Life Goes On • This is inspired by how many "lif Life Goes On • This is inspired by how many "life" things continue to happen despite the interruption and disruption of the Corona Virus. As bad as things have been, life goes on, and even goes on beautifully for those who choose to live, love, and appreciate what these two bring. I wrote this while resting and recovering in my parents' home after getting sick. My body must have been so worn down without me realizing it. • #DBwords #poetry #poems #instapoems #instapoetry #author #words #life #love #victory #memory #relationships
Blade Runner 2049 and the original Blade Runner Di Blade Runner 2049 and the original Blade Runner Director's Cut are two of my all-time favorite movies. Both explore how human progress has dehumanized actual humans and they make us think about the consequences of becoming too advanced, too intelligent, and too powerful to care for the simple, the small, and the slave. I especially like it that in both films, the heroes don't necessarily win over their antagonists, but find meaning in the temporary but nonetheless beautiful experience of compassion and connection. I wish they made more movies like these. (Looking forward to Dune!) #movies #bladerunner #bladerunner2049 #technology #people #favorite

We at @bridgesoutheast really appreciate our offic We at @bridgesoutheast really appreciate our office at @aspaceph. I think the best way to die is the best way to live, by doing something you love. I love working. And to do what you love, to do it every day, and in a such a great place is awesome. Sure, life is precarious. Sure, there are risks. Sure, I'm tired. But at least every minute of every day counts! #DBthoughts #work #office #aspace #coworking #life #thrive #perspective
Tragedy of the Commons • On another long work da Tragedy of the Commons • On another long work day I think about how influential faculty decision making is in our lives, and the compounding effects of bad decisions as they ripple throughout our lives. When wisdom is not valued and held in high esteem, when our baser instincts play a greater role in our collective decision making, where do you expect this ends? This poem is an arrow pointing in that direction. • #DBthoughts #poem #poetry #crash #collectivism #wisdom #foolishness #simplemindedness #writer #prediction

He has so much conviction with his abstracts, pronouncing them as "Done!" when he finishes a piece.

One of my favorite things to do during a holiday i One of my favorite things to do during a holiday is work. It is one of the few days I can work without interruptions. Work for me is all the activities I do that create and capture value. This is why I use things like painting or poetry as ways to improve my work, not as something completely separate. I also like to mix in intellectual and philosophical interests with business and community work. I used to think that I needed to choose workflows that fit in with more conventional practices but I realized that these unconventional combinations are an advantage. Some of you have some interesting combinations too, chef + businessman, housewife + accountant, student + and programmer, etc. Instead of boxing yourself in artifical standards, find ways to integrate the many parts of you. #DB #work #integrate #overflow #rennaissance #productivity #value
