100% Functional == Beautiful

from Carl Barenbrug RSS Feed [alt+shift+b] in life

6th Oct 2022
If something is 100% functional, it is always beautiful. There is no such thing as an ugly nail or an ugly hammer, but there's lots of ugly cars, because not everything in a car is functional. Sometimes it's very beautiful, if the person who designed it has very good taste, but...

The Problem With Too Much Comfort

from Abhishek Chakraborty [alt+shift+b] in life

6th Jan 2022
The recurring advice for writing any good story: keep the interesting parts, remove everything else. If you watch a good biopic, you wouldn’t want to know about their boring afternoon visit to the doctor unless it contributed to the screenplay of the movie.

How to Tell if Your Job is Real

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

2nd Dec 2018
After quitting his job, a friend made an odd comment. He said, "It’s weird when you realize that none of it is real." His observation stuck me as both profoundly true and maddeningly confusing.

20th Mar 2024
We maxed out our time at Fort Pickens. After six weeks, it was time to move on. We had planned to go to New Orleans, and then up into the Ozarks, before heading back up to Wisconsin for the summer, but given how mild the winter turned out to be, we decided to press north sooner...

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!
