Here is an instrument I invented, play and write for.

It's a Bamboo stalk with 8 strings spiraling around it.
Played with a bow it sounds something like Cello with a more harmonic rich tone.

It's pretty tall, about 6 and a half feet in height.
Enjoy! : ]

Environmental protection is *important*!
Gandalf to Théoden after breaking the spell: “Breathe the free air again, my friend.”

Me to myself on landing in Melbourne: “Breathe the breathable air again, my friend.”
Spent the first leg of my Delhi-Melbourne flight with my throat feeling like someone was scraping it with nails, and my nasal cavity as if someone had spread tar over it. Just like all of last month.

When I land in MLB, I’ll take a moment, look at a blue sky, and *breathe* in the unpoisoned air.

I can be very forgetful and incredibly easily distracted, so I have to make lists. First point on the list is often “finish writing list”. Then headings for other sub-lists.

Lately I’ve been thinking that money is really a record of the debt of work. That there is always the “same” amount of money that gets divided into differently sized pools. It’s neither created or destroyed, just moved or measured into smaller, larger or potential currencies (like shares or debt).

When a rich person says they have created wealth, they haven’t created it. They have moved money from someone else to themselves.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

A catch 22 with mental health services in Australia is that because they are so difficult and complicated and expensive people that have mental health issues can’t access them without help.

bit late but here we go. Sumo is the only sport I kinda get into as a viewer. It has it all. Tension, personal sacrifice, suspicious ranking and ritual. What's not to like? I do miss being able to spend all afternoon at a match www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZunD...
