Today it’s really hot. Not so long ago it was 27 degrees. The last couple years after living in Portland, OR (from Los Angeles) it’s actually great to have some defined seasons even if the scale seems to “bottom out” in both directions. The peak of the day is around 4pm in the afternoon. Also have my macbook on an ice-pack just incase !

“THE DALLES, Ore., June 8 — On the banks of the windswept Columbia River, Google is working on a secret weapon in its quest to dominate the next generation of Internet computing.

“Perfuming is most unlike manufacture. And perfumers should be proud to assume our historic roles as enchanters, soul feeders, sacred pimps, and alchemists. ‘Marketing people’ are fine enough when it comes to peddling wares but let us remember always that it is the perfumer, the flowermaster, the guardian of the Blue Hour, who can charm the birds and the bees in the human spirit—and destroy its dinosaurs.” Scattered applause. Shocked murmurs. Nervous Laughter. Then, the white-on-white whirr of blank tape.

It’s no wonder that Pythagoras was so fascinated with this number.
