Good taste and tech don't always go together, which makes Will Bowers an exception. His tech reviews are refreshingly clean, keen and useful. So it was a compliment when we learned he uses mymind. We asked Bowers to share what he's been thinking on lately.
品味与技术并不总是相辅相成的,但威尔-鲍尔斯(Will Bowers)是个例外。他的技术评论令人耳目一新,简洁、敏锐、实用。因此,当我们得知他在使用 mymind 时,这无疑是一种赞美。我们请 Bowers 分享一下他最近的想法。

What’s the best compliment you received recently?
你最近收到的最好的赞美是什么?

Not long ago, somebody who I consider to be a bit of a “digital mentor” told me they took inspiration from some of my recent work.
不久前,一个被我视为 "数字导师 "的人告诉我,他们从我最近的一些作品中获得了灵感。

This was a person who I learned a LOT from over the past few years, so getting that type of recognition from them was a lovely feeling that has stuck with me for months.
在过去的几年里,我从他身上学到了很多东西,所以得到他的认可是一种很好的感觉,这种感觉让我回味了好几个月。

What’s the last thing you read?
你读的最后一篇文章是什么?

“The Creative Act” by Rick Rubin. Not only does this book look great on a coffee table or shelf, I believe the contents of it are essential for anyone who wants to be more in touch with their creativity. 
"里克-鲁宾(Rick Rubin)著的《创意行为》。这本书不仅摆在茶几或书架上很好看,而且我认为其中的内容对于任何想更多地接触自己的创造力的人来说都是必不可少的。

It's currently my go-to recommendation for any of my friends who suffer from writer's block, and I find myself re-reading sections of the book whenever I need a bit of a reset.
目前,这本书是我推荐给那些有写作障碍的朋友的首选书目,每当我需要重拾灵感时,我都会重读这本书的某些章节。

What do you want to read next?
你下一步想读什么?

A book that was recently recommended to me called “The Infinite Game” by Simon Sinek. I do a lot of business/non-fiction reading so when I heard this is similar to some of the stuff I enjoyed in the past, I had to pick it up.
最近有人向我推荐一本书,名叫《无限游戏》,作者是西蒙-辛克。我经常阅读商业类/非小说类书籍,所以当我听说这本书与我过去喜欢的一些作品很相似时,我不得不选了这本书。

Beyond that, one of my favorite relaxation books I find myself revisiting often is “The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living” by Meik Wiking. This one is great to flip through before bedtime, and was a big part in my desire to create “cozy” living spaces in my home.
除此之外,我最喜欢的放松书籍之一是 Meik Wiking 的《The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living》,我发现自己经常重温这本书。这本书非常适合在睡前翻阅,也是我想要在家中创造 "舒适 "生活空间的重要原因。

I personally think a healthy dose of delusion is necessary when chasing one's dreams, so this quote has always been a reminder to push myself forward while ignoring the self doubt that only serves to hold me back. 
我个人认为,在追逐梦想的过程中,健康的妄想是必要的,因此这句话一直提醒着我,要不断推动自己前进,同时忽略那些只会阻碍我前进的自我怀疑。

Best gift you’ve ever given?
你送过的最好的礼物?

My favorite gift to give to anyone tends to be exposure to new foods and experiences. I take deep pride in being able to introduce people to new things they have never tried, and I'm always looking for personalized ways to do this for my family and friends. A delicious meal or a well thought out day trip will go a long way in my books.
我最喜欢送给别人的礼物往往是接触新食物和新体验。能够向人们介绍他们从未尝试过的新事物让我深感自豪,我一直在寻找个性化的方式来为我的家人和朋友做到这一点。在我看来,一顿美味佳肴或一次精心安排的一日游都会让我受益匪浅。

Where do you want to travel to next?
下一站您想去哪里?

I seem to have been bitten by the New York City bug in a big way as I am planning my second visit in as many years this Fall. I’m quite a big fan of the non-stop beautiful chaos that exists in the city, and after being raised in a small town in Arizona I love surrounding myself in that environment. 
我似乎被纽约的魅力深深地吸引住了,因为我计划在今年秋天第二次造访纽约。我非常喜欢这座城市无休止的美丽混乱,在亚利桑那州的一个小镇长大后,我喜欢把自己包围在这样的环境中。

Australia, Spain and Japan are also high on my list of destinations I hope to visit in the not so distant future.
澳大利亚、西班牙和日本也是我希望在不远的将来访问的目的地之一。

What would you buy, if money weren’t an issue?
如果钱不是问题,你会买什么?

I would buy a plot of land somewhere in the Vancouver area with a view of nature and enough space for all of my family and friends to visit comfortably whenever they wanted. I’d love to build myself a studio space in the home that allows me to make videos with zero friction, and an art studio for my wife.
我想在温哥华地区的某个地方买一块地,那里有大自然的美景,有足够的空间让我的家人和朋友随时都能舒适地来访。我想在家里为自己建一个工作室,让我可以零摩擦地制作视频,还想为妻子建一个艺术工作室。

Big picture, however, I’m realizing as I get older that I’m less motivated by physical possessions. I want to use my resources to benefit causes to preserve the planet or provide relief to marginalized communities. 
不过,从大的方面来说,随着年龄的增长,我意识到我已经不再为物质财富所驱使。我想利用我的资源来保护地球或为边缘化群体提供救济。

What hobby would you take up, if you had the time?
如果有时间,您会从事什么业余爱好?

I recently discovered that I am very inspired by interior design! I’ve started carving out dedicated time to learn more about this and the deeper I go, the more I realize I enjoy design as a whole. 
最近,我发现自己深受室内设计的启发!我开始抽出专门的时间来了解这方面的知识,越深入了解,我就越发现自己喜欢整体设计。

I also have a background in the streaming/gaming space that I wish I could spend more time doing, since it was such a big part of my life when I was figuring out this whole content creation thing. Maybe it's time to revisit some of that soon.
我也有流媒体/游戏领域的背景,我希望能花更多时间来做这些事情,因为在我摸索整个内容创作的过程中,流媒体/游戏是我生活的重要组成部分。也许是时候重温一下了。

What’s an image or piece of art you can’t get out of your head?
你脑海中挥之不去的形象或艺术作品是什么?

This shot of Charles Leclerc after finally securing his first Monaco F1 win in front of his home crowd. His big win came after years of bad luck and having it slip through his fingers countless times. The headfirst dive into the marina while still in full race clothing shows the pure elation of the moment.
查尔斯-勒克莱尔(Charles Leclerc)终于在家乡观众面前赢得了他在 F1 摩纳哥站的首场胜利。在经历了多年的厄运和无数次从指缝中溜走之后,他终于赢得了这场重大胜利。他身着整套比赛服,一头扎进码头,展现了这一激动人心的时刻。

A product of any kind you’ve been appreciating lately?

Lately I’ve been testing out using an iPad as a replacement for my laptop when I travel. The Apple Pencil specifically has made me feel MUCH more creatively inspired when using this compared to a standard laptop.

If you could build an extension of your own mind, what would it look like? How would it work?
如果你能在自己的头脑中建造一个扩展空间,它会是什么样子?它将如何工作?

I imagine it would be similar to the waves in the ocean. My mind is constantly cycling between periods of calm and intense periods of productivity and motion, similar to the changing tides of the sea. My focus is far from linear, but the common thread is that I know the next big “wave” is often right around the corner. ⚘
我想象这与大海中的波浪相似。我的思维不断在平静期和生产力与运动的激烈期之间循环,就像大海的潮汐变化一样。我的注意力远非直线型,但共同点是,我知道下一个大 "浪 "往往就在转角处。⚘
