“Your move.” (via theblessedone)

Setting your iPhone's date to 1 January 1970 won't bring up a cool new theme; it'll just potentially break your device.

There has long been talk of a Battlestar Galactica movie (supposedly as far back as 1999), but it looks like the flick is becoming more than just a bunch of whispers. Universal has signed on well-known producers Dylan Clark (Rise of the Planet of the...

had my first meeting with some data folks on campus to figure who i need to involve in order to get a “preferred name” field for faculty and staff. this would allow transgender faculty and staff to have their digital identity match their actual identity, even if their legal documentation hasn’t caught up yet. we already have this for students, an effort i was also involved in.

turns out, i didn’t have to cajole anyone. they’re in. they want to help solve this. they said that this is and has been a real issue, and that it wasn’t getting solved because there wasn’t one central push for it.

so, now i’m that push. 

and today my colleagues helped me to see the path that i can take to champion this change, volunteered to create the right documentation to illustrate how we can do this, and enlisted in coming to meetings with me to help move this forward.

feeling pretty optimistic right now. we might actually be able to fix this.

your brain can be sorta brutal to you. or at least mine is. a whole lotta negative nonsense like a slow drip, whispers or shouts, all at once or sometimes thankfully infrequent. in summary, “you’re such an asshole.”

since turning down the job offer in january and asking leadership to allow me to do my work the way that i find most engaging, my entire work life has become… well, sort of awesome.

i’m focused on the things i know matter. i’m putting aside distractions. i’m available to the people who need me in a way that i’ve sorely missed.

and, i realize, i’m not an asshole.

not that i was ever really thinking i was an asshole, but you know, the slow drip of negative nonsense… it’s not exactly confidence inspiring.

but lately, and in very real ways, i’ve made some incredibly positive impacts through my interactions at work. i’ve actually made several situations and issues (both mundane and complex) materially, absolutely, undeniably better.

i did that. i was a force for good. i created a net positive. me.

so to that negative voice in my head i say “fuck off.”

and i also say to me “be kind to you, so you can be kind to others.”

peace starts with your own noise. start there.

note to self: “you are not an asshole.”

Impresionante fábrica que produce en serie aviones de papel, realizada con piezas de lego.

La materia prima es la misma que la de los aviones de papel que se realizan artesanalmente: una hoja DINA4. A partir de ahí, solo hay que introducirla por un extremo de la línea de ensamblaje y observar cómo va pasando por todas las fases hasta que, aproximadamente un minuto después, aparece por el otro extremo en perfectas condiciones de vuelo para despegar automáticamente.

Beijing-based photographer Ryan Deboodt (previously) recently returned from a trip to Laos where he spent two days exploring Tham Khoun Xe, one of the largest active rivers caves in the world. Stretching nearly 4.5 miles (7km) underground, the cave system is extraordinarily remote and Deboodt was permitted to photograph and film beyond where tourists are normally allowed to visit. The immensity of the subterranean space is staggering, with an average ceiling of almost 200 feet (60m) and width of 250 feet (76m) it’s hardly imaginable a space like this could exist underground.

Deboodt brought an arsenal of camera and video equipment as well as a drone to capture the expansive interiors of Tham Khoun Xe, much of which he edited into a short video included below. You can follow more of his cave photography from around the world on Facebook or Instagram, and read an interview about the endeavor on Smithsonian.
