I got a degree from Douglas College in programming and business management. I understood the business side more and was better at that than at being a coder.

Body agency is a power returned after an incident took it away from the user's physical form, and some wearable devices and technologies have this exact goal in mind.

The blank canvas wasn't a hurdle; it was an invitation. An invitation to think, to wrestle, to connect disparate dots until a clear, compelling strategy emerged. Today, that invitation often comes in the form of a blinking cursor in a prompt box. The promise is seductive: speed, efficiency, and democratized creativity.

I take the product apart. CAD it up. Illustrate each view. Then animate and lay it out for the web. That sounds quick, but it does take me quite a bit of time to create each one.

Your brain accounts for roughly 2% of your body weight but consumes about 20% of your daily energy. That consumption isn't evenly distributed across all mental activities. Focused, voluntary attention (the kind you use when navigating a rocky trail or solving a puzzle you care about) draws on neural circuits that are remarkably efficient when properly engaged.

Performance is a critical factor in user engagement, where even minor delays in loading can deter users. A clean and simple user interface also contributes significantly to user retention.

Tuning frictional behavior on the fly has been a long-standing engineering dream. This new insight into how surface geometry governs slip pulses paves the way for tunable frictional metamaterials that can transition from low-friction to high-grip states on demand.

Instructions I created. Instructions I am continuing to hone - instructions that required me to study my own old essays, identifying what I do when I write. The sentence rhythms. The way I move between timescales. The zooming in and out from concept to detail. The instructions tell Claude how I would like ideas composed. I pull together concepts and experiences from my lived expertise to formulate a point of view - in this case, on this new AI technology.

The normative form for interacting with what we think of as "AI" is something like this: there's a chat you type a question you wait for a few seconds you start seeing an answer. you start reading it you read or scan some more tens of seconds longer, while the rest of the response appears you maybe study the response in more detail you respond the loop continues

As a fitness writer and mom, I'm constantly multitasking. Whether it's meeting deadlines or managing my household, it can sometimes be hard to put myself first. I prefer walking and running outdoors for cardio, and I even have a jogging stroller to bring my son along for the ride. Now that winter has set in, it's harder to get movement in. If you work remotely and don't want to skip out on your step count, an under-desk treadmill might be a good option to have on hand.
