Showing up a few minutes early to the WordPress meetup this afternoon.
It’s pretty cool to see a public library “hiding” inside of a bigger commercial strip mall. More communities should embed their libraries into spaces like this for expanded convenience.
Directed by George Lucas. With Ewan McGregor, Liam Neeson, Natalie Portman, Jake Lloyd. Two Jedi escape a hostile blockade to find allies and come across a young boy who may bring balance to the Force, but the long dormant Sith resurface to claim their old glory.
Thought I’d go back and re-watch the canon in story-time chronological order.
I’m still not happy with the heavy handed stereotyping that occurs in this film. I’m still not a Jar Jar fan either. He and Anakin benefit from far too much deus ex machina in this episode.
Rating: ★★½

NewsDiffs archives changes in articles after publication. Currently, we track nytimes.com, cnn.com, politico.com, washingtonpost.com, and bbc.co.uk.
NewsDiffs, which was born out of the Knight Mozilla MIT hackathon in June 2012, is trying to solve the problem of archiving news in the constantly evolving world of online journalism.
It was recently added to the thousand sites archived by the Library of Congress.
The New York Times highlighted NewsDiffs in the public editor's column (which had previously discussed the difficulties of revisions in the digital age). The next New York Times public editor even joined us for a 2013 SXSW panel (slides available online)
The changes which have drawn the most attention are the addition of "on this issue" to a New York Times editorial about Obama after the PRISM disclosures, and the disappearance of beef stroganoff from the obituary of a rocket scientist.
You can browse our repository of articles. Or you can take a look at some of the examples of articles that have changed.
If you are a developer, you can check out the Github repository.
If you want updates, you can subscribe to our newsletter, or you can follow NewsDiffs on Twitter.
I wish there was a way to subscribe to writers the same way you can use RSS. Obviously twitter gets you the closest, but usually a whole lot more than just the articles they’ve written. It would be awesome if every time Danny Chau or Wesley Morris published a piece I’d know.
Welcome to The Independent Variable, a digital publication for news that doesn’t matter written by me, mynameiskev.in (I may or may not matter). I also have a propensity for completenonsen.se (but that’s just between you and me). I call this here thing a digital publication, but in all honesty, you‘ll just find things like link and video posts from across the interwebs along with the occasional list (who doesn’t love to hate lists?) and maybe even an article or two. All posts are tagged according to the icon key in case you ever get confused, lost, or completely fed up with me.
Directed by Kristen Lester. With Bret 'Brook' Parker, Michael Daley, Michael Frederickson, Erik Langley. An earnest ball of yarn named Purl gets a job at a fast-paced, high energy, male-centric start-up. Things start to unravel as she tries to fit in with this close-knit group. Purl must ask herself how far is she willing to go to get the acceptance she yearns for and in the end is it worth it?
A cute, yet effective short little film with a solid message.
Directed by Domee Shi. With Sindy Lau, Sharmaine Yeoh, Tim Zhang. A Chinese-Canadian woman suffering from empty nest syndrome gets a second shot at motherhood when one of her handmade dumplings comes alive.
Wow! What an allegory here. This had someone balling for about 20 minutes at the eating of the bao…

New Year’s resolutions aren’t like ordinary goals. In theory they have a far more powerful effect on our psyche because the start of a new year symbolizes new beginnings, a new chapter and a clean slate. Nevertheless, researchers tell us that over 1/2 of us will fail to commit to their New Year resolutions past six months. No sooner have we set our resolutions and announced them on social media, we find ourselves finding reasons to give them up.
So why then should meditation and mindfulness be the first two resolutions on your list? Because life is unpredictable, stress is normal and mindfulness can help you with all of it. A mindful meditation practice can helps you develop enough stillness to become aware of your internal state and the forces that drive your day to day behavior. In this way your meditation practice can go a long way to helping you keep your other promises to yourself! It also allows us the time and space to sit with difficult feelings and make better choices toward more helpful behavior. Finally, our time in meditation naturally spills over to become everyday mindfulness and the next thing you know, you're actually paying attention to the actual moments of your actual life! How radical!
