“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,” said Piglet, “what’s the first thing you say to yourself?” “What’s for breakfast?” said Pooh. “What do YOU say, Piglet?” “I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?” Pooh nodded thoughtfully. “It’s the same thing.” ~A.A.Milne

Where should they dig the Very Deep Pit? Piglet said that the best place would be somewhere where a Heffalump was, just before he fell into it, only about a foot further on. “But then he would see us digging it,” said Pooh. “Not if he was looking at the sky.” -A.A.Milne

They were pulling Owl’s chairs and pictures and things out of his old house. Kanga was calling out to Owl, “You won’t want this dirty old dish-cloth any more, will you,” and Owl was calling back indignantly, “Of course I do! It isn’t a dish-cloth, it’s my shawl!”~A.A.Milne #storm

Smart heating! 🫡 Beneath Finnish cities are massive underground data centers running 24 hours a day. They process emails, cloud storage, AI workloads & more, which generates an enormous amount of heat. It's captured & pumped directly into the city’s district heating network.

Next to Piglet’s house was a piece of broken board which had: “TRESPASSERS W” on it. When Christopher Robin asked what it meant, Piglet said it was his grandfather’s name, and was short for Trespassers William. His grandfather had had two names in case he lost one. ~A.A.Milne

“Tigger is quite big enough,” said Piglet. “He isn’t REALLY very big.” “Well, he SEEMS so.” Pooh was thoughtful when he heard this, and then murmured: “Whatever his weight in pounds, shillings, and ounces, He always seems bigger because of his bounces.” A.A.Milne

Van Gogh turned absence into presence—empty chairs, worn shoes, roads without figures. Each vacancy becomes a trace of life, someone powerfully present in their absence. #artbots #vangogh
