Thoughts on Craft
“Ars longa, vita brevis, occasio praeceps, experimentum periculosum, iudicium difficile.”
(“Life is short, the craft long, opportunity fleeting, experiment treacherous, judgment difficult.”)
Hippocrates (400 BC)
On Automation
Yesterday, I went to a cafe, ordered an espresso and sipped it peacefully while I thought about what I wanted to write about this week. At least, that was the plan. But I have a child who requires love, attention and a part-time (full-time?) cleaning crew. So, the espresso was ordered but it was cold by the time I started drinking it because I was following her around the cafe. Then, she threw her water cup across the table and knocked the remaining half of my coffee to the floor, where it pooled and resembled a haggard face (turns out it was just my reflection). I did not get any writing done.
30 for 30
This is a collection of the 30 books I found most interesting, impactful, or worth telling friends about. It’s not necessarily a list of the “30 BEST BOOKS OF ALL TIME”, because that would just descend into snobbery. These are the 30 books that mean the most to me in no particular order. Why 30? Well I recently turned 30.
