Need a moment to relax? Google’s experimental division has teamed up with the Johns Hopkins International Arts + Mind Lab to bring you this call to chill:
In Rhythm with Nature — Google Arts & Culture
May it help your day be more peaceful.
This being Tuesday, however, I’m off to find a delicious cup of piping hot caffeine. I’ll relax tomorrow!

Today was the first afternoon that felt like summer. What a perfect time to resurface this recipe for a lime freeze!
(And also a perfect time to lounge around drinking said lime freeze. Just saying.)

Once upon a time, children, before mass production and digital copies and backups and cloud synching, it was possible to wipe a thing from the world completely.
Or maybe not? Here’s a fun story about business feuds and artistic obsession!
Remnants of a Legendary Typeface Have Been Rescued From the River Thames
The depths of the river Thames in London hold many unexpected stories, gleaned from the recovery of prehistoric tools, Roman pottery, medieval jewelry, and much more besides. Yet the tale of the lost (and since recovered) Doves typeface is surely one of the most peculiar.

I reread a lot of books. (For example, I’m currently rereading Thursday Murder Club series. The trick is to wait just long enough to forget, but not so long that you don’t remember;)
Sometimes I also like to reread my blog posts. Not for my own perspective, that usually hasn’t changed, but for the interesting things I’ve shared but may have forgotten.
It’s also why I like the Random Post option. I never know what might pop up!
