  • A comment on Talk: Barry Schwartz: The paradox of choice

    Aug 29 2012: I work in the image business as a photographer and today, more than ever, it's about quantity not quality. My clients do not appear any happier than before. In fact, I think now with more images on their lap, they seem lost and focus on the images I may have edited out. As though, what if the trashed images are superior?

    A comment on Talk: Jamie Oliver's TED Prize wish: Teach every child about food

    Dec 3 2011: KFC was renamed when the word "Fried" in Kentucky Fried Chicken" was offensive and too obvious. So KFC appears less threatening I guess. Countless food companies conceal the truth in this fashion...
    Thank you Oliver for being so up front and clear on what needs to be done!
  • A comment on Conversation: If you could ask one question to all of your neighbors, what would you ask?

    Aug 4 2011: I would like to ask or suggest we re-think the use of fences. What are we trying to keep out or in?
    Fences... defining spaces between us. I've seen it on roof tops too which is completely ludicrous. My brother reacted to this and asked hypothetically, would I be comfortable with my neighbor's massive dog play with my 2yr old? Most likely not. However, I can't help think how wonderful it would be to add our backyards together as a central space, communal gardens and bigger spaces for the children to roam freely. It's pretty simple really.
