I just subscribed to Todoist which is a simple “to-do list” manager that is remarkably sophisticated. Finally a simplified way to organize my list of tasks across multiple devices.

If you are ever in Los Angeles and are looking for an omakase experience as I mention in LOS, I suggest you visit Sasabune’s in Los Angeles. Just say how much you have in your pocket, and the rest is left up to the Master. Trust me!

Recently I had the opportunity to engage in a public debate on the Economist.com with the brilliant Richard Szafranski on the topic “If the promise of technology is to simplify our lives, it is failing.” In my defense of innovation and technology I found a renewed optimism that I haven’t felt in quite a while. Mr. Szafranski pointed to some of the key issues of technology that we quite conveniently forget, and I was heartened to engage in his ideas. I do sincerely believe that the next phases of technology development will be for the better because we have no other choice really. Failure cannot be the accepted state for the future.

I’m not a heavy Starbucks drinker, but I think practically everyone I know is. There seem to be a lot of books about Starbucks, but this particular one hit the spot for me and scored as a Venti. I enjoyed Howard Behar’s wisdom, and particularly this quote he had collected and placed on his wall, “If there was no praise or criticism in the world, then who would you be?” It felt very much like the one thing to remember for me. |
A month ago while in line to get on the plane at London Heathrow airport, I spied this old-style telephone with absolutely no buttons or display screen. There’s no confusion and nothing really to learn. True simplicity? In one sense so, but also limited utility.
