— unpredictable thoughts

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.

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 inPhiladel­phiaPenn­syl­va­nia 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.
