Go a bit further and use pencil or charcoal so you can smell the wood and lead and feel the texture of the drawing surface, helping your brain make more connections. It also allows you to make more mistakes, which can lead to surprising dir

Try circles instead of a square. Not 1 and 0, but infinity. You matter more than you think. Very good book: https://www.youmattermorethanyouthink.com/

Ditto! Love reading and writing on paper, but do read and write quite a bit on computer screens, too. Phone screens are too small and uncomfortable for me. No TV at home, either. And even videogames, which I love, have held less and less in

Making a strict hour and a half of no-interruption a day has worked well for me. Learned this from John Cleese (feel free to ignore the word “management” in the title of the video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb5oIIPO62

Guitars certainly have a more intimate connection between the touch of fingers and the sound, including the bending of the tone, one of Hendrix’s virtuosities. Keyboards can approach that with polyphonic touch keys like the Hydrasynth (lean

Hmmm, I disagree, having played electric and acoustic guitars for over two decades and begun learning piano and synths for the first time in 2025. For one, you can’t easily play two melodies simultaneously across several octaves, using both

This brings to mind this question: Should HN allow links to sites that break the back button, like all Meta sites (Ig, Fb, etc)?
