Feasting on computers
I have been enjoying watching feasting on waves and feasting on asphalt. They also happen to be filled with fun little travel/food related tidbits, and i share this one.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.
- Mark Twain
and
The further one goes the less one knows.
- Lao-tzu (sixth century BC)
i need to find a food related one in this epsiode! oh well. they are all good pithy sayings.
-update-
I feel i have to add this since my post title referenced computers. Microsoft research is upping the ante with their Surface product -> SecondLight. i recommend checking out the linked video from the article.

I LOVE the Twain quote about travel … so true. I am living proof, if I do say so myself. Living in Haiti makes it pretty hard for me endure the narrow-mindedness and prejudice that we see and hear all around us these days. I’d like to propose that everyone has to live in a third-world country for a year of their life. Might keep us from living so far beyond our means… And teach us a little about what really matters in life. People (other than ourselves).
Glad I finally made it on here to check out your recent thoughts and ramblings. AND pictures =) I’ve always liked your photography… almost. More so since you’ve moved on from taking 10 consecutive pictures of a spaceship model at the NASA station in Florida
