Saturday Review is another touch on the Fusion Can Save Us (from ourselves?) story; this time, it's tempered and relevant.  This a great article on a different kind of movement – speaking on behalf of the desk jockeys who went from 2 hours at the gym to 9 hours sitting at a desk and typing on a keyboard (usually at the wrong height), the right kind of movement breaks, will give you a better life.  My dream podcasting workspace and a bookmark meme we agree with.  A sneak peek at a new webpage summarizing the extension is also below.

Hopefully, Doc Brown may come to the rescue before too many of us move to Mars.  The promise of Fusion energy is excellent, but the time it takes to get there will be debated.  This article in The Guardian makes a perfect point; one of the downsides to the promises of Fusion to solve climate change is our dependence on a commitment that can only estimate its timeline later.  In other words, the math doesn't look good if we wait until fusion tech saves us and fusion tech is delayed.

It makes sense to pursue fusion tech and any other innovative ideas we can create, along with conservation and plenty of other things we can do to prolong the planet and our time on it.

Saturday is The Guardian Day; the newsletter comes out later after a good couple of hours of going through lifestyle stories from The Guardian.  Today's simple fitness tips involve standing, stretching, and movement to counteract lack of motion.  The exercises and activities resonated with me as someone who consistently does the Pigeon Pose to help his back and knees.  Some of these movements remind you of being in grade school, others of warming up to play a sport, and some from your last yoga class.  All of them should be reviewed as you age, and stop sitting crisscross, stretching before a gym class, or doing anything physical. 

Sitting is the new smoking, as the saying goes.  As the article suggests, you can take the old smoking breaks from back in the day and turn them into "fidgeting breaks" – get up, walk, stretch, or stand on one leg.  All the advice here is advice you have heard before – you need to move more.

Nik Goke from four-minute Books gave us several updates in his Saturday email.  One of those tips was for a new Chrome Extension called Shortform.  Interestingly, the website and plugin are all about summarizing books, and the extension uses A.I. to translate whatever article you read.  Attractive because book summaries are what Goke does with four-minute books; hard to say if Shortform is a direct competitor to Goke or not.  Also, note that summarizing articles is what we do.  We played around with it, and it's impressive, looks like it would be good for really long and possibly more academic writing, but I'm sure it will be the first piece we write on it.

In a dream space, entrepreneur Brandon C. White has a fantastic setup in what looks like a beach-adjacent house in C.A.  Podcasting is coming to W.A.S.  We have the equipment but have yet to retrofit the room(s) the recordings will take place.  We plan to put White's space into our dream book for down the road.  The layout is on Workspaces and worth the view.
