As I was lost in some cursory internet wanderings while looking up Stoic philosophy (sue me – I have some diverse interests), I had an accidental collision with some Tim Ferris articles and got sucked down into the rabbit hole.
Somewhere after listening to yet another Podcast on Stoicism and the letters of Seneca, I was inspired by Ferris to pull together a weekly series covering things which caught my attention to share with my followers. While it’s not Steemit specific, I will feature at least one blog post from Steemit which caught my attention this week.
I’d love to see others pick up the baton and post their own nuggets under the hash tag: #fivenuggets
Without further ado, five nuggets which caught my attention this week:
Timeline of the Far Future
http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/timeline-of-the-far-future
I have to offer a plug to Stumbleupon for this particular nugget. If you have never used Stumbleupon, it is by far one of the best ways to uncover content you may have never come across before. In my current episode of Stumbleupon void-filling and time-killing, I came across this killer Infographic of the far future timeline until the Earth is consumed by the sun.
Scotch, Song, & Soul - What the Water Gave Me @uniwhisp
https://steemit.com/whisky/@uniwhisp/scotch-song-and-soul-what-the-water-gave-me
I have to admit from the start, I am seriously finicky about what I curate and upvote. However, when I can find a philosophical post which combines the concepts of embracing chaos and weaves in allusions during a whisky tasting, I find myself compelled to read more. Excellent piece to check out during some spare time.
Wild new microchip tech could grow brain cells on your skin
https://www.cnet.com/news/stem-cells-skin-nanotransfection-dna-brain-organs-ohio-state-nanochip/
One of the absolute coolest things I stumbled across this week is how the Star Trek Sick Bay surgical suite will be coming to a hospital near you soon. What more can be said about how incredibly awesome it is to live in an age where, with the swipe of a microchip, skin cells can be reprogrammed to become virtually any other cell type your body might need?
Beam me up, Scotty.
Loving Vincent (Upcoming Film)
I’ve been waiting for this movie since I’d first heard about its production last year. Inspired by 120 of Vincent Van Gogh’s paintings, 125 artists pooled their collective talent to create the very first biographical film from 65,000 oil paintings done entirely by hand. They were stitched together to form live action sequences which are absolutely breathtaking. The film is due to hit theaters in the United States September 22, 2017.
American Numismatic Association (Money Museum)
I’ve been traveling through my home state of Colorado quite a bit in recent times, and my wife came across a Groupon for the “Money Museum” here in Colorado. It boasts the largest and most complete collection of American Gold coins from 1795 – 1933. While I’m not an avid coin collector, the history of currency, coins, paper currencies and other specimens do interest me, as I would imagine it would interest most crypto enthusiasts. I’m looking forward to hitting this museum sometime in the next two weeks. I’m sure a blog post will come from this.
Looking forward to seeing #fivenuggets from some others out in Steemitland.
Until next time....

growing brain cells on the skin is really is fascinating but it will get controversial even if it is just researched upon.
I would like to see that movie. Van Gogh is such a good artist for an inspiration for a movie.

@cryptopie thanks for checking out #fivenuggets.
I can see how growing brain cells from skin cells may invite controversy, but the ramifications of what this tech could do for healthcare is staggering. It goes so much further. This chip can reprogram skin cells into stem cells , and it can create cells, organs or whatever the body may need. It's something straight out of sci-fi.
In terms of the Van Gogh movie, it's something I've waited about one year to see. The entire movie is comprised of 65,000 original oil paintings from 125 different artists all modeled after Van Gogh masterpieces. I am so incredibly excited to see this film.

I wouldn't be so surprised what the future in medicine and medical technology would bring but there are much room for growth and development until maybe humans can live longer and much healthier.
I am also excited about the film, much works of art to discover too.

I noticed your blog had a number of entries on various species of birds. Are you an active birder? I can remember when I lived in New York, birding had very strong support, and we had a number of different species which migrated through Central Park. In more recent history, I had the opportunity to have a hummingbird as a guest in my garden on it's migratory path down south. First time I ever saw one.

As I was looking through your blog, I noticed you were posting a lower of the day. My daughter (who is five) would absolutely love that. Are you actively into horticulture?
One of my favorite posts on your blog was Fruit Art! The fruit decoratiin that will make you feel hungry because it has an attachment to an awesome memory.
I was a young accountant prospecting for new clients, so I went to a social event and my wife's behest. The event was held at a florist's shop and it was all about dressing your table for the holidays. Although I was the only man in the entire room, I had an excellent time. Great memories and great post.

I am glad i came across your post. One thing that got my attention really, out of your many interesting nuggets you talked about is the "American Numismatic Association".
May i plead with you to please find out if they would be interested in a coin that dates back to 1752? I have held on to this coin for some years now, and frankly i do not know what to do with it....
It would be great of you if you could be of help in this regard. Thanks.

@abasinkanga I just returned from my trip to the America Numismatic Association Museum, and I did manage to speak with someone regarding your coin.
The museum itself does not purchase directly from the public, however they can recommend coin collectors whom they may feel would both have interest and would provide a fair price. The museum will, however, analyze your specimen coin and provide tremendous amounts of information, detail and history (but not an official appraisal value).
For more information, you can contact Sam Gelberd at the American Numismatic Association either via email at [email protected] or via telephone at (719) 482-9846.

I am subscribed to Tim's newsletter where he sends something called "5-Bullet Friday".
It's nice way to serve your audience by your "Five Nuggets" campaign,
So have you decided at which day you're going to publish your series.

@vishalmukadam I just came across the idea by Tim Ferris maybe two or three days ago. Ironically I have not subscribed to his 5-bullet Friday, but I am considering it when I have a moment.
I'm thinking the #fivenuggets might be something I will release on Wednesdays, mostly because I find a majority of my audience is outside the United States. For example, when I was interviewing @firepower in Mangalore, India he and I were 12.5 hours apart due to time zone differences. Ideally I'd love to have my followers have something cool to read right before the weekend and this would have it land on Wednesday nights or Thursday mornings depending upon your time zone.
Thanks for the interest.
