The STEMPunX Podcast

SPX7 Calendars around the globe.


Listen Later

Joe talks with his longtime friend, maker of metal art, studier of calendars, and awakened soul, Eric Lindsey. The old friends chat about the origins of calendars and whether keeping a tight schedule is a positive thing.  Joe and STEMBoT discuss the many forms of calendars currently in use today, and the origins of the names of the months and the days of the week.
 
We live in a world of hustle and bustle.  While understanding calendars is good historical science, the behavioral science piece is to evaluate the use of the calendar as a tool.  If we're not careful the tool can become our master.

Happy New Year from all of us in STEMPunX studios.
