2. International relocation is the ultimate excuse to have a brutal clear-out. Give away, sell or recycle everything that that you haven’t used or appreciated in the past year. Sure the odd item that didn’t make the cut will be missed – but this is easily outweighed by the pleasure of finding a new home for things and the psychological pleasure of letting go. In fact I’d go one step further and argue that the practical/emotional jolt that comes from ‘missing’ something helps reinforce its value, which in turn shapes future actions/consumption. Missing things is a Good Thing.
Right up my alley.

NYTimes’s Year in Ideas. A is for Automated Anesthesia, B is for Bubble Wrap That Never Ends, C is for Carbon Penance, etc… not people, not products, not events, not news—just ideas and concepts only. •

Best link this week as “The Story Gets Deeper”: HBOvoyeur. Be ready to want to see everything. How would one call this kind of production? Wikipedia calls it a theatrical multimedia experience and marketing campaign spreading over “the main website, HBO On Demand and HBO Mobile exclusive content, MySpace pages for the characters from the stories, supporting websites, and additional content for those willing to follow the “breadcrumbs” hidden in the other media”. •
Onesentence.org is true stories told in one sentence. If I meet somebody who has been working on a project for some time and I feel they are kind of sick of telling people about it (and thus don’t really feel like getting into explaining the whole thing) I always ask them to simply explain it in one sentence, no more. Challenging them to a concise yet full and direct explanation always seem to get them started and interested in talking about it. •
On My Desk : Creative folks share pictures of their work environments. •
My messy bedroom floor is the story of my life. I either need a gazillion hooks all over the walls or a maid or something. •
