...in a Christian way is to say,'I am excited about your future and I want to be part of getting you there. I'm signing up for the journey with you. Would you sign up for the journey to my true self with me? It's going to be hard but I want to get there.”

“The magic of each day lives in the unknown. It's waking up as one person, and accepting that when night falls, we may be someone else entirely. So, when you ask what my story is, forgive me----I'm not quite sure yet.”

For a missed connection in Washington, DC: “When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.”

For a missed connection in Maine: “One day, when I am a braver man, I will tell her these things, and then I will look her in the eye tell her I love her and ask her to be only mine. But until that day, we're just friends.”
On the Playful Art of Re-creating Folk Toys
The art of making folk toys is almost as old as art itself. Throughout history and throughout the world, people everywhere have created toys in the style of the local folk art. For these artists and artisans, making the toy itself involved as much creativity as the child experienced in playing with it.

Got this on Goodreads, a growing favorite interactive experience. I've read all of them, but you gotta love an engine that gets you from a valentine to LISP and other programming languages to Vonnegut, McCarthy, and Camus.

- I was browsing quotes tagged 'care' and got a bit startled by this one. There's something deep about being a too flexible worker in this thought. You bend for ever to keep your job. When you loose your job anyway due to a merger, a significant change in the market position of your employer etc... you notice that everything you can - what you considered to be your core skills - was valid only in the old silo that does not exist any more.
A question I currently find to be one of the most interesting is how to motivate people still living in the satisfactory old silo to dare to familiarize with the world expanding outside - the next world with thousands of next opportunities. What would be an understandable signal of care?

Foodspotting:
There are more and more apps for making various aspects of our lives more social. Goodreads and LibraryThing for books, Yelp for community reviews and business, GetGlue for movies and games, Foursquare for simply moving about town.
The whole social food app market is a fascinating space, targeting people in the place and moment where they make their decision. Anyone else ever buy something on impulse? Anyone NOT shop by impulse?
There was a great panel discussion of this phenomena in InternetWeek last Month.
Social Food Apps: How They're Changing Your Mind at Point of Sale:
www.ustream.tv/recorded/15228581
Foodspotting was one of the companies on the panel, along with Consmr, Snooth, and Grubster. I noticed a few folk I know on Foodspotting, so that is the one I'm trying out first. It is a simple concept - go to a restaurant, snap a pic of your meal with your smartphone camera, and say what you liked or didn't.
For myself, I actually like it better from the point of view of a lurker, rather than for choosing a restaurant. I get all kinds of wonderful ideas for what to make at home. I guess I'm a bit strange though.
These types of apps do have me thinking about how these simple social concepts connect in learning, and in critical thinking, as well as personal decisionmaking. Who do you trust and why? This is a very different process when choosing food than in choosing a book. It is intriguing looking at these different types of apps and thinking behind the scenes how they might really be working.
