The earlier one on micro-forecasting is here   . IBM is building a series around these.. which we hope will raise awareness our Smarter Planet ideas on how computers can help solve environmental issues.  I’d really like to know what you think.. and get suggestions for how to improve them.. and get ideas for future topics.   If you like them, please send the links on to your friends.. we’d like to get them into circulation.

   Aside from that it was a quiet day. I did manage to get out and do some xmas shopping this afternoon. It felt good to be doing it. I did get choked up a few times as I realized I was buying for two kids

now.. not three.. It’s such a strange way that San’s absence is more

present than anyone sometimes.

Overall it’s good to be out in the world, seeing people shopping , running into freinds.. Church street looked beautiful at twilight.


I did come across one greeting card that stuck me very powerfully.. it’s had a quote by anais nin.. (kind of a surprise there.. ) Here’s what it said.

I’m leanring that again and again these days..

I think I’m expanding…

Nite folks, nite Sam !
