Capturing the unexpected

Walking back from a nice dessert (which had followed an enjoyable lengthy lunch and much good dancing outdoors), I was jokingly trying to take a photo of my friend Stephanie without looking... walking in front of her, and taking the photo from behind my back. As you can see, I did catch a bit of Stephanie in the photo, but also unexpectedly captured some of the trees which I walked past weekly and never noticed.

Strange how it sometimes takes a bit of randomness to highlight what we should already be seeing and appreciating.

On selfishness, obsolescence, and jubilant consumers

Several organizations are throwing up (their arms) in wild fear of their job sectors going the way of the dodo.

For instance, unless you've been living in a cave for the last few months, you probably already know about the new federal program which will block around 80% of telemarketing calls for those who sign up on the free national Do Not Call list.
