I look down at the banana peel. It grew out of the earth, traveled across the globe, and was carried to this spot to adopt its new station as a natural element in an unnatural world.

Banana Times Square has an unnatural resonance, one you cannot become attuned to. It hums from electrified currents pumped into sky-high advertisements. It buzzes from worker bees shuffling across cement pathways. It aches as black and yellow caravans ebb and flow through its arteries. But there is nothing natural here. Nothing grows here. It is a completely artificial hive colonized by none whom belong to it.

It’s only a mistake if you make it twice I used to encourage my teams and colleagues to 'Celebrate Failures.' Otherwise, we hide shared learnings from one another when we sweep mistakes under the rug in shame. The truth is, we all know this, we all fail from time to time.

I need to improve my browser extension tools. Who has good color sampling, and spacing tools suggestions that I can use to quickly breakdown an existing site.

I highly doubt cavemen were taking 8-hour rests. And I know hundreds of years ago folks would get up and do things in the middle of the night and then go back to bed for a bit.

Personally, I never really sleep more than 6 hours a night unless I'm sick or especially exhausted.

I keep learning about "life rules" that are absolutely capitalist plays to pull money out of our wallets. The food pyramid, for example, was designed to promote higher margin, sugary foods to keep us buying.

So I'm curious, where did the 8-hours of sleep per night rule come from? Is it legit?
