Job opportunities for people with CouchDB skills

Time to relax!

  • “Throw out your soothing sound machine. Trash all whale sounds CDs. This is the only soundtrack you need to peacefully drift into slumber. This is the deeply relaxing sound of a pizza. A slice of pizza being poked, repeatedly, by someone’s finger.” – Listen to the soothing sounds of a pizza speaking the language of its people
  • “[The] NATO video shows the device in action at an underground testing base in Georgia. The researchers even included a dummy rigged with sensors to study the effects of a blast on the human body. The effect is not to stop, but reduce the overpressure of the incoming shock wave—roughly by half—once it makes contact with the water, according to a 2015 research paper by the scientists. (Caveat: The exact numbers depend on the amount of water released and the size of the blast.) In other words, think of it like a really intense yet calming shower for an explosion.” – This Machine Creates a Relaxing Shower for Violent Tunnel Explosions
  • “This timelapse by JeffHK was taken over the course of two weeks as the ship traveled through the Pacific and into the South China Sea. The trip resulted in some 70,000 images, but only 9,000(!) made it into this video that will look especially great if you happen to have a 4K display that can show it off in all its glory.” – Traveling the World on a Container Ship Looks Surprisingly Soothing
  • “Perhaps you’re in a conference room presenting your project summary to a group when, not even five minutes into your well-rehearsed presentation, a couple of people start fidgeting and seem to be distracted. Or perhaps you’re on a call and an unreceptive client isn’t letting you get a word in edgewise. I have been in these circumstances or similar situations many times. This is the method that has helped me get through high-stress work situations and remind me to reconnect; I call them my Dip Into Bliss tools.” – 3 Quick Tips to De-Stress In a Frustrating Situation
  • “If you’re a little bit of a thrill seeker, you may tend to look above the ground for your needs. Cave diving takes you far below the surface and shows you the quiet, eerie beauty of thousands of years worth of erosion, untouched by anyone or anything other than a few glow worms.” – Cave Diving Is Beautifully Calming – If You Don’t Have Claustrophobia
