Let's talk bags.

Now, there's a reason for this: back to work/school always means it's bag season. So this is the first one I have for you today. It's more practical than stylish, but I have a few practical bags myself so here you go!

I love the concept of #transferable #skills! Who would have thought to apply #improv techniques to improving #workplace #communications? These folks have! It's a great read with #practical ideas.

Years back, on G.W.F. Hegel's birthday, I wrote down some reflections about aspects of his philosophy often not discussed that I particularly appreciate. For his birthday today, I've reworked it and republished it

One of the reasons why people feel so much #alienation from #science is that no relevant connections are offered for their lives.

We need to think beyond #industry, #government, and #engineering when we think about #practical #applications of scientific #research. #Philosophy, #politics, and #art are relevant applications as well, and often more personal to people who feel alienated from science as we know it.

Nuclear physics feels more relevant when you're talking about Geiger counters being used to assess accident sites than when you're talking about them being used at bomb testing sites, even though the physics is essentially the same. Biochemistry feels more relevant when you're talking about water testing to monitor aquatic ecosystems for toxins than when you're talking about quality control for PepsiCo, even if you're talking about pH testing in both cases. Astronomy feels more relevant when you're talking about beautiful, profound JWST images that taught you something that amazed you about the universe we live in, than when it's a simple list of "fun facts" about galaxies. Chemistry feels more relevant when you get to try an experiment yourself in different ways, than when you're watching someone else do it formulaically.

Because one directly impacts people's lives for the better in meaningful ways, and the other causes harm, exists only for profit, or is totally abstract. One involves the #active #participation and #engagement of the learner with their own #curiosity, and the other is being lectured to by someone who thinks they know what's "really" important.

If you want to #interest more people in #learning and science, ask them #questions. Emphasize the #process of science, don't treat it as a set of established #facts. Engage with #issues of #representation and #ethics in your field, as well as #interdisciplinary work. And find ways to make your work felt positively in people's lives. Change what a #scientist is, and what science is for.

You can't #patent #text, or stories, or any #narrative. Patents are only for "#practical #devices" (though you don't actually have to prove it works, or even build one), although that has been (incorrectly, IMHO) extended to #software as well.

Some #jurisdictions recognize a second kind of patent, called a #design patent, which protects the "look and feel" of whatever's being patented. It also does not apply to text.

And then there's this. I wear a lot of backless dresses and shopping for a backless bra is super important. If you're wearing a backless dress, it's because you really want to look amazing. This can help.

Electric aircraft are a long, long way from being #practical in general use. The DC-10 Air Tanker, a medium-large waterbomber, has three turbofan engines that produce 45-50,000 pounds of thrust - each.

The batteries that plane could carry while also taking off with 45 tonnes of water would not give it a whole lot of flying time 😜

I was an early adopter of VR in 1989. The technology was originally based on switching the opacity of left and right lenses triggered by the "vertical blank interrupt" of the tv screen. A later update used a more subtle technique with interlaced lines on the screen (possibly triggered by the horizontal blank interrupt)

After receiving Vive, Valve, and Tilt 5 shots, I'm now immune to VR hype.
VR is a good alternative to physical pinball machines.

Any #Video / #Virtual / #AugmentedReality #Technology tempts ppl away from actually going places and doing things. It can lead to a dulling of #Practical #Skills. I've learned to do quite a few things watching videos, but only b/c after watching them being done, I did them myself.
