Has anyone found solutions for surviving social noise?
I'm talking about art openings or restaurants, spaces with many voices running at full volume and bouncing off the reflective walls like an autitory torture trampoline
Earplugs don't cut it, they mute everyone equally
What's your fav voice transcription software/service?
considerations: privacy policy (do they have one? Are they selling data?) price (I love a flat rate over a subscription), live transcription (nice!) english and french language support
What animals do you see?
I've been taking my morning coffee outside. Snowpants on, perched on a broken plastic adirondack chair for a few minutes.
I get this feeling that I've missed for years. It was one of the hardest things about quitting smoking, years ago. Spending time alone with the morning, every morning.
benefits?! yes!

Last week I made a game about how scary it is to bike without bike lanes. Then on Saturday, with the unbelievable irony of life, I was biking on a street without a bike lane and something bad happened.
