3quarksdaily - What I am saying is, if you’re not mindful about the amount of your attention that goes to thinking about and consuming those things, you’re not going to be making good stuff, either for that medium or elsewhere. That’s what I got kind of hung up on, when I finally realized that all I was doing was eating and producing potato chips all day long. 2010-05-18 (#)

Philip Greenspun’s Weblog » Technology reduces the value of old people 2009-10-30 (#)
-> I recently wished a friend a happy birthday. He is in his 50s with a young wife and two-year-old children. All his life he has been valued for and earned his living with musical creativity. Here’s his reply: I have been declared inept by my household! It only gets worse. You are not judged by your intelligence but by how well you do menial tasks. I have been spiritually castrated. I am a walking corpse. The only freedom is when I write. Good ideas for maintaining relevance and value in old age would be welcome in the comments section. kiv age old raq

-> "Is this the answer to non eco-friendly plastic carrier bags? “60BAGS are the perfect natural answer to the environment’s needs. They are biodegradable carrier bags made out of flax-viscose non-woven fabric. Its material was scientifically developed and manufacture in Poland. The flax-viscose fabric is produced with flax fibre industrial waste, which means it doesn’t exploit any natural resources and requires minimal energy during its production. This highly innovative technology enables the bags to naturally decompose approximately 60 days after being discarded, which means they don’t require expsenive recycling or disposal in land fills. 60BAGS breakthrough advance over so-called ‘green bags’ produced with polypropylene material, as well as thick plastic bags given away by most clothing retailers. 60BAGS is a great commercial opportunity for the companies committed to supporting an eco-friendly lifestyle.”"
