FYI: Apple’s profits ($13 billion) exceeded Google’s entire revenue ($10.6 billion).
I don’t know what to say.
I remember when Apple stock was 4 bucks and everyone said the end was near. I hoped not. Now the world has been turned upside down. Nice job Steve.

I don’t want to say much about this video so you can enjoy it completely. Reality will be suspended and you’ll forget that the gold fish are painted.

This wonderful new book made me think about all the written correspondence I did for many years to my dear friend in Japan. I always adorned the envelopes with special lettering and drawing. Often in the letters themselves I would add noodling in the margins. In turn I received many Aerogrammes and letters typed on the back of movie flyers and other Japanese ephemera.
I wish I had documented them but alas I’m not sure if I have photos I can put my hands on.
Maybe I need to write my friend.

I’ve embarked on a project this year.
A 365 day project. It will result in 365 drawings. They will be made on my iPhone. I’ll be posting at my artlog and you can see them there if you are interested. I’ll try to write a bit about each of the drawings but sometimes the posts will be wordless.
I stopped putting my artwork at this blog except on special occasions.

There is an unrelenting beauty to cooking. Today when we were cooking I took shots of a couple especially beautiful processes. This is the story of making cranberry relish. The color and the shapes are delicious. The relish was a perfect mix of tart, sweet, and peppery.
The photos are taken with my Iphone 4s with Instagram so I could share them.
A marvelous side dish for the left-over ham sandwich.

The simplicity of the slinky is pure delight.
I have one on my desk and play with it often when mulling a problem. I view it from one angle and then another. I listen to the sound as I rock it back and forth. I explore it’s line and displacement of space.
It quiets my thoughts. It provides space for clarity.
from Wikipedia:
The toy was invented and developed by naval engineer Richard James in the early 1940s and demonstrated at Gimbels department store inPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania in November 1945. The toy was a hit, selling its entire inventory of 400 units in ninety minutes. James and his wifeBetty formed James Industries in Philadelphia to manufacture Slinky and several related toys such as the Slinky Dog and Suzie, the Slinky Worm.
