Technology-Nature Dynamic

So, I was hesitant on posting this, thinking it might be too arbitrary or not well enough articulated, but since I’m treating these articles as a set of journal entries more so than traditional blog posts, I’m going to go with it…

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about mindfulness, and the practice of such has been my routine for the past couple of weeks. It’s helped me tremendously, in terms of overcoming my addictions (mainly, food) and just seeing the world in a clearer light.

However, as I write this I’m two Red Bull’s, a couple slices of pizza into a Hackathon, and I’m so consumed by code and shitty foodstuffs, that I had to take a big step back to remember to pay attention.

Code is a big part of my life, being a developer and all, yet at the same time, code is tremendously abstract and innately disconnected from the paradigms of reality.

Guess I’ll just have to get used to that…
