“Dubai threatens to become an instant ruin, an emblematic hybrid of the worst of both the West and the Middle-East and a dangerous totem for those who would mistakenly interpret this as the de facto product of a secular driven culture.”

For those not on a PC…
Since PhotoSynth only works on a PC. Here are a couple of images of Moleskin 42 in place.
And then there were two…
If anyone is following this blog, you’ll know that I own Moleskin 42.
It hangs on my office wall and looks like this… http://www.wilkinson.fr/richard/?p=320
Now Hugh has done number two (this time acommission). Unsurprisingly, I love it! wikipedia moleskine
If you’re tempted, I can only tell you to go for it. Hugh is great to buy from and every morning it brings a smile to see it on my wall.
Sign of the times…
“Todays EPCOT reflects our times.
It is crass consumerism, pointed “brand positioning” and unabashed, meaningless “entertainment.” It is like everything else, and our society has come to value things that are like everything else. We want our movies to be the same, we want our TV to be the same, we want our cars to be the same. We value profits and economic growth over hard work and sacrifice, over imagination and progress.”

Another way to spend a Sunday afternoon…
“The first thing to know is that the mind isn’t a mirror, or even a passive observer of reality. Much of what we think of as being out there actually comes from in here, and is a byproduct of how the brain processes sensation.”
Teachers…
“For one thing, the realization that today’s best teachers can become global celebrities is going to boost the caliber of those who teach. For the first time in many years it’s possible to imagine ambitious, brilliant 18-year-olds putting ‘teacher’ at the top of their career choice list. Indeed the very definition of “great teacher” will expand, as numerous others outside the profession with the ability to communicate important ideas find a new incentive to make that talent available to the world. Additionally every existing teacher can greatly amplify their own abilities by inviting into their classroom, on video, the world’s greatest scientists, visionaries and tutors. (Can a teacher inspire over video? Absolutely. We hear jaw-dropping stories of this every day.)”
