Seth's Blog: The power of remarkable
What a funky, fashionable idea! It works as trouser socks across genders but I wonder what they would do for women who need to wear staid stockings/ tights.

the internet is for oversharing
Does the internet have a consensus on sending an email to an ex with whom you ended things not necessarily angrily, but awkwardly?
Context: bad timing. We were both ending long term relationships, but he was much farther ahead in the process. He ended up kind of spinning out when I wasn’t catching up in that process, which is a nice way of saying he kind of went nuts. Things ended on a really bizarre note, which was punctuated by a big sigh of relief on my end.
I am the last person to Google stalk, and yet a few weeks ago, I went into deep Google (somewhat common name) and found him. Guy really seems to have pulled himself together, which is fantastic, and according to his FB thumbnail pic, may have a son, which is equally fantastic.
I want to send him an email, tell him all is cool on my end and that I am glad that he really turned things around for himself. Yet having typed all that out, I am pretty sure the answer is “don’t.” Sleeping dogs and all that. I just cared about him quite a bit and always will, and really wanted to congratulate him.
I think a general test would be “does it serve any purpose for you?”. In this case, it is hard to see what that purpose would be. So yes, the answer is “don’t”.
Besides anybody who says “I am the last person to Google stalk” best convince himself/ herself first :-)

Twitter / Penelope Trunk: Late-night run, moon-filled...
Call me too factual and a kill-joy but this is exactly the kind of nonsense that does not survive in real-time social media…
“Moon-filled sky”? Really, Penelope?
Considering this tweet is dated June the 5th, and June the 4th was a no-moon night, either you are on a different planet or your moon waxes rather more rapidly than everybody else’s.

“ Have you ever wondered which hurts the most: saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing, and wishing you had?
Unknown (via milkwasabadchoice)
I never wonder. I say what I want and at the right time too. The “hurt” is for the other person to “enjoy” if they so wish. ;-)

German guide to Brit-free holiday or 'how Europeans demonstrate this civility and affection for fellow Europeans'
Most European countries are probably smaller than a large Indian city.
But oh man, the parochialism!
Why does the EU even exist?? Yes, ok we get borderless travel but hey we get visa-free travel to the US too. And they are not EU. It is a matter of negotiating.
I hate this random antipathy and antagonism.

not just CYA but an excellent business tool..
Whenever it’s clear that a person chose phone over email to avoid a paper trail, I send a full email recap to show that I understood them.
.. to ensure there are no misunderstandings. Also handy when the regulators come a-probing. ;-)
