Man at His Window

Sorry for the light posting. I am under a deadline to deliver a presentation on someones IT implementation gone bad and it takes quite some time from my regular schedule.

I’ll leave you with this for today. The Angry Arab posted it yesterday and, though I am not young anymore, I love it, as it carries a bit of my autistic feelings these days.

Hot spell (don’t worry, it’s just Altantic humidity) over here in Ireland at the moment.
Saw a post somewhere in the last two days that says that it takes more energy to keep people cool rather than hot.
Standing at a window in a cool breeze seems cool.

Hansel and Gretel
told as an old silent black & white German expressionist film. Hansel and Gretel told the way it ought to be. Dark and Germanic.

anna missed,
When I clicked on that link, along with the picture I got one of those pop-up ads with a picture of Bush and the question “Is George Bush a good leader? YES/NO.”
It seemed very appropriate somehow.

That fair used to take place in Baghdad.
In 725, Baghdad was the biggest city in the world – more than one million people.
No that that has anything to do with anything.
