Senses working overtime #384

1 Burning Man




One of my daughters and her partner attended this event a week or so ago. That extraordinary image is of traffic leaving for home.


2 The most important forces shaping our world




This is one terrific piece of writing - I was fully engaged! Morgan Housel writes that apart from World War 2,

The three big ones that stick out are demographics, inequality, and access to information.


3 Knowing is no enough, we must apply




4 Kaizen or 'good change' (the principle of gradual change)




5 Curiosity




Overtime: How our favourite songs can save us

Senses working overtime #130

1 How to walk out of the Louvre with a masterpiece


Excellent piece from the New York Times.

2 Steven Spielberg



Thoughtful piece backgrounding a PBS film about SS. 

3 Zinger!!


Found this list by Mary Cella on:

EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT ME, THE FEMALE CHARACTER YOU’RE FALLING IN LOVE WITH IN A ROMANTIC FILM/TV SHOW WRITTEN BY A MAN

via James Whatley's Five Things - hits plenty of bullseyes!!

4 Hit the road Jack
Goodbye to these tired cliches!

5 To do

I'm not a fan of the daily 'to do' list - this is not that! As the song says, it's something else: Da Vinci's 'what I want to learn' list via Austin Kleon's newsletter.

Overtime: Build
This song just keeps on, erm, building. 

The Housemartin original popped up on my YouTube notifications and, of course, that lead me back again to Zuni's stunning (STUNNING) version. I love Zuni!
