I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything. |

| rantnrave:// Being on semi-vacation made me realize how much rest I need to recover and how much sleep I lack that impedes my recovery. Working on it... Highly recommend you watch CONVICTION, an original, eleven-episode digital documentary series from the producers of DATELINE NBC. Chronicles the case of NEW YORK STATE inmate RICHARD ROSARIO, who was convicted of a 1996 murder in NEW YORK CITY. Producer and friend DAN SLEPIAN has dedicated many, many years of his life to spotlighting miscarriages of justices and helping to get the innocent free.... Music, sports and fashion dailies are off today... Happy Birthday to CATHERINE HOUSER and STEVE BORDEN. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |

| The journey to the Chhota Shigri Glacier, in the Himalayan peaks of northern India, begins thousands of feet below, in New Delhi-a city of twenty-five million people, where smoke from diesel trucks and cow-dung fires dims the sky and where the temperature on a hot summer day can reach a hundred and fifteen degrees. | | |

| Late into the night on St. Patrick's Day, Netflix hosted a makeshift "war room" at the company's Silicon Valley headquarters. Engineers and product wranglers sat loosely around a long, U-shaped formation of desks, monitoring diagnostics and Hipchat conversations. Linguists and translators patrolled a ring of television sets to check subtitles and dubs in a dozen languages. | | |

| An exclusive sneak peak at the book "Disrupted." If you made a movie about a laid-off, sad-sack, fiftysomething guy who is given one big chance to start his career over, the opening scene might begin like this: a Monday morning in April, sunny and cool, with a brisk wind blowing off the Charles River in Cambridge, Mass. | | |

| It's his country now-we just vote in it. Photographs by Mark Abramson "THE FED OWNS COWS!" a protester bellowed at me as I moved blindly toward the doors of a Donald Trump rally. It was February 8, the eve of the New Hampshire Republican primary, and I was surrounded by whirling white. | | |

| Maturity doesn't have to be boring. The 40-year old Apple doesn't lack the challenges it needs, both external and internal, to stay interesting. I'll begin with a bit of the personal history that colors my views of Apple. I was born a geek. | | |

| The best founder/CEOs want to build long-lasting, strong companies. But this isn't just a want, it's a need - especially today as companies stay private longer. CEOs who expect their companies to be acquired as a "quick exit" aren't going to have it easy. | | |

| One year into a double life sentence, Ross Ulbricht planted an apple seed in a sun-lit corner of his prison cell. It came to life in a damp towel before a guard took the sapling away. Instead of throwing it out, someone placed the small plant in the counselor's office. | | |

| Palmer Luckey has never used an Oculus Rift. That's what the founder of Oculus keeps telling himself as he unboxes the commercial version of the virtual reality system he invented. Opens the package. Takes out the few elements-the headset, the single cable that connects it to a computer, the small cylindrical infrared camera that tracks it in space. | | |

| I heard the word whispered behind me, as faint as the rustle of leaves. "Grief." On group hikes up Mount Kuchumaa, on wisteria-covered walkways, in the lounge over chamomile tea: "I'm grieving." "Grief." "Grief." I didn't expect my week at Rancho La Puerta, a spa in Tecate, Mexico, to be awash in tears. | | |

| I've been thinking a lot about the relationships we form online. One of my favorite things to do is to deep-dive within various online communities, exploring their culture, rituals, and habits. From obscure fandoms and hobby groups to lifestyle forums and hashtag movements, I'm always fascinated by the ever-changing nature of our online interactions. | | |

| Donald Trump is likely on the verge of losing the Republican primary, falling short of the number of delegates required to win the presidential nomination. But, as bullies are wont to do, Trump is now trying desperately to change the rules-to argue that the nomination should go not to the candidate who wins 1,237 delegates but to whoever comes closest. | | |

| A man in Oakland, California, disrupted web development around the world last week by deleting 11 lines of code. The story of how 28-year-old Azer Koçulu briefly broke the internet shows how writing software for the web has become dependent on a patchwork of code that itself relies on the benevolence of fellow programmers. | | |

| Most twenty-somethings will never belong to a union - and may never know anyone who does. But many are in need of a job (unemployment for those under 25 is 18%) and many more are sitting on student loans, the sum of which now total more than $1 trillion nationally. | | |

| Back in 1961, the gradual decline of many city centers in the U.S. began to puzzle urban planners and activists alike. One of them, the urban sociologist Jane Jacobs, began a widespread and detailed investigation of the causes and published her conclusions in The Death and Life of Great American Cities, a controversial book that proposed four conditions that are essential for vibrant city life. | | |
