Any comment I'd add to this post by @hotdogsladies would be trite

But, I’m more convinced than ever that the path to feeling whole and happy means bucking up, dropping the “poor me” act, and stopping everything you need to until you figure out the next thing you can do that would make you feel alive and useful — driven by something other than the need to rationalize why you aren’t where you want to be.

Doesn’t have to be a cool computer program or a rocket to the moon. But, it’s worth remembering that we all have at least a little potential to do something bigger and more useful than pissing ourselves about what we don’t have or what we can’t do.

 

I'm going to make this my desktop wallpaper so I see it everyday and remind myself that doing great work matters.

Lomography: Diana World Tour

After a Central Park photowalk on Saturday morning with @cc_chapman, I headed downtown to the Lomography NYC store.

I love this store. The staff is always amazing and helpful - and you can tell they are just as passionate about the products as the customers. They spent some time helping me pick out some B&W film (Silver Tone for those playing along) and checking out the difference between the Lubitel and the Seagull (I'll be owning a Lubitel soon!).

While I was there, I checked out the Diana World Tour - which is an incredible collection of original Diana cameras. It takes up a wall and is really impressive. Not only was it an exercise in time travel, but also global travel, with many different countries represented.

My @AdagioTeas delivery came in these great canisters

I love that my @AdagioTeas order came in these great canisters AND that they remind you of their online properties (seen here: TeaChat and TeaMap).

Next time I'm totally using "Rock, Paper, Scissors"...l -(via Freakonomics Blog|NYTimes.com)

Not So Random After All

The random coin toss must be one of society’s most frequently used decision-making mechanisms. We use the coin toss to choose which movie to see, to determine team positions in major sporting events, to divvy up household chores, and even name cities. But it may be that the the random coin toss isn’t so random. A 2007 study found that a vigorously flipped coin is likely to land on the same side it started on at least 51 percent of the time, possibly more depending on the person doing the flipping. (HT: Chris Blattman)

I like to flip the coin as close to my hand as possible - I wonder how that changes the odds (if at all?). I know people who like to throw the coin in the air and let it land on the ground - no finesse or sense-of-the-occasion.

All personal style, I guess.
