What starts as a review of a #LineRider track turns into a multi-hour treatise about the creative process. It goes into detail on works from several other types of media, including some experimental plays and even Pannenkoek2012's famous "Watch for Rolling Rocks" video.
It gives practical advice on finding your audience, dealing with critique and criticism, and being supportive of art…

Icelandic Volcano erupts for fourth time in three months
Icelandic police have declared a state of emergency as lava spewed from a new volcanic fissure on the #Reykjanes #peninsula, the fourth eruption to hit the area since December.
A volcanic eruption “started between stora Skogfell and Hagafell”, said …

Remember back in 2010 when a volcanic eruption in Iceland disrupted transatlantic flights?
Currently, there is no risk of this disruption.
However, I’ve often pondered what would happen if there was a major European tech conference with a heavy North American attendee profile (cough :KubeCon: cough) and a similar situation occurred again. Would everyone stay put? Fly the “wrong” direction to get home?
I don’t know why I think about such things.

Iceland volcano erupts again near Grindavik, Blue Lagoon evacuated
A volcano in Iceland has erupted for the fourth time in three months, sending orange jets of lava into the night sky. Iceland’s Meteorological Office said the eruption Saturday evening opened a fissure in the earth about two miles long between Stóra-Skógfell and Hagafell mountains on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Hundreds of people have been evacuated from the Blue Lagoon thermal spa, one of Iceland’s top tourist attractions. The eruption site is a few miles northeast of Grindavik, a coastal t…

Magnetophononics and the Chiral Phonon Misnomer
The direct, ultrafast excitation of polar phonons with electromagnetic radiation is a potent strategy for controlling the properties of a wide range of materials, particularly in the context of influencing their magnetic behavior. Here, we show that, contrary to common perception, the origin of phonon-induced magnetic activity does not stem from the motion of ions themselves; instead, it arises from the effect their motion exerts on the electron subsystem. Through the mechanism of electron-phon…
