A flame in winter
They are back now in November, and are level with my eyes when I walk on the treadmill. They are all over the street, too, squished and sticky on the ground.
Flowers aflame that remind every year that December is coming, bringing the chill with it.
Jessie and him →
I dreamed I’d do something like this and went into a hiatus for five years. Now I am back doing the grind. Not that I’m not enjoying it. You gotta find your thing I guess.

Shankar Bidari
The other day I presided over a meeting at which the Police Commissioner was the chief guest. The organizers had given him a list of petitions which he held up as he spoke: “Extortion from language organizations? I have taken care of them—Bangalore is in India, and any Indian is welcome to do business here. Call me if anyone tries any such thing.”

My favorite reading on the iPhone
NetNewsWire is my feed manager—I tried Pulse, but didn’t like the garnish. Such news that interests me in the feeds I transfer to Instapaper, for reading in comfort when I find it.

Plain Text for me
The most popular text editor for the iPad seems to be Simplenote, which syncs remarkably with the Mac, and has an easy and impressive tagging system. But my favorite is Plain Text, for its elegant interface, and because its folder system works very well for me. I sync the folders with Dropbox. When you work in full-screen mode, the page in Plain Text moves gracefully to the middle, taking the...

UTC Supplier Gold
A business is set up to be quartered in the marketplace, tethered to suppliers who want higher prices; customers who want lower cost; employees who wish for higher compensation; and shareholders who want the very best returns. And many businesses do really come apart, when a pull loses patience and tears the balance. Still, there are those who manage to coalesce the forces into an organic beauty,...

Lennon, In His Own Write
Tickled by it. Paul asks not to look for too much for meaning in it. Or to be baffled by it. To just laugh, when you see the funnies there.
The book is full of laughs.
