Embracing Simplicity (Unmeaning Flattery)

Photo of Apple founder Steve Jobs from the early 1980s. Writing about this photo, Geoffrey Litwack said, “In the room with him are enormous speakers, probably the best turntable that existed at the time, some records, reading material, a sitting mat, a teacup and a hundred thousand dollar Tiffany lamp.” “Having almost nothing is incredibly futuristic.” Original URL is http://www.litwack.org/2010/10/22/macbook-air-11-6/

I've longed for simplicity in my life for what seems like forever. For a variety of reasons, I think I'm ready to actually try it. Now I'm not exactly sure how that will manifest for me, but I'm curious to see.

I love today's photo of Steve Jobs at home in the early 80s. You can read more in the caption.

David Sylvian "Sleepwalker"

I was surprised to see that I have never listed any albums by David Sylvian before. This is a recently (2010) released compilation of his favorite/best tracks from the last ten years or so. There are some rare gems here and, as an added bonus, all the songs have remixed so they are not exactly the same. Highlights include “Money for All” and “Sugarfuel”.
