I bought a new notebook today. And I discovered that my camera’s USB cable is here in the apartment. So, let’s move forward, eh?
Note: by notebook I mean paper; not a laptop computer.
Note2: I visited the Checkpoint Charlie Museum today because of my sister Clyde’s recommendation. It was very cool.
Here’s some random shots from London.. before my next dump from the camera..
I know about recessions. I’ve thought about it, and I will explain it in a post. But I also know about ideas that create action. When someone gets an idea that is strong and that they believe must be realized, action is not interrupted by recessions.
On the top floor of the London Design Museum, finalists/nominees for the Brit Insurance Design Awards 2009 are featured. The first floor features select works from an amazing fashion designer/artist – Hussein Chalayan. His work will be featured in a separate post.

A pizza shop in Kennsignton.
One of the best record shops I’ve ever listened to!
This woman seemed so happy to be put in charge of these kids. May all you parents find baby sitters so agreeable. Or, spend more time with your kids.
I still have jet lag. But today I trudged around and through Hyde Park. I came upon this statue to Physical Energy. And I will reflect up it, in hopes that it gives me some energy… I’m pooped, but I know I’ll rebound. Check out the dog! Lookit the kid! Seeing children and women smile makes my day.
London’s traffic lights give more information than ours (in the U.S.).
You know how your friend thinks she’s so clever with her method for detecting when the red light will turn green–by looking to the perpendicular light for a yellow? And how that friend’s conclusion that a yellow to her 45 degrees means a green’s coming straight up is often wrong and sometimes troublesome: at worst, causing a pile-up; at best, prompting her to exclaim (post-disappointment) “who in God’s name is getting the Green? All of us are at Red! For heaven’s sake… oh, those a* holes are getting a left turn.. like they need it! Who invited them? Oh… snap!”
Well, England has a better way. I call it: “Yellows in Between.” Instead of only signaling the end of a green, the yellow light also is used to signal the end of a red–a pre-Green!
Splendid idea. Let’s get it state-side. Does Obama have a Transportation Secretary? If there’s at least a nominee, let’s get his back-taxes paid, and push for Congress to confirm him (or her). We need someone at the top to push this idea through.
