Notes and links from the week

Most days I read through posts from my blogroll and other places on the web and publish a short set of links and notes. At the end of each week I roll these up into a post which is also sent to everyone who subscribes by email.

Here are this week’s notes. Click the links below to discover interesting places to explore:

• June 21: sounds of longing. One trans person’s experience in the USA and a beautiful new album of Persian music.
• June 23: black holes. Are we living in a real black hole? And what is the price of the cognitive black holes we live in?
• June 24: the long and the short of it. Seems people are enjoying longer cultural experiences, but having shorter collaborative ones.
• June 25: supporting creation. Freeing up time for play and creativity in life, music and sport.
• June 26: the deep history of meaningful work. Some quotes for inspiration and some long essays on how we evolved civilization from our big goofy brains.
