Writer Joseph Grantham on moving to a small town, having a space to do your work, and intentionally fucking up your life.

The hot days of summer are about to transform you. To find out how, let's take a stroll down to the Luangwa River and commune with our friend, the hippopotamus.Ahh… the hot and lazy days of summ

Two-thirds of side hustlers say they took on a second job in order to have more spending money, but often they spend thousands of dollars to get these gigs off the ground. Even worse, these ventures can put one's full-time job at risk.

Practice makes perfect. You have probably heard it a million times. When people say the same thing over and over again it’s easy to overlook it.

Scientists from Heriot-Watt University have welded glass and metal together using an ultrafast laser system, in a breakthrough for the manufacturing industry. Various optical materials such as quartz, borosilicate glass and even sapphire were all successfully welded to metals like aluminium, titanium and stainless steel using the Heriot-Watt laser system, which provides very short, picosecond pulses of infrared light in tracks along the materials to fuse them together.

Here’s a “life-hack” — when someone tells you that your biggest fuck up was probably for the best, don’t believe them. Don’t believe a word of it. No matter what they say, it’s not true — unless they’re actually a part of your project or company or they have a personal reason to want you to win. The fact is, most people are going to want you to fail.
