Language opens doors — between cultures, beliefs, and people.
Teaching Hebrew lets me be part of those connections, and that’s something I don’t take lightly.
If you’ve ever wanted to experience Hebrew as a living, human language, you’re in the right place 💙

🎙️ Here is what in my news today! :)
A new transmission from Musing On Society and Technology
🌀 From Cassette Tapes and Phrasebooks to AI Real-Time Translations
There’s something beautifully awkward about trying to understand someone in a language that’s not your own.
I’ve been dreaming of real-time translation since I was a kid — not flying cars, not robot butlers (though I’d take one to fold laundry). Just the idea of truly understanding someone, in their language.
Now, with AI-powered translations in #Google Meet, we’re there.
It’s seamless. Flawless. Magical.
And then… it sucks.
Like, existentially, beautifully sucks.
Because while machines can now speak for us, we may be forgetting how to actually understand each other.
As a proud Gen X analog soul, I remember the rewinds, the mixtapes, the Maxell cassettes, the static. I felt language — in the waiting, the effort, the emotion.
Now? Everything’s fast. Clean. Automated. Translated. But at what cost?
This isn’t just about tech. It’s about humanity, connection, and the spaces in between. We don’t live in 0s and 1s — we live in the gray, the glitch, the hybrid.

Radio version? I meant podcast?
✌️ Stay curious and mispronounce a few words, it is ok.

In this piece, I explore the science behind music’s effect on the brain and the universal language it speaks, transcending cultural boundaries and touching the deepest parts of our souls. I reflect on the songs that have marked significant moments in my life and invite you to consider the melodies that have done the same for you.

When I backpacked in #Australia in the 1990s, I spent quite a bit of time visiting #Kakadu, and got to know the #Indigenous caretakers there. This was one of their goals... I'm so glad to see it starting to become a reality!
Masterplanning in the form of a ‘yarn’
Inside the World Heritage-listed #KakaduNationalPark, a site previously characterized by extraction is being reimagined as a tourism hub, with the #TraditionalCustodians driving the design process.
by Christine Phillips 14 Nov 2023
"In 2021, #Jabiru was formally handed back to the #Mirarr people. As the Traditional Custodians and title owners, they have been driving the future of the town through #Gundjeihmi #Aboriginal Corporation Jabiru Town. The corporation engaged a strategic design team to complete a Stage 1 Masterplan and business case for Jabiru: economic development and tourism planning specialist Stafford Strategy, architecture and urban design practice Common (previously known as NAAU), and landscape designer Enlocus. For the more detailed Stage 2 Lakeside Precinct Plan, this team was joined by GHD for specialist hydrological engineering input.
"As John Doyle, a partner at Common, explained, the central question of the project was around 'how a place that had mostly been given over to processes of extraction could be reimagined with a new economy.' The team used economic and urban modelling to determine the infrastructure required to transition Jabiru from a town built to serve the needs of the miners and their families, to a tourism-focused model designed to provide ongoing economic opportunities for the local community and Traditional Custodians.
"What is compelling about this project is not simply that it is the Traditional Custodians driving the future of the town, but that the design process appears to be occurring in the form of a 'yarn.' Typically, a business case is developed separately from an architectural masterplan – but in this project, the process was an iterative loop of knowledge, ideas and experiences shared between all facets of the design team and the client. Common partner Ben Milbourne described one back-and-forth involving Stafford Strategy’s economic modelling, Common and Enlocus’s architectural and landscape modelling and masterplanning, and the GAC’s direct feedback throughout the process. According to Doyle, this process was 'messy, but great by virtue of that.'
"I found that there was also a #cultural and economic storytelling layer to the new masterplan. Previously, Jabiru was a turnoff on the highway before you reached the mining town. As Doyle explains, 'The new masterplan recalibrates the sequence of arrival to pivot the economy away from extraction to a people-based tourism hub.' Now, as you approach the town, you experience the surrounding views toward the #KakaduEscarpment, and it is clear that there is a deeper cultural narrative waiting to be discovered.
"This storytelling sensibility is echoed in the programmatic arrangement of the masterplan and in reference designs for each of the key buildings developed in consultation with the Traditional Custodians. In the visualization, a suite of accommodation options sweeps around the lake frontage to serve tourists and to provide ongoing sustainable economic opportunities for the Traditional Custodians. The masterplan also includes other new community infrastructure, such as the #Bininj (Traditional Owner) Resource Centre and housing; this infrastructure is all designed with sequential and incremental layers of enclosure that take their visual cues from the Jabiru landscape. For example, the proposed rammed- earth walls echo the striated geology of the escarpment. Common describes the strong relationship between inside and outside: 'The [envisaged] buildings, and the programs within, are organized as a series of discrete enclosures [that] allows the landscape to flow throughout the facility, ensuring that visitors have a constant connection with the celebrated Kakadu landscape.'"
