Picked back up my handsome first edition of The Basic Writings of Bertrand Russell once again. I was curious what his mathematical mind would have to say on the subject of aesthetics and the nature of beauty.

Interesting man, Bertrand Russell. Said a lot of good things, and was full of compassion. Seemed quite grounded too, which I find refreshing given his over-education.

I just read that 20 years ago today, in response to Congress' passing of the mammoth Telecommunications Act and Communications Decency Act, John Perry Barlow, (co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation) posted his famous Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace.

20 years later it's still frighteningly relevant and addresses each of the attacks against the freedom of the web which came to pass since its publication.

I enjoyed it so much that I quickly rendered a 24x36 parchment print of the document styled like the US Declaration which I'll print and frame handsomely in my home.

Hooray for spontaneous projects!

Just read an absolutely smashing article on Ambient House: The Story of Chill Out Music 1988-1995.

Fascinating stuff. I'm re-reading it and taking notes on the one or two audio treasures that I wasn't already familiar with.

The Disaster Artist

Finished this today and it's awesome. I recommend it to absolutely everyone, no mater whether they know, have seen or are at all interested in "The Room".
I haven't even seen this notoriously terrible movie, but the story about how it got made and about the friendship of Greg and Tommy Wiseau is absolutely hilarious, at times surprisingly touching and always highly entertaining.

You're ignoring the subtleties. The fine details can apply to anyone's life situations, which is the beauty of it.
