When You Teach Sand to Talk

Imagine holding a handful of sand. It’s quiet, insignificant, just countless grains slipping between your fingers. But what if you could teach it to talk? What if, somehow, you could transform these tiny, speechless grains into a network of intelligent communication? It’s not science fiction — it’s the story of how technology reshapes the simplest elements of nature into something extraordinary. Silicon, a key element found in sand, is where this story begins. By refining and processing silicon, we’ve learned to create microchips — the foundation of almost every piece of technology we interact with today. From your smartphone to the computer you’re reading this on, it's all possible because we've taught sand, in a sense, to talk. This transformation is a marvel of human ingenuity. Silicon microchips hold billions of transistors — tiny electronic switches that communicate in a language of zeros and ones, creating everything from casual conversations to the solutions for complex scientific problems. Teaching sand to talk was about listening closely to the whispers of electrons, learning to guide them down unimaginably small paths, until they formed coherent ideas that connect us across the world. In a way, it’s also a lesson about seeing potential in what seems ordinary. The sandy beaches we walk on are the humble starting point of a revolution that brought artificial intelligence, the internet, and modern medicine into our lives. It's a testament to the power of curiosity, the audacity to ask: "What if this mundane thing could do something incredible?" Teaching sand to talk is not just a technological leap; it’s a human one. It’s a reflection of our desire to communicate better, to bridge gaps, and to create meaning even from the most unassuming elements around us. From simple grains underfoot to the wonders of modern technology, it’s a story of turning dreams into reality, of making the impossible speak.

The morning habit

I've been working now, long time to be in better balance, so that when I get out i'll be super healthy.. My solution now, after reading Audun Myskja's book [link here] a 2 years ago is that yoga, and especially the 5 rites is the way forward for maintaining the best health for the longest. I just doubled down on it which means I doubled up. I am 'young' and there fore I decided to do it twice every morning. I do it 2 days in a row and pause one day, where I am instead 'just' doing some nice yoga stretches.
