The Excessive Air Filtration Episode: Why Am I Like This, Air Filtration, The Old and the Plastic, Environments, Buying an Air Filter, Going Hardcore, Features and Facts, Health and Home, 50 Degrees, A Soon Forgotten Appliance.About the excessive air filter I got for the office. This is not an endorsement or a paid promotion - it's just a ridiculous thing to have gotten and having to turn it down from "Storm King" setting to "Off" to be able to record an episode reminded me this little bit of intensity was in the area.

Join us to get a unique and behind-the-scenes look at the debate space through the eyes of the host of Raging Tomato, Sara "Tomato", who puts herself neatly in the eye of the raging storm.In this powerful interview we'll go deep into the gaping need for debate, especially in truth and freedom spaces, and why division wins if things can't be discussed and debated in a productive way.We'll talk about what it's like to be the referee of heated exchanges with multiple participants, how she copes in her role, what keeps her going and what she thinks the ultimate purpose of her work is leading towards.About Sara:There will be chaos.There will be crazy.Buckle up.In the Summer of 2024, Sara hosted her first live debate... kinda by accident. Shortly after, the Moderator Monday series kicked off with full momentum along with Throw Down Thursday. Since then, The Raging Tomato became an official debate platform with the most contentious topics featuring 1v1s, 2v2s, and 1v8s. Additionally, the after-hours Open Panels on The Gauntlet continues to grow in popularity as several panelists wait their turn in line backstage to enter the battleground.Our network continues to grow strong with over hundreds of panelists and content creators from around the world always amped up to debate.

What is the power of providing unique experiences?Today, Dan chats with the Co-Founders of Reset Hotels, Ben Uyeda and Adam Wininger, about their unique hotel venture designed for the next generation of conscious travelers. Ben and Adam share insights from their journey in hospitality, emphasizing the importance of midweek group bookings for corporate and wellness retreats, and creating meaningful, immersive experiences in the vast, open spaces of Joshua Tree. The conversation explores the concept of 'reset' in hospitality, the value of modular construction in remote areas, and future visions including art installations, unique retreats, and potentially an interplanetary hotel. Join the conversation as they discuss how thoughtful design and unique experiences can transform simple stays into unforgettable journeys.Takeaways:Excellence in hospitality (and any field) comes from attention to detail and continuous improvement—strive to perfect the small things, not just the big vision.Make sure you're intentional about the guest experience. Always consider how you want people to feel during and after their experience with you, whether in hospitality, business, or daily life.Prioritize midweek group and retreat bookings. They are a key driver of business success.Be willing to evolve your ideas and operations as you learn from real-world experience. The best concepts often emerge from adapting to changing circumstances.Move beyond generic spaces—offer unique, authentic moments (like outdoor activities, art installations, or surprise elements) that guests will remember and share.Design experiences that encourage genuine interaction, such as group hikes, yoga at sunset, or shared reading materials.Make it easy to deliver “magical” experiences by building thoughtful, repeatable systems (e.g., providing thank you cards and mailing them for guests).Quote of the Show: ”I've always thought of hospitality as the craft of the welcome.” - Ben Uyeda“ We fully intend to do all that. Just creating little moments of surprise for people out in the desert.” - Adam WiningerLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-uyeda-6927215/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-w1818654323333/ Website: https://www.stayreset.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reset.hotel/ Shout Outs:1:16 - Entrepreneurs Organization https://eonetwork.org/ 2:48 - HD Vegas https://hdexpo.hospitalitydesign.com/ 8:24 - U2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U2 8:28 - Meadowlands Arena https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meadowlands_Arena 9:32 - Hype Beast https://hypebeast.com/ 19:09 - Burning Man https://burningman.org/ 24:29 - W Hotels https://w-hotels.marriott.com/ 24:35 - SoulCycle https://www.soul-cycle.com/ 28:06 - Rick Rubin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Rubin 29:30 - Jesse Itzler https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Itzler 32:21 - Will Guidara https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Guidara 33:24 - NoMad Library https://nomadlasvegas.mgmresorts.com/en/restaurants/nomad-library.html 35:27 - Eleven Madison Park https://www.elevenmadisonpark.com/ 38:22 - Storm King https://welcome.stormking.org/ 43:23 - Goose https://www.goosetheband.com/ 46:00 - Mass MoCA https://massmoca.org/ 46:26 - Pappy and Harriet's https://pappyandharriets.com/ 48:12 - Post Ranch Inn https://postranchinn.com/ 48:21 - Chateau Marmont https://www.chateaumarmont.com/ 55:29 - YPO https://www.ypo.org/
DescriptionIn this conversation, Design:ED interviews Beka Sturges and Eric Kramer of Reed Hilderbrand about the evolving role of landscape architecture in contemporary design. They discuss the historical hierarchy between architecture and landscape architecture, emphasizing how current environmental and social challenges demand a more integrated, site-responsive, and collaborative design approach. Drawing on projects like Storm King and Powder Mountain, they highlight the importance of understanding place, scale, and ecological systems, and how landscape can enrich human experience and civic engagement. The conversation also explores the unpredictable, living nature of landscapes, the urgency of addressing climate change, and the potential of landscape architecture to foster inclusive, meaningful public spaces that reflect shared cultural values.Learning Objectives:Examine the evolving relationship between landscape architecture and traditional architectural practices in response to environmental and social challenges.Evaluate how landscape architecture contributes to site identity, user experience, and cultural narratives across various scales.Apply principles of ecological and civic resilience in the planning and design of contemporary landscape projects.Explore strategies for integrating art, community engagement, and environmental stewardship within large-scale landscape interventions.

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green speaks with Nora Lawrence, Executive Director of Storm King Art Center. With the museum set to reopen in May following a transformative $53 million capital project, Nora shares what visitors can expect and how these changes will impact the experience of seeing art across Storm King's 500-acre landscape. They discuss the balance between honoring the institution's iconic permanent collection and supporting new voices in sculpture, the challenges and rewards of running an entirely outdoor museum, and current trends in large-scale outdoor sculpture. Nora also offers insights for collectors who may be considering outdoor works for their own collections and what might give them the confidence to take that step.

It's apropos that our first-ever players review of a campaign was for DM Tony's Storm King's Thunder campaign, as our newest iteration has us returning to the frozen world of the original giants in Mana Project Studios Journey to Ragnarok! We bring on return guests Scott (the Terrain Wrangler), Bonnie (the Chaos Engine) and our newest player to join the group, Jen (the Girlfriend!)In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave sit down with the other three players to review a campaign that had several adjustments made over the course of it – refining it from a completely open-world sandbox-style campaign to a Monster-of-the-Week style. DMs always have to be adjusting dials, so listen in as we discuss how DM Tony had to adjust for vastly different play types to still create a fun and engaging campaign. DM Chris stated it best: “TTRPGs aren't reliant on lore, backstory, and epic narratives… sometimes its just about getting together and having fun as a group.”2:25 Player and character introductions.7:20 Setting the characters in the world: Origins and Viking Clans!18:35 How much backstory is enough or is it even required? 19:45 The real time adjustment to how you run the game with various types of gamers.27:30 Refining a multitude of adventures, political brinksmanship, and storylines down to a Monster-of-the-Week tour of the Nine Realms.29:20 How new and inexperienced players can help us evolve our DM style.36:00 The players experience between two completely separate campaigns: completely open world and Monster-of-the-Week within the same campaign.41:40 Forest for the trees: Seeing a character's story arc in the macro.44:47 Final Thoughts.
