Fire Hydrant Fury

from Adrian Hanft, III: RSS Feed [alt+shift+b] in life

2nd Jun 2018
If you are an artist living in a city with a public art project you hope nobody blames you for it. Lincoln, Nebraska is covered with ugly bike-shaped sculptures covered with even uglier paintings. Loveland, Colorado lets people paint their electric boxes. Your city probably has...

Anti-Hero, Abandoning the Movie Inside Your Head

from Adrian Hanft, III: RSS Feed [alt+shift+b] in life

7th Jan 2017
If we are stuck as the heroes in our imaginary movies our lives are destined to be controlled by rationalization. Change is not possible. But if accept the movie for what it is, an illusion, perhaps we can abandon our imaginary hero personas and become people that actually change...

Talent Myths and the Story of Imperceptible Gains

from Adrian Hanft, III: RSS Feed [alt+shift+b] in life

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
