155: Accidental Koans

There is surprising wisdom hidden in the era of the infinite scroll.

I've written previously about tech epochs, the fundamental human paradox, and my recurring fascinaton with robot rebellions.

I've also shared some (bad) puns:

116: Hidden Mindfulness
Embedded software meditations.


Here are a few more mindfulness metaphors found in technology.

Low Battery

Is your battery running low?

low power mode

Time to recharge.
Switch to low power mode.


404 Redirect

It looks like you may be lost.
What you're looking for cannot be found.


Bluetooth device pairing

Ready to connect to a device?
You cannot connect to your machine.

Waiting for a device...


Ctrl+ Alt + Del

Force quit what does not serve you.
Restart and refresh.

Airplane mode

When it feels like you have too many tabs open...

Simplify. Do not disturb.
Go on airplane mode for the mind.




Brainstorm more!
