As a poet I hold the most archaic values on earth … the fertility of the soil, the magic of animals, the power-vision in solitude, the terrifying initiation and rebirth, the love and ecstasy of the dance, the common work of the tribe. I try to hold both history and the wilderness in mind, that my poems may approach the true measure of things and stand against the unbalance and ignorance of our times.

—Gary Snyder

Know your tome – anatomy of the book. Pair with how a book is made, from antiquity to the Middle Ages to today.

Twenty years later and I’m back to picking out the color of my headbands.

Google Earth Engine is a joint project between Google and NASA that allows anyone access to a 30 year time-lapse of the surface of the earth. I made a video about how amazing, terrifying, and important it is.

El club de los cinco.

Unos carteles espectaculares para la mítica película “The Breakfast Club”. Además de otros valores, la música de su banda sonora sigue mereciendo la pena escucharla.
