“God wants to see human beings - not ghosts who shun the world. In the whole of world history there is always only one really significant hour - the present. If you want to find eternity, you must serve the times.”

This video stopped me in my tracks. I can multi-task pretty well these days but the images and story here deserved full attention. Big props to Ben Crowell

Caltrain have a heart

Wed, 30 Jun 2010 01:32:29 -0400

I was riding the caltrain home tonight and there were two of us sitting on the ground in the bike car because of a lack of seats. Two stops in, a little kid in an oversized Giants jersey came down the steps to say, “hey guys a few people got off the train and there are some open seats upstairs if you want to grab a seat.”

I want to be more like that kid.

davemorin:

This is such an epic tragedy. The saddest part of which is that no one knows how to help. Outpourings of help were possible for Haiti and Chile because the tragedies themselves were easier to understand.

It seems like a lot of people are looking to BP to solve this problem. It seems like the question we should be asking of them is:

How can we help?

‘Get Well Soon’ note - presumably coloured in such a way so as to cheer up its recipient - sent to renowned French poet Jean Cocteau in 1916 during a short period of bad health. The letter was sent to him by his friend, Pablo Picasso

Jazz improv piano

Wed, 16 Jun 2010 01:38:31 -0400

I signed up for some jazz improv piano classes at Stanford and was quickly humbled when I sat down in my group lesson beside a 11 year old with a bowl-cut. A bowl-cut, perfect pitch and an honest feel for jazz.

I thought I’d be safe in the “intermediate” class but when they started throwing around B flat augmented seventh’s with flatted 9ths and sharped 13ths, and let’s roll it out with a harmonic line on top I knew I was done.

I’m inspired to work through this class and pick up a lot of the theory I skipped in my 10 years of classical lessons. I love watching faces, and anticipation as people listen and play jazz. Leading notes that leave you empty, as hands dive for minor strokes are my favorite.

Sun, 23 May 2010 14:33:53 -0400

“When a time to kill was published 20 years ago I soon learned the painful lesson that selling books was far more difficult than writing them. I bought a thousand copies and had trouble giving them away. I hauled them in the trunk of my car and peddled them at libraries, garden clubs, grocery stores, coffee shops, and a handful of bookstores.”
