Here is the thank you note Santa left us during his Christmas Eve visit:
Dear Alana,
When I came down the chimney I saw that you had made me a wonderful gingerbread house. I thought it was so nice that I couldn’t eat it, so I just ate the cookie.
I hope that you enjoy all your presents. The elves had a good time making them all.
Merry Christmas,
S. Claus
PS. Rudolph says that Ringer is a good watchdog. He woke up when he saw us coming. Santa had to give him a treat so he would stop barking.
Please note the lack of a toilet paper roll. This is a spray-ey thing you use to, er, clean up. The button on the left is to flush, and the faucet... I have no idea what that's for. Won't ask.
"That's always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people would want to be around someone because they're pretty. It's like picking your breakfast cereals based on color instead of taste."
- Margo Roth Spiegelman in Paper Towns
This obsolete $20 Louisiana Bank Note. circa ....1857, was never signed or issued.
It is a "Remainder" from "The American Bank Note Co. of NY.
I like to surprise my lovely with random little notes scattered 'round the house. Sometimes they take the form of commentary scrawled into the margins of the newspaper left open on the kitchen table. Or a Post-it in his cereal box. This one found its way onto the bathroom mirror.
The other day I decided to spread the Flickr love by writing loads of testimonials for beloved contacts who had none. They've all been sitting around unapproved, which led me to the discovery that Flickr's testimonial notifier is not working, and has not for awhile now. And lo and behold, I also realized there was a really sweet one waiting for ME to approve! D'oh! Who knows how long that's been sitting there, and I felt so rude not acknowledging it til now! So I suggest y'all go to your profiles and click on 'Manage testimonials' on the right hand side... you might have a surprise in store!

The back of the notes are rather similar. Although different systems, the governments pick up the typical architecture to represent the country or the territory. Mainland China uses the Great Hall of People, Taiwan looks like the National Palace Musume and Hong Kong use the famous Victory Bay.
钞票的背面不尽相似。虽然政治体制不同，但是各个政府都选取了具有代表性的建筑来代表这个国家或地区。 中国大陆使用人民大会堂作为北京，台湾看起来像故宫博物院，而香港则使用了著名的维多利亚港。

Did You Know?
Males sing complex songs on wintering grounds in Hawaii, that can last up to 20 minutes and be heard 20 miles (30 km) away!
In the Pacific, humpbacks migrate seasonally from Alaska to Hawaii--they can complete the 3,000-mile (4,830 km) trip in as few as 36 days!
Species Description:
Weight:25-40 tons (50,000-80,000 pounds; 22,000-36,000 kg);
newborns weigh about 1 ton (2,000 pounds; 900 kg)
Length:Up to 60 feet (18 m), with females larger than males;
newborns are about 15 feet (4.5 m) long
Appearance: Primarily dark grey, with some areas of white
Lifespan:About 50 years
Diet:Tiny crustaceans (mostly krill), plankton, and small fish; they can consume up to 3,000 pounds (1360 kg) of food per day
Behavior:Breaching (jumping out of the water), or slapping the surface
Humpback whales are well known for their long pectoral fins, which can be up to 15 feet (4.6 m) in length. Their scientific name, Megaptera novaeangliae, means "big-winged New Englander" as the New England population was the one best known to Europeans. These long fins give them increased maneuverability; they can be used to slow down or even go backwards.
Similar to all baleen whales, adult females are larger than adult males, reaching lengths of up to 60 feet (18 m). Their body coloration is primarily dark grey, but individuals have a variable amount of white on their pectoral fins and belly. This variation is so distinctive that the pigmentation pattern on the undersides of their "flukes" is used to identify individual whales, similar to a human fingerprint.
Humpback whales are the favorite of whale watchers, as they frequently perform aerial displays, such as breaching (jumping out of the water), or slapping the surface with their pectoral fins, tails, or heads.
In the summer, humpbacks are found in high latitude feeding grounds, such as the Gulf of Maine in the Atlantic and Gulf of Alaska in the Pacific. In the winter, they migrate to calving grounds in subtropical or tropical waters, such as the Dominican Republic in the Atlantic and the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific. The Arabian Sea humpback does not migrate, remaining in tropical waters all year.
Humpback whales travel great distances during their seasonal migration, the farthest migration of any mammal. The longest recorded migration was 5,160 miles (8,300 km); seven animals, including a calf, completed this trek from Costa Rica to Antarctica. One of the more closely studied routes is between Alaska and Hawaii, where humpbacks have been observed making the 3,000-mile (4,830 km) trip in as few as 36 days.
During the summer months, humpbacks spend the majority of their time feeding and building up fat stores (blubber) that they will live off of during the winter. Humpbacks filter feed on tiny crustaceans (mostly krill), plankton, and small fish and can consume up to 3,000 pounds (1,360 kg) of food per day. Several hunting methods involve using air bubbles to herd, corral, or disorient fish. One highly complex variant, called "bubble netting" is unique to humpbacks. This technique is often performed in groups with defined roles for distracting, scaring, and herding before whales lunge at prey corralled near the surface.
In their wintering grounds, humpback whales congregate and engage in mating activities. Humpbacks are generally polygynous "having multiple female mates" with males exhibiting competitive behavior on wintering grounds. Aggressive and antagonistic behaviors include chasing, vocal and bubble displays, horizontal tail thrashing, and rear body thrashing. Males within these groups also make physical contact, striking or surfacing on top of one another. These bouts can cause injuries ranging from bloody scrapes to, in one recorded instance, death. Also on wintering grounds, males sing complex songs that can last up to 20 minutes and be heard 20 miles (30 km) away. A male may sing for hours, repeating the song several times. All males in a population sing the same song, but that song continually evolves over time. Humpback whale singing has been studied for decades, but scientists still understand very little about its function.
Gestation lasts for about 11 months. Newborns are 13-16 feet (4-5 m) long and grow quickly from the highly nutritious milk of their mothers. Weaning occurs between 6-10 months after birth. Mothers are protective and affectionate towards their calves, swimming close and frequently touching them with their flippers. Males do not provide parental support for calves. Breeding usually occurs once every two years, but sometimes occurs twice in a three-year span.
Habitat
During migration, humpbacks stay near the surface of the ocean.
While feeding and calving, humpbacks prefer shallow waters. During calving, humpbacks are usually found in the warmest waters available at that latitude. Calving grounds are commonly near offshore reef systems, islands, or continental shores.
Humpback feeding grounds are in cold, productive coastal waters.
Distribution
Humpback whales live in all major oceans from the equator to sub-polar latitudes.
In the North Pacific, there are at least three separate populations:
California/Oregon/Washington stock that winters in coastal Central America and Mexico and migrates to areas ranging from the coast of California to southern British Columbia in summer/fall;
Central North Pacific stock that winters in the Hawaiian Islands and migrates to northern British Columbia/ Southeast Alaska and Prince William Sound west to Kodiak; and Western North Pacific stock that winters near Japan and probably migrates to waters west of the Kodiak Archipelago (the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands) in summer/fall. There is some mixing between these populations, though they are still considered distinct stocks.
Threats
Humpback whales face a series of threats including:
entanglement in fishing gear
Whale watch harassment
Habitat impacts
Harvest
Humpbacks can become entangled in fishing gear, either swimming off with the gear or becoming anchored. We have observed incidental "take" of humpback whales in the California/ Oregon swordfish and thresher shark drift gillnet fishery. Potential entanglement from gear from several fisheries can occur on their long migration from Hawaii to Alaska. Humpbacks in Hawaii have been observed entangled in long line gear, crab pots, and other non-fishery-related lines.
Inadvertent ship strikes can injure or kill humpbacks. Whale watching vessels may stress or even strike whales. The central North Pacific stock is the focus of a whale-watching industry on their wintering grounds in the Hawaiian Islands. The feeding aggregation in southeast Alaska is also the focus of a developing whale-watching industry that may impact whales in localized areas.
Shipping channels, fisheries, and aquaculture may occupy or destroy humpback whale aggregation areas. Recreational use of marine areas, including resort development and increased boat traffic, may displace whales that would normally use that area. In Hawaii, acoustic impacts from vessel operation, oceanographic research using active sonar, and military operations are also of increasing concern.

View of Rasmus Nilausen’s “Theatre of Doubts” (2021) in the exhibition “Panorama 21. Apunts per a un incendi dels ulls” (“Panorama 21: Notes for an Eye Fire”), MACBA Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, 22 October 2021–27 February 2022. Curated by Hiuwai Chu and Latitudes. Photo: Roberto Ruiz.
Rasmus Nilausen’s installation of paintings is a homage to philosopher Giulio Camillo’s sublime and ridiculous attempt to explain the entire universe and allow all its relations and meanings to be beheld at once.
Camillo built his Theatre of Memory in Venice in around 1530. Inverting the perspective of classical theatre, a single spectator could stand on a central “stage” to look out at an auditorium of seven rows of seven pictures. An occult matrix of divine, celestial, and terrestrial knowledge, this mystical rhetorical device enabled the entirety of existence and its workings to be called to mind and read off.
Evidently flawed and over-ambitious, Nilausen’s liberal revival of the memory theatre format draws on 49 works from his own painterly and allegorical universe. Visitors are invited to wander among images which themselves seem to be going for a walk, to adopt multiple viewpoints, see unfamiliar connections, and summon new memories. The first row takes on the seven planetary deities of Camillo’s Renaissance design: Diana (the Moon), Mercury, Venus, the Sun (represented by a banquet), Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

These notes are the logical way to extend and productize David Allen's idea of leaving something by the door so that you don't forget it.
I saw these today at The Container Store.
This is the inn we love in Falmouth. It's a beautiful house, about a block away from the beach, the proprieter is a true character, and the breakfast is spectacular.

I am so glad fur is back for fall! Transition from summer in a vest version that can be worn for work, dinner, or girls night! Of Course I like to take fashion cues from my favorite stylist Rachel Zoe! She rocks her fur vest over a black top and jeans for dinner or with an evening gown for a night on the town. My other style icon is Olivia Palermo, she wears hers to work over a men's wear shirt, pencil skirt, and belts it. The Olsen twins are also on trend wearing there's with black long sleve shirts. How will you style yours? Start shopping!

I was fortunate enough to manage to get a front row seat at the Blue Note for a very rare Frank Sinatra, Jr. performance. It was an evening of "Frank." Everyone in the place (which included some actors from the Sopranos) thought Frank, Jr. brought the place down.
He performed a cornucopia of songs that his dad stylized. To the best of my recollection, the set went like this:
Can't Take You Nowhere
That Face
I Was a Fool to Let You Go
I'm Moody
Here's to the Losers
One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)
I Get a Kick Out of You
Street of Dreams
I've Got You Under My Skin
Nature Boy
A Foggy Day
Summer Wind
My First Affair
Strangers in the Night
Where or When
You Shot Me Down
New York, New York.
A most excellent performance from a most excellent performer.
This is a page from an old notebook I just found. It's at least 10 years old.
The top part is one of my many odes to my wife.
The middle is 4 characters I was working on when I finally convinced myself I can't draw. The one with the beard is me at 40. The guy to the right always has his back to the "camera." The girl lying on the beach never wears a shirt. The guy off in the distance is ... who knows.
Then a note to myself about remembering that all people have stories.
Then some notes on story ideas.
Yes. I used to be a writer.
Sadly UX pays me more in a year than I'd ever make in a lifetime as a writer.
Last week a box with fabulous goodies arrived from Darkroom Door. Thanks Rachel!
The black and white photochips looked perfect to decorate a note holder I had, perfect size and color.

We visited this abandoned farm, hidden somewhere in Belgium. Have no historical facts of this place unfortunately.
This was our first visit on arrival to Belgium and a nice warm up to the beginning of an awesome 4 day explore.
Today during the Fall Creek Festival I decided to put put my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to the test of being my sole source for photos and videos during this event.
While I have used my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to take a lot of photos and videos for my website I had not used it as the primary camera for a day-long photo shoot.
I will be talking more about what the results and my thoughts about the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 capabilities in another video very soon on YouTube (www.youtube.com/user/xg6250/)
Rough magazine spread for a fictional magazine called Note. The brief was wide open, my goal is to create spreads and an identity for a music magazine. The content will be more indie; with the absence of top 40 bands, but I want it to be as accessible as main stream magazines (such as Rolling Stone, Revolver, Billboard etc.), with the same kind of budget.
Still needs fine tuning but I'm curious to hear opinions so far.
I am a sucker for handwritten letters and notes. I love sending handwritten letters, mainly because I love imagining the other person's reaction.
This is a note that was given to me today and frankly, I think it's very kind and sweet. I'm a sucker for kind and sweet, too.
(Also, bonus points for good penmanship!)
