flexagonIt's unfortunate that I just wrote about minimalism yesterday, because I read some fun articles & posts today.
The fictional extreme-minimalist future: had you noticed that a lot of science fiction portrays totally antiseptic environments? Someone wrote about it, amusingly, in Table Space: the Final Frontier. Which was posted about on Unclutterer, and that in turn inspired a commenter to write his own more thoughtful essay on what emotional life might look like in a future that is not sentimental about material things.
A set of very interesting reads. Also, I've had THX 1138 sitting on my shelf for a while, and now I want to watch it this weekend.
