When You Are Old
When you are old and gray and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face; And bending down beside the glowing...

by Sam Hamill a letter to Hayden Carruth It’s been nearly forty years since you wrote that poem about writing poems against all those wars, Harlan County to Italy and Spain. When your Selected Poems arrived today, it was one of the poems that gave me pause reading it again. We’ve been at war ever since. I too, born in World War, have lived and written against that particular stupidity...

Salvation at hand: a convergence
I frequently visit McSweeney’s, the online vestiges of the progressive little-guy publishing house by the same name. I’ve been fascinated with Lawrence Weschler’s convergences concept, or, as he calls it, “an unlikely, striking pair of images” that evokes some kind of profound reaction.

Following in the fine tradition of ending the names of Web 2.0 tools with -r instead of -er, Retrievr is a super-cool visual search engine for Flickr images. Simply sketch in (approximately) what you’re looking for and Retrievr will find something that kinda looks like it. I can’t wait for this to grow more sophisticated.
Google Trends
Google Trends is pretty neat. Here I’m comparing the search trends of a popular Christmas present (iPods-in the blue line) with a popular summer activity (camping-in the red line). Notice the peaks. Awesome.
