The Friday Five: Mind Over Matter
This week's thefridayfive
1. What is the last shower thought you had (aka random thought in the shower or during downtime)
Absolutely no idea; maybe: "This shower isn't up to much", when I chose the one in the local pool that turned to be just a dribble of water.
2. What is the last thing you changed your mind about?
Well, this evening I changed my mind about which route I'll take travelling to tomorrow's walk.
3. What was the last low-stakes argument you were in about?
It was probably something football related, like how would I react to this, maybe, or who supports the best team.
4. What is an idea you have that you know would probably never work, but it would be cool if it did?
During the pandemic lockdowns, I tried to think of some complex device that would allow two people to give each other a virtual physical hug while not in the room. It would probably involve a huge mannequin that somehow matched the movements of your friend, and in the end it didn't pass my own risk assessment, like people being somehow crushed to death in this mannequin's arms.
5. Who is someone who has ideas you like, or take inspiration from?
No idea, really. One of my friends has come up with ideas for a martial arts demonstration (karate v taekwon-do), and how it could be managed; I liked his ideas.
