«««««
A man without mirth is like a waggon without springs, in which one is caused disagreeably to jolt by every pebble over which it runs. A man with mirth is like a chariot with springs, in which one can ride over the roughest road, and scarcely feel anything but a pleasant rocking motion.

To name a few:
#Technology x #Society
#UX x #Business
#Cuisine x #Simplicity
#Design x #Practicality
#FOSS x #Usability
#WaysOfWorking x #Psychology
#Productivity x #WorkLifeBalance
#Processes x #Goals
#Learning x #Creating
#MentalModels x #Communication
The key to me making more stuff (I think) is to pick niche-y intersections that feel like they deserve more exploration. And then explore!

Now the rest of us can see past them safely.
