From the Surface of the Sea

If you’ve ever wondered what’s down in the ocean deeps, the funnest version of the answer is that we mostly don’t know!
Here’s an interesting article featuring graphic illustrations by Angela Hsieh, showing what we know about the ocean, its depths, the differences between the Sunlit, Midnight, and other zones, and the many (many) things we have yet to discover about the oceans that surround us.
Why researchers are racing to study the world’s ocean – NPR
Did you know that the ocean produces approximately half of the world’s oxygen? Or that key medicines have come from ocean discoveries, like a painkiller found in a sea snail?
It’s all true! And so is this fact: Scientists know more about space than Earth’s ocean. Seriously, humans haven’t seen 99.999% of the deep sea floor.
So cool!

Living a Life
Posted in Other, tagged #365Ways, #365Ways2025, another Hank Green quote, human existence, Thoughts on July 20, 2025| Leave a Comment »
People things are the hardest work, but also often the most important work. Orient yourself not just toward the construction and acquisition of new tools, but to the needs of people, and that include you, it includes your friends and your family. I think we can sometimes feel so powerful and like the world is so big that throwing a birthday party or making a playlist for a friend can seem too insignificant when placed against the enormity of Al and climate change and the erosion of democracy. But those thoughts alienate you from the reality of human existence, from your place as a builder not just of tools, but of meaning. And that’s not just about impact and productivity and problem solving, it is about living a life.

Not getting everything done you’d hoped? Life intruding into your carefully made plans? It happens. Some days are weird.
And some days you just need to give yourself a break.

Art’s Enemy

“For only after, can one nail down, examine, explain. To try to know beforehand is to freeze and kill. Self-consciousness is the enemy of all art, be it acting, writing, painting, or living itself, which is the greatest art of all.”
― Ray Bradbury
