Okay, so more moving talk. I was planning to not have a television or projector setup in the new apartment, partly because background streaming is a mind killer, but also because I just want to get back into the habit of reading. (And also, also: one less gizmo to distract).

But.

But.

I have a Commodore 1084 CRT in the basement … 😳

@nicole I have been trying to get back into reading too. I used to read a few books a week but I killed my attention span somewhere along the way. Now I would be happy with reading a few a month and listening to a few more.

@Ultrarunfamily with you on dwindled attention span as culprit. I don’t want to descend into hysterics, but I’m blaming 👆👆👆my phone for my not-quite-goldfish-level attention span. Not that it’s ever been _that_ great (hi, 👋adhd)

@nicole I absolutely blame my phone. I stopped playing any phone games this year, which is probably my just step one of getting my brain back. I don’t think my job being 95% in front of my computer helps either. I have amassed collection of books at work that are work related and am trying to add some reading time into my work day.

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
