When something can be read without effort, great effort has gone into its writing. ~ Enrique Jardiel Poncela

Feeling that “impulse of the heart” today as I revisit an old manuscript. #amwriting #pb

Colors have always had the power to convey meaning. In the ancient Mediterranean, blue hair often pointed to divine identity, for instance. But a whole blue room? That was an announcement of Roman affluence.

How Much Did It Cost to Paint a Pompeii Room Egyptian Blue?

The price of covering a room in the prized pigment was equal to between 50% and 90% of a Roman legionary's annual salary, a new study estimates.

apple's translator is barely functional when you give it extremely neat text files, how is it going to navigate the messiness of human speech like anything machine translation-related, i'll believe it when i see (hear) it

I’ve felt this way about almost every Apple event of the past decade but I have to say the real-time language translation for the new AirPods is really exciting for me personally. These are the kinds of tech advancements that feel like genuinely good things and they’re so rare these days.

Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.
