#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...

#Architecture Moment: Another FLW building tonight, but in a different vein -- what I like to call "what amazing things you can do with humble concrete block". :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/11/03/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: For both our own power and peace, it can be useful to take a moment to assess what are the (actual) stakes :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/10/28/p...

#Architecture Moment: Let's go on a fascinating journey through the 100+ year history of this building that while it seems it ended up where it started (with a bit of polish and a new glass topper) but is instead one of many changes and a near complete rebuild. :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/10/27/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: Astronauts talking about philosophy? Heck yeah! :) Specifically about integrity: lynxthoughts.com/2025/09/30/p...

#Architecture Moment: This isn't a house by Tadao Ando, and it is not in Japan (it's in Puerto Vallarta) but it is very much in the same vein, including an amazing quality of light. Plus I kinda dig the (what appears to be?) charred wood front gate! :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/09/29/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: Look out, it's kung fu / tai chi storytelling time! You know where it will lead... :D lynxthoughts.com/2025/09/23/p...

#Architecture Moment: Kentuck Knob. Funny name perhaps. Sweet FLW design (with one hilarious exception!) lynxthoughts.com/2025/09/22/a...

What, yet another trip with yet more roller coaster riding? Yep! So here's another geeking-out coaster post. :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/09/17/c...

#Mindfulness Moment: An adapted passage from the moving and amazing video essay by @tomvanderlinden.bsky.social, about living, our place in it, and the courageous choice we all get to make. It's more than well worth the watch! lynxthoughts.com/2025/09/16/p...

#Architecture Moment: And also #Trains Moment, for when one is traveling, one should never miss a chance to visit the awesomeness that is grand train stations. :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/09/15/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: Musing about expanding the 80% rule from just creative/making endeavours to the broader whole of living (and our self-judgements) :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/09/09/p...

#Architecture Moment: Some shots of the REACH and how the great lawn/green roof meets the buildings and vice versa. With a bonus cool interior that reminds me of something I designed while in arch school (always a surprise that :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/09/08/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: Certainement qui est en droit de vous rendre absurde est en droit de vous rendre injuste. Une faculté de votre âme étant une fois tyrannisée, toutes les autres facultés doivent l’être également.

#Architecture Moment: So, yeah, I did indeed visit Fallingwater! I hadn't visited it since '93, when I was just a youngin in architecture school. Back then, I wondered if it could live up to the hype. Now, I wondered if it would live up to my memory. Yep. :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/08/25/a...

If your art of big cats includes lynxes... then you clearly must have great sophistication and taste. :) (photo taken at Fallingwater)

#Mindfulness Moment: As an architect, who deals with a lot of life safety things every day, I can't help but love @hankgreen.bsky.social 's vid "No One Knows When They Don't Die". :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/08/19/p...

#Architecture Moment: I recently got to visit and check out the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian. Like a landform carved by the eons, it's a lovely iteration of the "patented" Cardinal curves with very much its own identity. :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/08/18/a...

If you want to read more roller coaster excitement sharing, I've got another post for you! :D Going over the highlight coasters of all of them I rode during my recent vacation. lynxthoughts.com/2025/08/13/c...

#Mindfulness Moment: Being wrong is bad enough, but being hoodwinked can lead to shame-spiraling-deleterious behavior. We can instead grant some space by getting that often we've (or others) been conned by professionals. (And yes, this seems quite topical...) lynxthoughts.com/2025/08/12/p...

#Architecture Moment: Is it a bold or is it a risky move, posting about a brutalist building? :P lynxthoughts.com/2025/08/11/a...

If you want to read an experience sharing, geek-out, excited appreciation post about suspended roller coasters, well, I've got you covered! ;) lynxthoughts.com/2025/08/06/c...

#Mindfulness Moment: Told in semi-prose form tonight. :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/08/05/p...

#Architecture Monday: Back from a trip! Looking at buildings I visited along the way, starting with the great Art Deco mammoth that is Cincinnati Union Terminal! :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/08/04/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: (Over post length limit here so will link to the whole thing...first paragraph is gist though) If your “innovation” requires exploiting people, or harming others, or needs ‘guardrails off’ for it to succeed, then you don’t have an “innovation.” lynxthoughts.com/2025/07/15/p...

#Architecture Moment: A nice observation hut. Great wood construction. Sweet and elegant cantilevers. Oh, and a stunning view. :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/07/14/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: Taking a bad AI exec take (which one of many, you might ask?) to dive into how art is fundamental to humanity and how the long & difficult act of making art (or doing other things) is actually one of our most empowering & greatest delights: lynxthoughts.com/2025/07/08/p...

#Architecture Moment: A great bit of adaptive reuse + new addition that not only makes a project viable, but adds a whole tonne of new things to the community (including housing) while also preserving an industrial bit of its history. Real damn fine work! lynxthoughts.com/2025/07/07/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: I believe, like language, we come into this world primed for love and connection and kinship. Though, like language, maybe it's something we need to learn? (And do I end up trying to extend that language metaphor even further?) lynxthoughts.com/2025/07/01/p...

#Architecture Moment: Neat firehouse that uses reclaimed steel (from a building being demolished) for it's impressive canopy... :) lynxthoughts.com/2025/06/30/a...

#Mindfulness Moment: The great "Art Department Rules" by the even greater Corita Kent! lynxthoughts.com/2025/06/24/p... www.corita.org
