Chopped salad. I love early summer BBQ’s with great friends.
I am totally on TEAM TWO SPACE.
Today a post about how many spaces are meant to be put after a full stop went around the internets. Apparently, the rule is that only one space is needed. This goes against everything I was taught. Boo hiss!
Am I the only one who is now totally paranoid about how many spaces I put after my full stop (or I think maybe Americans say ‘period’)?
I’m still going to go with two spaces and call my writing vintage :-)
I love this.
Another old shot I took in NYC - from my friends window on 18th and 8th.
This is me in my bed with little Oliver the year that I left NYC. Taken by a friend. I love this picture. It tells so many stories (the main one being I am super messy)
Nothing thrills me more than an 80 page presentation that only has pictures! Seriously.

This is a great article written by my friend Damon Hurst. It appears today in The Australian in the media section. Well worth a read.

“THE book is dead,” said Peter Kindersley, founder and chairman of Dorling Kindersley (DK). He was launching the world’s first interactive CD ROM in London in 1992 at a lunch for city types as the company prepared for an initial public offering.
At the time, DK was a “new media” company with an “old media” core business — illustrated reference books. To be sure, Kindersley’s bold and self-interested prediction has plenty of relevance to today’s debate about the newspaper industry and the role of the internet — history might not predict the future but, hell, there sure are echoes.

Yes, I’m afraid it’s true. Here are some I just found:
The Titanic was the first ship to use the SOS signal.
The pupil of the eye expands as much as 45 percent when a person looks at something pleasing.
The roar that we hear when we place a seashell next to our ear is not the ocean, but rather the sound of blood surging through the veins in the ear.
Dalmatians are born without spots.
Bats always turn left when exiting a cave.
The owl is the only bird to drop its upper eyelid to wink. All other birds raise their lower eyelids.
When you blush, the lining of your stomach also turns red.
When hippos are upset, their sweat turns red.
It cost 7 million dollars to build the Titanic and 200 million to make a film about it.
It takes about 20 seconds for a red blood cell to circle the whole body.
The only part of the body that has no blood supply is the cornea in the eye. It takes in oxygen directly from the air.
The only 2 animals that can see behind itself without turning its head are the rabbit and the parrot.
Women blink nearly twice as much as men.
Whip makes a cracking sound because its tip moves faster than the speed of sound.
If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural cause.

I think it’s time I cleaned up the front yard after a long winter and have a summer dinner party.
