Grave Expectations: Tourism’s Relationship with Death
Tourism and death share a profound connection despite their apparent contrast. From Auschwitz to Angkor Wat, millions visit sites marked by tragedy and history annually. This fascination reveals our complex relationship with mortality—whether driven by morbid curiosity, educational pursuit, or cultural respect. Through these travels, we confront death from a safe distance, finding meaning in humanity's darkest moments while engaging with mortality in ways both transformative and occasionally controversial.

Design x Death: The Aesthetics of Decay and Endings in Art
Design and death are not opposites; they are collaborators. Every design carries an expiration date, whether in the slow decay of material or the shifting trends of taste. Instead of resisting this, artists and designers have long found ways to embrace it, creating beauty not despite impermanence, but because of it.

The Digital Afterlife and the Fight to Preserve Information
While administrations often modify or remove web content, the scope of this digital purge was unprecedented. Some pages reappeared after revisions, while others were permanently lost. The event underscored an unsettling reality: in the digital age, information can disappear in an instant. And yet, paradoxically, the internet has long been seen as a place where nothing ever truly dies.

Versioning Up: How We Rewrite Ourselves Every Day
We are both structured and adaptable, born with an intricate operating system—our DNA—while constantly updating through experience. Consider Apple’s iOS, an advanced system with over 100 million lines of code, while human DNA (in any single cell) contains over 3 billion base pairs, forming our biological foundation. But unlike software, we are self-rewriting. We observe, we debug, we evolve. While AI systems, like OpenAI’s models, refine outputs through learning, they lack conscious intent and self-awareness—qualities that allow us to reflect, create, and redefine our purpose. So how do we take charge of our own updates? How do we debug our thoughts and refine our habits? The answer lies in mindfulness, adaptability, and a growth mindset.

Born to Travel: Humanity’s Instinct to Roam
From ancient epics to modern bestsellers, our fascination with transformative journeys permeates our collective consciousness. Perhaps it's genetic, or maybe it's anthropological - a prehistoric need to explore that persists within our reptilian brain. Backpackers swap continents seeking self-improvement, while wellness retreats offer rebirth to the wealthy. Even those confined to their homes consume travel narratives voraciously, satisfying the urge vicariously. This deep-rooted instinct manifests differently across cultures and individuals, yet the theme of transformation remains constant. There's something primal about our belief that travel holds the answer to whatever question plagues us.

Just a week ago, Microsoft announced a groundbreaking development: the invention of an entirely new kind of quantum computer and, in the process, the creation of a new state of matter—a topological superconductor. This isn’t just another small step in quantum computing; it’s a leap forward that could transform the landscape of computing as we know it.

The Birth of Design: How Creation Shapes Our World
In every act of creation, there is an origin—a spark, a moment where an idea first takes form. Design, in its essence, is a kind of birth. Whether it's the birth of a building, a product, a brand, or an experience, design is the intentional act of bringing something into existence. It is both a technical process and an emotional one, deeply tied to human instinct, necessity, and imagination.
