SmugMugging
I have finally delved into SmugMug as a way to share and organize photos online. It is idiot-proof when it comes to customizing and works extremely well with Lightroom. I wish I had done this sooner. If you’re interested, take a peek….
Inspired and entertained by this video of Gay Talese’s underground writing and reporting lair.
I want one.
Thanks to the New Yorker for this treat.

While interviewing my ladies for my new book,
"The Girls of Atomic City," I heard countless stories about nylon shortages. Wonderful to come across this Smithsonian piece today.
OK. Why did it take me so long to experience the joy and delight that is a Melodysheep remix? This video, “Symphony of Science,” reminds me of all the reasons I love physics, while still understanding so little of it.
Enjoy!

Process. Action. Monday.
Thinking a lot about process, productivity, mental clarity this weekend. Was treating my black locust deck with Brazilian Rosewood oil (very green and non-toxic, for anyone looking for a wood treatment along those lines) and the constant application and ragging off was quite meditative.
Lists. Getting Things Done. It all boils down to choice and getting stuck in that choice moment can result in mental paralysis. The answer? More often than not, there is no right choice, only action and a mental alignment with the reality you want to create.
And wine helps, too.
