That video, shot this morning with the iPhone (hence the narrow - I always forget to turn it sideways): Projecting this week, an angry bleggalgaze, a forlorn metaphor: ever have a pair of shoes you thought you would love but they turned out deeply flawed, you put them away in the corner of a closet and discover them two years later, forget why you don't like them, put them on, get to work, remember why they were buried in the corner of the closet? This week, this blog, this metaphor.
