New at my Patreon... I love a good library. I don't just write in them, but also give travel writing talks to the public in them. This is how that works:
🚨⏰🚨⏰🚨⏰ Today is the last day (in about ~4 hours from this post) to submit a talk to speak at the 11ty International Symposium on Making Web Sites Real Good!
#help request: I have a client that’s a large enterprise #tech company making #B2B software for marketers.
They’re looking to get speaking placements for their executives into large tech #conferences and #events. Within tech, B2B, software, or general marketing and advertising, with 10,000+ attendees.
Anybody have contacts or tips they can share? Really appreciate it.
Haven’t pitched large clients like this before so I’m nervous 😬
How speech is produced and perceived in the human cortex | Nature, by Yves Boubenec
A neural probe has been used to capture the activity of large populations of single neurons as people are #speaking or #listening, providing detailed insights into how the #brain encodes specific features of #speech.

Jednou z kapel, které se to daří je #Eluveitie , která do metalu přidává keltské hudební prvky, čímž vzniká melodický #deathmetal
Jednou z mých nejoblíbenějších skladeb je "Thousandfold". https://youtu.be/kb8WGig0MLU
Moving from #Russia to Germany represents a considerable improvement in basic quality of life. I thought I'd won. All I had to do now was sort out my alcohol addiction and I was ready to start working hard again for long enough. But once I #sobered up and looked at the world as it was, I panicked. Everything was #broken. There was nowhere to run.
As a project manager, I've seen the #power of collective #minds. But first we need to collect a lot of data from each other to #synchronise so that we can work together.
