My favorite bit of cycling back from work is freewheeling down the hill on 32nd Ave E. It’s quite steep so you can go pretty fast but not so dangerous that you have to use the brakes. If its dark out then there is also an interesting lighting effect – as you pass under the streetlights your shadows seem to sneak up behind you and then zoom past before fading in the glow of the next light. It freaked me out a little when I first noticed it and didn’t realize what it was.

November 28th, 2005Interview your future self
November 27th, 2005I thought of a cool idea while listening to This American Life on Friday. Imagine you could talk to a future version of yourself, 10 years older than you are now. What would you ask them? Record (audio or video) a set of questions for them, put them in a time capsule and in 10 years time record the answers. Splice the questions and answers together to make a interview across time instead of between two individuals. Of course, follow-up questions could be tricky.
