I’m in San Francisco.
It’s gorgeous.

I’ve been here for 20 days and today is the first day I’ve looked at a map. This means…
1) I have fantastic friends who have toted me around and guided me along for more than two weeks without complaint.
2) I’ve had GPS or pre-trip access to Google Maps for each car trip I’ve taken. We live in a destination-based world.

You’re in San Francisco. I’m in San Francisco. Work-together day, srsly!
hmm.. interesting image…
Did you know that during a conversation, especially when you’re speaking of objects, the other person usually pictures something completely different to what you are.
For example, if you mention the word “chair”, you’re going to be thinking of either a particular chair relevant to what you’re conversing OR a chair of some significance to you(why would a chair be significant? I don’t know :P). And they’re going to picture a different chair, unless of course they’ve seen this chair you’re talking about(how interesting could a chair really be? :P)
Isn’t it amazing… that even with all that… we manage to communicate at all?
I think George Bernard put it best “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”
Irrelevant comment, but the picture reminded me.
Would be interesting if the yellow block changes in shape and colour as it passes through the other guys head… hehe
