I came across a video from Jared Henderson on an online sentiment that new books are not as good as the old ones. He touches on a few ideas on why he thinks this idea is going around. One of his points was discussing the sheer volume of books. Even if the increasing ISBN volume per year is misleading, it is still a...
I got slightly addicted to blogging about blogging. Easy on this lovely platform since we're all bloggers or writers of one kind or another. I got indigestion so I'm wondering if you got it too? Overindulging on a wave of other blogging about blogging posts. Ah! And they even got my posts trending - oh shallow...
Photo: © Stan B.Having grown up in New York, I've always admired a sense of style. It takes something to possess one, even more to own it; and says something about the person and how they move in the world. Of course, it's ultimately superficial (never judge a book by its cover) but in a world so dominated by the...
Nota bene: I discuss Adam Smithâs first âdire warningâ here. As promised (see here and here), I will now turn to the last part of Adam Smithâs 79-page pamphlet (Part #13, pp. 47-79), Additions and Corrections to the First and Second Editions of Dr. Adam Smithâs Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of...
Each Thursday in the Disquiet Junto music community, a new compositional challenge is set before the groupâs members, who then have five days to record and upload a track in response to the project instructions. Membership in the Junto is open: just join and participate. (A SoundCloud account is helpful but not...
We finally made it to Bude Sea Pool this week, 88m lengths of beautiful swimming on Summerleaze beach in Cornwall.The pool opened in 1930, dug out next to the beach's rocky cliffs. It is a tidal pool, which means the water is refreshed daily by the sea - though this also means of course that the pool can't be used...
I like to include a thank you in every commission, and to help with that I produce a range of bespoke cards. This is the third batch and they continue to give me a great deal of pride and joy when I fold them carefully to pen a few words to a customerâŠÂŁ8 from Light Railway StoresThis third collection of 6 is...
I find it highly amusing that it has taken this long for people to realise that the passport form factor is actually more usableâif only because you can reach across the entire screen with your thumbâand that a 4:3 foldable makes far more sense both ergonomically and content-wise than the tall, narrow monstrosities...
Oh boy, vintage Disneyland ephemera! My favorite. Today I am featuring a wonderful 1963 brochure printed for the "World Premier Engagement" of Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room (which debuted on June 23rd of '63). These are rare-ish, but often fetch high prices on the collector's market, often over $200. The cover...
Every year I update my table of thirty-plus temperatures, as recorded at Hampstead. Here's how we left things last year.
