Тим Урбан, создатель блога Wait But Why, знает, что в прокрастинации нет никакого смысла. Тем не менее ему редко удавалось взять себя в руки и выполнить то, что надо, не затягивая до последнего момента. В своем забавном, но глубоком выступлении, проведя нас через дебри YouTube, "черные дыры" Википедии и прочие "прокрастинирующие" занятия, он заставляет задуматься о том, почему мы на самом деле прокрастинируем и что теряем, "теряя время".

Мы можем отчасти направлять эволюцию бактерий, растений и животных. Футуролог Хуан Энрикес задается вопросом: "Этично ли делать то же самое с человеком?" Начав рассуждение со средневековых грубых протезов, он рассуждает о бионике и генетике и предлагает заглянуть в будущее. По его мнению, чтобы выйти за пределы Земли, человеку придется многое изменить в своём собственном теле.

I haven't mowed much this year. And we're moving, maybe to a mountain road.

Thinking about many of my favourite walks in Ireland. Up Croagh Patrick in the fog. Along the eroded cliffs from Greystones to Bray. Shuffling miles after work from the DART. Getting my first hiking boots for treks up the Sugarloaf Mountains. Enjoying the colour purple in the Knockmealdown Mountains. Seeing topless Germans on Achill Island. Smelling lovely aromas at night in centre city Dublin. Lifted by the smell of hops in Kilkenny's laneways. Sucking on raspberries along the boreens of County

Bernie experiments at @omaniblog's request by using iOS11 to hear both audio and video content before repurposing that content as MP3 uploads to Anchor. No Waves were harmed during this experimentation with Limor, Anchor, Converter+ and Voice Record Pro (in cover art).

Avoiding meat and dairy is the single biggest way to reduce my impact on Earth. Research published in the journal Science shows even the very lowest impact meat and dairy products still cause much more environmental harm than the least sustainable vegetable and cereal growing. "A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use, and water use", says Joseph Poore, at the University of

I HAVE SPENT three years listening in the wings as some of my lifelong friends politely talked about how they were making, creating, and sharing open source Drupal services. On the 23rd of July 2018, I jumped into the deep end and created http://www.underway.ie powered by Drupal 7. I'm deeply appreciative of Ruth Maher, Tim Kirby, and Jochen Lillich for offering a well-lighted pathway during my journey back into MySQL, PHP, Javascript, and content development.
