their sandcastle is really lovely... who knew they could do this?
