I took a large celeriac in a plastic bag out of the fridge and asked my wife whether she wanted it with our meal. With a look of surprise on her face, she said “What’s that, a human head?”.

As if I normally keep my severed heads in plastic bags in the fridge!

Normality in the Rosam household.

Worth a few minutes of your time.

(And just to prove my categories are really broken, I’ve had to put this entry in ‘Stuff’).

“most people are fools, most authority is malignant, God does not exist, and everything is wrong.”

These are the four maxims that guide Ted Nelson, the ‘father of hypertext’, and they’ve been bouncing around my brain today. Reading them the first time, I found the words almost disturbing in their bleakness.

But things got even more disturbing as I realized I agreed that many people are fools, most authority is malignant, and many things are wrong. I do believe in some organizing force in the universe, but not in God as a Father Christmas-like figure with simpler dress sense and a keen sense of megalomania.

This can’t be my world view, too.

And now I have that other poseur’s favourite, a Moleskine notebook – the bigger size, unlined, if you’re interested. Actually, it’s a really nice thing to have. Perhaps too nice to fill with meeting notes.

Anyway, I’ve just filled in my contact details on the first page, only to bump into a line that says:

As a reward $…………………………………..

So what’s it worth?

What’s yours worth to you?
