This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

    I am considering taking up a collection hobby. What should I collect? Should be cheap (ideally, free) and small/light if physical. Can be digital too.

        Obscure internet reads and essays. Too close to what you do professionally? Old memes. Be a meme historian

        I moved away from that and onto https://are.na  - no ultra addiction funnel but still fun for collecting things together.https://twitter.com/ultimape/status/859462715844304902 …

        Core game loop of Pinterest: a socially oriented tool to explore together. But perverted by addiction+marketing. https://twitter.com/ultimape/status/792527154588291072 …

        Houseplants have been rewarding, especially if you learn about the differences between species as you grow them. There's a lot of small weird succulents available.

        wouldn't happen to know what I would have to look up to find out ones that produce excess O2 and clean up CO2? I have the idea of creating a little greenhouse full of succulents acting as a sort of air scrubber.

        Dollar bills. Keep them in sorted order by serial number. Whenever you get 100 consecutive bills, auction them off.

        If you have a decent color reading tablet, get into comic books/graphic novels. Some of the most vital and unique storytelling is only possible through sequential art.

        Designs for the machinery of survival. No matter where you end up, you can first survive, and then thrive. Sorry, engineer's habit. "Build our way out of trouble." :D
