Ted Goia has a good follow-up post on his dopamine culture piece. In the follow-up, he focuses on ritual as one of the resistances to dopamine culture.

First pro bike race of the spring Cobbled Classics, Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, in 48 hours! I will be continuing my completely cheesy tradition of marking the occasion with waffles and Belgian beer. (Yes, at 8am. It makes for a interesting morning.)

So whaddya say, folks, should we just start sending zines to each other through the mail? (via @jaheppler)

I think about this a lot, actually. I don’t have time for it now but maybe, sometime?

I always look forward to the spring ephemerals.

We’re expecting a bit of snow today but OFA says it’ll be an early spring. Warmer-than-average temperatures and lower-than-normal rainfall here in the Ohio Valley.

Is there any way to get the “new post” page on the web interface to remember (instead of having to click the option every time) to show categories? @help

This from Rebecca Solnit (via @sod) feels like a dispatch from a foreign war correspondent. “Do people really live like this? How is this madness possible?”

Interviewing candidates today for a newly created financial analyst position. I’m comfortable interviewing for straight-up accounting positions but this one will be something new for me. I’m actually a bit nervous!

Anyone know of a way to see a list of posts that haven’t been categorized? Ideally, within the micro.blog site itself where I can assign categories to them.

I’ve taken a notion to post occasional videos. Hikes, gardening, woodworking projects, poetry—whatever. I wanted to use micro.blog’s video capability but the max limit is about one minute. I may create a YouTube account and use their unlisted option, unless anyone knows of an easy non-google way.
