This is an eSATA dual hdd docking station.

Purchased so my Raspberry Pi and then CubieTruck could have good storage.

Has both a USB and an EIDE connector. I bought it for the latter.

Using two hard drives simultaneously requires a USB port which has “port duplication”, a feature which, sadly, my motherboard didn’t have.

(on Wikipedia)

The shakuhachi (pronounced ɕakɯhatɕi – like “shhah’koo’hah’chee”) is a Japanese end-blown flute.

It is most famous for its use by the monks of the Fuke school of Zen Buddhism in the practice of Suizen (blowing meditation) and technically also walking meditation.

Philosophy in the Flesh - (1999 book), by Lakoff, Johnson image

Entertainment > Reading >

https://www.alibris.com/Philosophy-in-the-Flesh-George-Lakoff/book/10659440

To read

This book is mind blowing. I think the best description I can give of what it’s topic and goals are is to present the first chapter, in full. From here I think anyone interested in the subject will understand fully where this book is going and the intentions of the authors.

Properly titled Philosophy in the Flesh: The Embodied Mind and its Challenge to Western Thought
By George Lakoff and Mark Johnson.
ISBN-10 0-465-05674-1
TODO – The various Wikipedia topics would need references to cognitive philosophy as a contraindication to the various topics, and in those topics to specifically cite passages in the introduction in this book.
TODO – Finish the linking.
