The End of Moore’s Law
If you’re a technology buff, you might find this fascinating like I do…
“Moore’s law refers to an observation made by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965. He noticed that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had doubled every year since their invention. Moore’s law predicts that this trend will continue into the foreseeable future.”
This might be ending.
I think the end of Moore’s Law, as I have defined the end, will bring about a golden new era of computer architecture. No longer will architects need to cower at the relentless improvements that they know others will get due to Moore’s Law. They will be able to take the time to try new ideas out in silicon, now safe in the knowledge that a conventional computer architecture will not be able to do the same thing in just two or four years in software. And the new things they do may not be about speed. They might…

Use Location-Based Reminders to Break Bad Habits
Everyone talks about how bad smartphones can be but things like ‘location based reminders’ can be very useful, like this: Hey, Siri. Remind me to do X when I go home or Remind me to do Y when I get in the car…
Use location-based reminders on your phone to remind yourself not to fall for your bad habits. As you stumble away from your favorite bar, get a reminder to go back and close out your tab. Or as you stumble toward it in the first place, get a reminder that you’re trying to drink less. Set anti-reminders at an ex’s place, a pricey restaurant, or the store you shop at too often.
Mary Oliver on Love and Its Necessary Wildness
In praise of the “invisible and powerful and uncontrollable and beautiful and possibly even unsuitable.”
“HOW DO I LOVE YOU?

Oh, happily. Perhaps
I may elaborate by
demonstration? Like
this, and
like this and
no more words now”
