#Mindfulness Moment: Exploring the teachings of the Seven Grandfathers through exploration of space ... or at least through the wonderful patch for astronaut Jeremy Hansen, painted by First Nations artist Henry Guimond: lynxthoughts.com/2026/05/05/p...

#Architecture Moment: Neat sports hall with a translucent and luminous inverted-tent roof. :) lynxthoughts.com/2026/05/04/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: On advertising, social media, and us. :) lynxthoughts.com/2026/04/21/p...

#Mindfulness Moment: A wonderful and astute reflection about our lives and the art of living, granted extra (and actual) perspective from the vicinity of the moon from Jeremy Hansen: lynxthoughts.com/2026/04/14/p...

#Architecture Moment: I love this, such a straightforward solution that doesn't try to re-invent the wheel! :) lynxthoughts.com/2026/04/13/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: It's an older meme sir, but it checks out. :)

#Architecture Moment: Another fine example of using a straightforward motif to a great effect. All with a neat twist. (Plus mass timber and a green roof as a bonus!) lynxthoughts.com/2026/04/06/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: (in sort of pithy aphorism form tonight:) Despite how it might seem at times (Or at least how it is often presented to us) We do not need a “them” to oppose or fight against In order to create a strong “us”

#Architecture Moment: The experience of being within this building was amazing. And not just because I enjoy dark blue colours... lynxthoughts.com/2026/03/30/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: Some wordplay musings & "fun" tonight. Looking at something I am truly fascinated by, our capacity for hypocrisy. Though making a case that we need a distinction around what hypocrisy is & that we might need another word for certain types of it: lynxthoughts.com/2026/03/24/p...

#Architecture Monday: I don't mind shipping container buildings as a concept, though many don't particularly excite me. Then there are those that use them as building blocks & work some magic with them, whether exposed or covered over. This is one of them. :) lynxthoughts.com/2026/03/23/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: Revisiting a great quote to expand it even further outward into the art of living in general. :) lynxthoughts.com/2026/03/17/p...

#Architecture Moment: Walkable garden hill/building. That was hiding under my nose in my figurative backyard, apparently. :) lynxthoughts.com/2026/03/16/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: A Sifu story tonight, example the hundredth of his teaching being not only about our kung fu / tai chi training. :) lynxthoughts.com/2026/03/10/p...

#Architecture Moment: Adaptive Reuse? Library? Maker space? Community oriented? Sweet juxtaposition of the old and new with delightful surprises? All yes... no way I can't like this. :) lynxthoughts.com/2026/03/09/a...

Very cool piece of art, a huge mural-type deal all made out of wood in the entrance of a new government building in Oslo! lynxthoughts.com/2026/03/04/w...

#Mindfulness Moment: Continuing on from last week's moment, diving into the flipside misinterpretation where being mindful of attachment morphs into the notion that it means we should be numb and detached. (Spoiler alert: that's not so :) lynxthoughts.com/2026/03/03/p...

#Architecture Moment: Adaptive reuse of + addition to an old abbey to create an art gallery with a form that doesn't mimic but very much plays off of the existing muscular brick form. Good stuff. :) lynxthoughts.com/2026/03/02/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: While it's always out there in the backgrounds, somehow I heard this a number of times this year alone (including onstage at a convention!). So, let's explore. What's really the thing about Buddhism and suffering? :) lynxthoughts.com/2026/02/24/p...

#Architecture Monday: There's just a lot of elements in this house that I really like: courtyards; light, texture, and shadowplay; big and intimate spaces; and a green roof. But it all starts with the big blocks. :) lynxthoughts.com/2026/02/23/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: Riffing further on last week's post, let's talk about wolves! Because boy do they have quite the hold in our contemporary myth (and who they truly are is even cooler): lynxthoughts.com/2026/02/17/p...

#Architecture Moment: A pause. A moment. A sip. A lovely space. A little tea lounge to drift off into for us all tonight. :) lynxthoughts.com/2026/02/16/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: Musing about crabs, pots, reality TV/game shows, and the truths they certainly do _not_ reveal. Bonus: A link to a lovely moment from the Olympics. :) lynxthoughts.com/2026/02/10/p...

#Architecture Moment: Columns reaching towards portals of light. lynxthoughts.com/2026/02/09/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: I've long carried this quote with me, and it came up again in a post I wrote on a tabletop games forum: lynxthoughts.com/2026/02/03/p... (It was relevant to the thread at hand, I assure you! :)

#Architecture Moment: This is a crafty one! In that it is a school for crafts work. Landscape oriented, a cool mix of precise design and rugged old brick, lots of great light and space, has both work spaces and dorms, and is all wrapped around a courtyard. Love it. lynxthoughts.com/2026/02/02/a...

Something fun & a super blast from the past (early 90’s), a .mod file that mixes both smooth & poppy synth w/ old school telephony (rings/modems/operators). I’ve loved this track since I first heard it. :) Online player: med.planet-d.net/demo/web/mod... Or download: modarchive.org/index.php?re...

#Mindfulness Moment: We only get one chance to sell our integrity. Maybe a few, if we’re sneaky about it. But unless we work to repair it, once we’ve sold it, it’s known that it’s been sold. And then no one will freely or fully give us anything, be it their time, respect, help, or attention.

#Architecture Moment: Old infrastructure that was designed to be at least a little boon to the urban environment (rather than just an eyesore) + architecture tucked under said infrastructure + revitalized to still be a beauty today? Heck yeah! :) lynxthoughts.com/2026/01/26/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: Butt time! Oh, wait... apparently it's only 'but' time. Still, a good distinction between it and 'and' that seems so minor that it couldn't possibly be consequential yet is quite powerful indeed. :) lynxthoughts.com/2026/01/20/p...

#Architecture Moment: I love when something so "mundanely" built with "mundane" materials reveals something fun. :) lynxthoughts.com/2026/01/19/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: “Sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself.” - Granny Weatherwax

#Architecture Moment: Another cool kindergarten. :) lynxthoughts.com/2026/01/12/a...

#Mindfulness: You are whole and complete You always have been And you always will be You may not experience it And you may sometimes take actions that don’t reflect it But it doesn’t change that fact There are just barriers to your experiencing it Welcome to the New Year Whole and Complete

#Architecture Moment: Not quite hanging by a thread, but more so supported by a needle? Also turns out that's not quite it, but it's one beautiful bridge gallery with an ancient building technique holding it all up. :) lynxthoughts.com/2026/01/05/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: I've spoken a bunch about the power of apology, and I love how this speaks to how much we could as a society value them more. I doubly love how this also looks at its intersection with the legal system and with those who profit from it: lynxthoughts.com/2025/12/16/p...

#Architecture Moment: Sometimes wonky angles feels like wonky angles. Sometimes, combined with a courtyard atrium, a city block, and much walkways and stairs, it feels just fine (and neat!) :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/12/15/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: I do love analogies. It's true. So here's one about creating possibilities and the work it sometimes takes to fully live into them. :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/12/09/p...

#Architecture Moment: Classic Art Nouveau Greenhouse + Modernism Influences = cool new botanical garden :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/12/08/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: often, the difference between a student and the master is that the master has failed (and worked to learn from it) more often than the student has yet tried

#Architecture Moment:

#Mindfulness Moment: I love to talk about practicing things. But haven't talked much about practice itself. So let's do that! With a side order of "eating bitter." ;) lynxthoughts.com/2025/11/25/p...

#Architecture Moment: I am a sucker for "box in a box" type projects, especially adaptive reuse ones. :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/11/24/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: About the double joy and double power that comes from creating and harnessing ways of being in our lives. :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/11/18/p...

#Architecture moment: A little relaxation tonight? How about a lovely floating sauna, in among the Nordic pines, of course. :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/11/17/a...

It’s been 20+ years since I last released some alternate #BattleTech rules… not sure how this one will be received, but let’s go for it! drive.google.com/file/d/188ke...

#Mindfulness Moment: More about how great (and how much progress) it is to notice when something is "off" or "not right" by looking at the frying pan that (often) smacks us when we create new possibilities and aim to embody new ways of being. :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/11/11/p...

#Architecture moment: Another great community school, built with cool design even where $$ is not flowing. Everyone is worthy of good architecture. :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/11/10/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: While we often view biases as only influencing us to do harmful/hurtful things, there's also positive biases that influence us to do helpful/nice things towards certain groups. Yet they're still biases & when hidden can still lead us astray. :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/11/04/p...
