Ever wondered why pirates wear eye-patches?
Human vision, which in many ways our most dominant sense, is really pretty amazing. Your eyes and visual system are continually adjusting and integrating so many different things to give us a coherent idea of the world that we’re in. Occasionally we’ll notice a […]
I woke up this morning half remembering a dream, slowly coming out into a world not quiet familiar. The hotel is on the forth floor in the back which is much quieter than my own room in New York. The absence of familiar sounds didn’t jar me as much as it failed to […]
We’re in our new apartment and mostly moved in. It’s right about here, just down the way from “Pirimide.” Which is, inexplicably, a pyramid next to the square. (More as that story develops.) I’ve been in Italy for about 10 days, staying with my parents at their house in Umbria until […]
As far as I can tell investment bankers are in the business of fleecing the middle class. They make money… for themselves. They aren’t in it for you or me. Wall St bonuses hit a record $21.5 billion – that’s billion with a B – and I don’t think that it’s because […]

10 percent of all the people who were ever alive are alive right now.

Floor. Laundry. Ran out of socks the other day, and that really PISSES ME OFF. Not the weather for sandals anyway, so I tossed the whole mess into a duffle bag, threw in into the trunk and headed down the “pump the quarters into the machine and read” laundry mat. I had just come back […]
