I’m not ignoring your message – I’m overwhelmed by the tyranny of being reachable. (via DD) ∞

My daughter and I watched this YouTube video of Clipse & Pharrell telling the story behind ‘Let God Sort Em Out’ all the way through. She said to me, “Papa, how are they SO good?! And why have you never played them for me?!” Their last album was released 3 years before she was born. ∞

It’s a Clipse weekend. Let God Sort Em Out is out (and on repeat) and so is the Tiny Desk performance. Pusha T and Malice are BACK.

The Gillian Welch & David Rawlings Tiny Desk Concert is absolutely stunning. Wow. I had to remind myself to breathe as I was watching it the first time around. ∞

I received my physical copy of Antimemetics: Why Some Ideas Resist Spreading by Nadia Asparouhova and immediately started reading.

Absolutely FLOORED by Yancey’s TED talk. Been following him for many years and supporting his ideas, big and small. This is maybe the biggest of them all. A lot of people talk about supporting artists and creators, but Yancey has made it his mission and I truly believe it will be his legacy. ∞

Clone is pretty cool. Link quality feels a little mid or too mainstream a lot of the time. I want weirder links from non-mainstream sources. I visit daily though and can’t say that about a lot of sites. ∞

Worth reading Sam’s latest post, The Gentle Singularity. The challenging thing, at least for me, is not to roll my eyes too much. I can have doubts. How much of what he talks about will really come to pass by 2035? Maybe some. Maybe more. It doesn’t matter if you agree, disagree, drink the Kool-Aid or not. What matters is whether you are capable of catching your cynicism and instead engaging your imagination. How difficult is that for you? Because that is a reflection of how you see the world. You can choose. And your choice won’t have any bearing on the outcome, but it will impact how you live the rest of your life.
