Journal

I found an interesting community on LiveJournal called Embodiment. It’s a group of LJers who commit to keeping a daily written journal in 2006.
I keep an online journal on LJ, an offline journal electronically, and have a notebook I keep with me at all times for work notes. I’ve done this since 1990, when I [...]

Cryptic

I’m always intrigued by the spray-painted symbols and heiroglyphics workmen spray-paint on the sidewalks of San Francisco.
