What are the potential applications? I read the article, it was pretty interesting but I only saw things that would be odd to an expert (which I am not). Sure it’s a cool shape, but what does it do?
I just signed up for Kagi and installed the Orion browser to take it for a spin.
First search query, the third result was a particular brand of fish tank that I had forgotten, then forgot I had forgotten, months ago while planning out my home office build.
Thanks to you, I will have a great office with a cool fish tank, and a great browser/search to go with it!
Hmm, I’m pretty sure the most general definition of art is exactly the opposite: subjective, immediate, and representing a private communication between the artist and their context/environment.
If anyone external to that communication gets some value from it as well, that’s a nice side benefit!
That’s unfortunate… variations in American accents can differ as much or more than that, so it’s a little surprising she struggled. I hope you don’t judge all Americans by that experience :)
Wow, I thought I was the only one with the TV thing! I remember it as young as 4-5, but no one knew what I was talking about. I’ve had constant minor tinnitus since then, so I can’t help but feeling like there’s a CRT near my head that has been running since the early nineties.
The older I get, the more I have found myself prioritizing music. Making money so that I can feed my family is all well and good, but when I ask myself what is the purpose of everything, the only real answer I can find is this: to create meaningful music by integrating past traditions with my present life experience, and passing on skills and experience to my children.
That’s not a given, unfortunately. I believe that the intended long term strategy is to give kids a glimpse of something that is outwardly interesting, in order to increase their internal motivation to seek out other good reading material. Not necessarily to get it “right” the first time.

How would one go about finding these components (in hobbyist volumes)? The fountain pen components I have seen for sale (in the US) are quite expensive and limited in options/quality.
