The publishing industry is in pain, but still, the magazine publishers seem intent on digging their own grave, doing too little too late. Elvis has left the building. Remember in the early 2000s, we all got our first MP3-players and a year later we bought our new shiny iPod’s (with a design to die for). The natural next step would have been for the music industry to wake up and deliver their music to us, right? Unfortunately, Elvis had left the building. We were law-abiding citizens but frustrated that the record labels wouldn’t deliver this basic service to us, we downloaded from file sharing ..read more

Rajasthan, India words: Kiša Lala Photography … Most civilizations begin around watering holes - at the nexus of rivers and lakes around which tellurians thrive.

I don’t bake often for myself or friends, but if I do in the autumn and winter, it’s usually this.  “Perhaps home is not a place but simply an irrevocable condition.” ― James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room After spending two weeks in Athens for the Christmas holidays, after a few irresistibly sunny, yet very cold days which were all at once clamorous and intimately tranquil, nonchalant and deeply moving, I retu ..read more
