Personal Uniforms


Few thoughts:

  1. I have considered something like a "personal uniform" from time to time.
  2. This article has some good and relevant thoughts on the subject.
  3. Although I'm not in to dresses, I like the roll-up sleeve and neck of the dress depicted.
  4. The graphic itself is also pretty neat in general.  Made me think of this post where David Malki points out Aaron Draplin's discussion of logo (and product) design inspired by old time design principals.

The Seven Strong Men



 . . . the stone pillars were once an entourage of Samoyeds giants walking through the mountains to Siberia in order to destroy the Mansi people. However, upon seeing the holy Mansi mountains, the shaman of the giants dropped his drum and the entire team froze into the stone pillars.

Locally, the Seven Strong Men have adopted a legendary status, especially considering their location just a hair below the Arctic Circle. Adding to their legend are reports of a feeling of contentedness when visiting the towers. According to some visitors, all desires seem to float away during a visit to the area and local lore claims that spirits gathered in the area during ancient times.

Mathematical!

Katherine:  I know 2+2 is 4, and 4+4 is 8, and 8+8 is 16.  But what's 16+16?

Adrienne:  32

Katherine:  But why!

Adrienne:  I don't know love.  Daddy says that numbers might be just concepts that we made up that may or may not accurately represent reality.

Katherine:  Okay. (promptly falls asleep)

Thanks Wookiefoot!

Dredged up by chance from the memory hole:

These spiritual window-shoppers,
who idly ask ‘How much is that?’ Oh, I’m just looking 
. . . 
Even if you don’t know what you want
buy something 
. . . 
Start a huge, foolish project,
like Noah
It makes absolutely no difference
what people think of you

My only regret

Seems to me you're playing hard to get.
I played a cool kid once myself,
And it's my only regret.
