Divest in Interfaces

Image
I recently read a blog post by someone whose opinion I generally value. It's ironic then, that my first official blog post is a rebuttal of theirs . The niche advice I've heard in the past is "Anything between you and the ground is worth investing in". This applies to shoes, office chairs, a mattress and pillow, even tires for your car. The idea is that this will improve your quality of life, since gravity impacts us constantly. In Luke's blog, he takes it a step further. Don't just invest in gravity abatement, invest in interfaces. His final argument is this: we spend large portions of our lives interacting with interfaces. Some of the easiest, most cost-effective quality-of-life wins might come from just reflecting on the interfaces you are currently using heavily, and asking if they can be improved. Here, I offer an alternative mode of thinking. I propose the idea of divesting in interfaces. I posit that interfaces, if invested in, lead to fragility. Ever s...

We were on a paddleboard and we saw lots of dolphins. I did not jump off the rock. We had our friends too. Our friend found 3 apple watches. We found two owners for the apple watches and the last one we took to the lifeguard. 😀💓

Waimea Dolphins (Ava)

I went to Waimea Bay and I saw dolphins. I went on a paddleboard out into the ocean and saw dolphins. They were doing tricks like flipping. It was amazing. I was with Abby, Crew, and Cannon. We saw a lot of dolphins. It was sooooo cool we had a lot of fun. Then we went to find apple watches. We swam near the rock where everyone was jumping. When they jumped with their watch on, it would slip off when they hit the water. We found 3 watches. 2 were brown and 1 was white. Two of the people already left, so we didn't give them back. The other one was looking for it. She even hugged Cannon and gave him $10. 👍💖💖😊
