21st Feb 2024
The one upside to getting kicked out of Fort Pickens for a storm that never hit, was meeting the pilot. The bus, wherever it goes, is conspicuous. It is especially conspicuous in the middle of an otherwise empty parking lot. Next to the parking lot was a collection of condos,...

Building a garden in the backyard

from Daniel Bourke [alt+shift+b] in life

Wu wei (无为) — The art of not forcing

from Daniel Bourke [alt+shift+b] in life

4th Jun 2023
The controlled accident. Sometimes it gets mistaken for "do nothing" or "doing nothing". Because the characters 无为 (wu wei) mean nothing (wu, 无) and doing (wei, 为). So although a literal translation would be doing nothing, it doesn’t mean the same as sitting

Selecting Sticks and Stones

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

14th Jul 2018
When my behavior was bad enough to warrant a swat on the butt, my family performed an odd ritual. Dad and I would go for a walk in search of a spanking stick. Today as an adult I punish my body by running. I follow another odd ritual before particularly demanding workouts.

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!
