A DOZEN steps to kit this year’s Spring project, Path to Passover. It’s a linen map of the steps of the Seder and a cool mini-matzah token to track the evening’s progress. LIMITED EDITION of 100, less than 20 left.

Hand rotation 10/10. Tremendous.
100% plastic and glass.
Needs no charging.
Requires no software updates or dongles.
Will last a few weeks until the novelty wears off.
Same size + weight as the iPhone.
It's a $10 store display model that can do everything a Methaphone can do for a fraction of the cost.

100% solid aluminum.
Needs no charging.
Requires no software updates or dongles.
Will last hundreds of thousands of years vs 2-3.

Got a new phone
That does not disrupt my sleep
Is not addictive
Never runs out of battery
Is waterproof
And doesn’t break
Introducing The Methaphone
Thank you @ericantonow!

The Methaphone—a clear slab of smartphone-shaped acrylic—is part cheeky art project, part helpful tool for those looking to curb their phone addiction. wired.com/story/methaphone-s…

A social experiment! The methaphone served as a portal to opening up the convo about phone addiction and school cell phone bans 🌀
Thank you @MethaphoneNotes @ericantonow @grex for sending us one of the first methaphones!

funny, because Occam’s razor originally said, “Entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity” (the opposite of what’s described here).
but today we interpret it as, “The simplest explanation is usually correct” (exactly what’s described here).

I actually agree with this.
But if making new connections and discoveries is intrinsically an NP-hard problem, then it's also less likely that some super-intelligence will rapidly exhaust the tech tree and start making nanobots.
Shakespeare fans - I've been meaning to look up these phrases for a long time, but today had some extra time to do just that. So I made this video. Nod to Bernard Levin. #shakespeare

I have read Among the Thugs at least 3-4 times, mostly to say 'don't forget, mobs are terrible.' I hope this doesn't offend the author @bill_buford but I gift it with the suggestion to start with the last chapter, 'Sardinia', first.
