  • iPhone, the morning after

    My Treo stopped syncing in January and I immediately started missing all my meetings. I need the device to ring every few seconds to remind me to blink and breathe, so life without a properly synced agenda was awful — just ask my colleagues. Guppy brain. A Palm user for the past eight years, I…

  • My Living Room, Another Color Tool

    Stoyan sent me a link to Color Lovers, a site for choosing color pallets. I had fun playing with it, putting together the colors in my living room. Beware, if you like color, you could spend hours on this site.

  • Surrendering to facebook leads to groundbreaking discovery: Noad

    I’ve finally given in and tried it; it feels kind of dirty in a public sort of way. I haven’t started writing about every detail of my private life yet (did anyone else have Cheerios this morning?) and I’ve not yet purchased any ringtones but I feel certain that I’m on the path to internet…

  • A Painting A Day

    Duane Keiser is doing one painting each day. They are tiny and look really nicely done. I especially liked the orchid series and the honey.

  • Madhat Kakei

    Julien and I went to the Swedish cultural center where we had a brunch of soup and split a sandwich. My orange saffron cake was delicious and the surprise of meeting le vieux et Yolene (sp?) was very pleasant. Hugo was incapacitated at home with a terrible flu that he would pass to me just…

  • Oscar Wilde Quote

    Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. — Oscar Wilde

  • Henri Cartier-Bresson

    Looking at those two photos, of my self portrait, together, I wonder if that one was really the one I made the dots with. I managed somehow to digitally break the original, so I’ll never know. I tried a couple more, of Henri Cartier-Bresson drawn from an article in Newsweek. They had Helmut Newton photograph…
