moments of indecision

blue door in desert

There is some­thing about this photo that asked me to write about it. Yes, it’s the blue wall or door. Of course it is the blueness.

I’m imag­in­ing dri­ving across the the sub­tle hues of dry lands and being star­tled by this rich hue, this utter cool­ness in the midst of dust. It’s a pleas­ant thing after all, the blueness.

Should I stop and oblit­er­ate my imag­in­ings with real­ity? No, I’ll drive on and I let the blue remain in my mind just as it was the moment I saw it.

The more I lis­ten the more I miss him. A beau­ti­ful song and a mag­i­cal gui­tar. Jimi Hen­drix — a dis­tinc­tive sound so many years later.

What would have changed if I had never heard his music?

I was work­ing on an ad for the segd con­fer­ence + expo which will be in Mon­tréal in 2011. It made me think of this won­der­ful pub­lic art. On our visit there a few years back we dis­cov­ered the lip­stick for­est. Both Mar­garet and I wan­dered through the trees and played a bit of hide and seek. It is brilliant!

What is the dif­fer­ence between a mate­ri­al­ist, an ide­al­ist, and an exis­ten­tial­ist umpire?

A mate­ri­al­ist says: I calls them as I seems them.

An ide­al­ist says: I calls them as they are.

An exis­ten­tial­ist says: They ain’t noth­ing, ’til I calls them.


Instant replay dimin­ishes the game.

It seems as though we are seek­ing slower ways to enjoy our­selves. Most of this is illus­trated in the rit­u­als around food that have come to pass, a need to find slow food.

Just when I thought that espresso style cof­fees had com­pletely taken over the planet — I found the move­ment for pour over cof­fee. I know this bet­ter as Melitta style… or drip coffee.

This is a Japan­ese video of the process.

A sad day for Gumby and Pokey. Art Clokey, the ani­ma­tor who cre­ated the lov­able, bend­able clay cre­ation Gumby over a half-century ago, died. Many a sat­ur­day morn­ing was spent cereal bowl in hand watch­ing the green guy and his orange pony pal.

It was Eddie Murphy’s SNL Gumby sketch 40 years after the birth of Gumby that finally cre­ated some finan­cial reward to Art. The cul­tural icon is still pop­u­lar today and has even moved into the new world of social media — Gumby has over 134,000 fans on Facebook.

hulu.com cur­rently has some Gumby avail­able for viewing.

I believe this quote is true what about you?
