recurring themes
a bunch of different things keep poking their way into my consciousness and it's amazing how often in the last 3 months it's been a range of ideas, concepts and things that is a finite set -- just trying to iterate over some of the different connections I've been struck by recently
- water (surfing, windsurfing, boating, swimming, etc...)
- music
- fire (crematorium, kiln, ashes, BBQs, etc...)
- ontology (taxonomy, naming, etc...)
- trains (efficient transportation, model trains, geeks, etc..)
- math
- nature (wilderness preservation, enjoyment of the natural outdoors, stopping the paving of the planet, etc...)
- language
- birds (pelicans, crows, etc...)
- rhythm (music, pace, math)
- correction(s) (rules, language, being (overly?) pedantic, prisoners who "like" building ice castles, etc...)
- names
- ice (snow, cold, ice castles, etc...)
- groups
- encodings
- education (SR, Melvil(le) Dewey, self teaching via the internet, teaching an AI, etc...)
- food (farming, sustainability, "green" solutions, folding land "use" back into our answers, etc...)
