  8. Website Owner Tip: Provide *helpful* contact info. For example, if you provide a phone number, tell the user when's the best time to call. Perhaps even a bit of client side code that tells the user if **now** is a good time to call? With email addresses, how about telling them how long they're likely to wait for a reply? #web #tip #ux

  12. Tip/Challenge for amateur acoustic #music producers/#recording engineers: Get some audio from a live performance off youtube. It'll be badly recorded, probably with a camera mic that rolls off over 10kHz or something like that. It's *great* EQ practise.

  17. #Idea for #perfume: 'Eau de #Luthier'. An intensely aromatic blend of wood and bone dust mixed with sweat, and then a rich after-smell of shellac, alcohol, thixotropic grain filler and white spirit. Comes in an atomiser or re-fills for your spray gun. No need for me to buy it — that's how I'll be smelling for the next two weeks. Just started finishing and already my nose is overloaded.

  18. #TTC Chapter 26 Here's the twenty sixth #TaoTeChing chapter. Let me know what you think it means in the comments or at http://waterpigs.co.uk/tao-te-ching/chapters/26/ --- The heavy is the root of the light. The still is the master of unrest. Therefore the sage, traveling all day, Does not lose sight of his baggage. Though there are beautiful things to be seen, He remains unattached and calm. Why should the lord of ten thousand chariots act lightly in public? To be light is to lose one's root. To be restless is to lose one's control. --- #taoism #philosophy

    The heavy is the root of the light.
    The still is the master of unrest.

    Therefore the sage, traveling all day,
    Does not lose sight of his baggage.
    Though there are beautiful things to be seen,
    He remains unattached and calm.

    Why should the lord of ten thousand chariots act lightly in public?
    To be light is to lose one's root.

    To be restless is to lose one's control.

In the silence and the void, Standing alone and unchanging, Ever present and in motion. Perhaps it is the mother of ten thousand things. I do not know its name Call it Tao. For lack of a better word, I call it great. Being great, it flows It flows far away. Having gone far, it returns. Therefore, "Tao is great; Heaven is great; Earth is great; The king is also great." These are the four great powers of the universe, And the king is one of them. Man follows Earth. Earth follows heaven. Heaven follows the Tao. Tao follows what is natural --- #taoism #philosophy

    Something mysteriously formed,
    Born before heaven and Earth.
    In the silence and the void,
    Standing alone and unchanging,
    Ever present and in motion.
    Perhaps it is the mother of ten thousand things.
    I do not know its name Call it Tao.
    For lack of a better word,
    I call it great.

    Being great, it flows It flows far away.
    Having gone far, it returns.

    Therefore,
    "Tao is great;
    Heaven is great;
    Earth is great;
    The king is also great." These are the four great powers of the universe,
    And the king is one of them.

    Man follows Earth.
    Earth follows heaven.
    Heaven follows the Tao.

    Tao follows what is natural

  20. #TTC Chapter 23 Here's the twenty third chapter of the #TaoTeChing. Let me know what you think it means in the comments or at http://waterpigs.co.uk/tao-te-ching/chapters/23/ --- To talk little is natural. High winds do not last all morning. Heavy rain does not last all day. Why is this? Heaven and Earth! If heaven and Earth cannot make things eternal, How is it possible for man? He who follows the Tao Is at one with the Tao. He who is virtuous Experiences Virtue. He who loses the way Is lost. When you are at one with the Tao, The Tao welcomes you. When you are at one with Virtue, The Virtue is always there. When you are at one with loss, The loss is experienced willingly. He who does not trust enough Will not be trusted. -- #taoism #philosophy

    To talk little is natural.
    High winds do not last all morning.
    Heavy rain does not last all day.
    Why is this? Heaven and Earth! If heaven and Earth cannot make things eternal,
    How is it possible for man?
    He who follows the Tao Is at one with the Tao.
    He who is virtuous Experiences Virtue.
    He who loses the way Is lost.
    When you are at one with the Tao,
    The Tao welcomes you.
    When you are at one with Virtue,
    The Virtue is always there.
    When you are at one with loss,
    The loss is experienced willingly.

    He who does not trust enough Will not be trusted.
