		<title>significant objects</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The blog Un-canny Ontology recently took a look at the website significantobjects.com from the point of view of Heidegger&#8217;s object-orientated philosophy.
For those of you not familiar with the site significantobjects.com, the goal of the site was to see if given significance, random everyday objects could take on objective significance, as well. As the site explains:

Film projectors (as well as film cameras, processing equipment, etc.) use a special mechanism called a Geneva drive to ensure one whole frame is advanced at a time, instead of simply spooling a film continuously. Wikipedia:

The name derives from the device&#8217;s earliest application in mechanical watches, Switzerland and Geneva being an [...]]]></description>

I enjoyed this segment on Channel 4 news a couple of days ago and noticed just now that some lovely person has uploaded it to YouTube. Illustrator Ronald Searl has turned ninety and has some stories to tell us over a glass of champagne.

		<description><![CDATA[
Here&#8217;s a post more selfish than usual; only Dutch speakers can appreciate it. 
The poem Marc groet &#8217;s morgens de dingen (&#8220;Marc greets the things in the morning&#8221;), by the famous Flemish poet Paul van Ostaijen, is a fun poem to read aloud and is largely meaningless, so a translation is no good. Ploem ploem.

No, Time, thou shalt not boast that I do change:
Thy pyramids built up with newer might
To me are nothing novel, nothing strange;
They are but dressings of a former sight.
Our dates are brief, and therefore we admire
What thou dost foist upon us that is old,
And rather make them born to our desire
Than think that [...]]]></description>

		<title>earning this moment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tatyana by Maura Staunton.
She leaves the room. Onegin writhes
On stage, ashamed of his emotion.
He scorned her as a young girl.
Now he&#8217;s mad about her! But she&#8217;s
Married, rich, so stern and cold. . .
I lean forward in my opera seat.
There goes me. And isn’t that
Every man I loved in vain?
The cast bows to wild applause.
Our Tatyana [...]]]></description>

		<title>light and mood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rooftops in Moonlight. Henri Le Sedaner, 1910.
On a night-time drive recently with my father I was struck by what a different mood and sense of space was given to the otherwise familiar country lanes in the dusk light. More intimate, peaceful&#8230; they had an entirely different character.
Henri Le Sidaner had a knack for capturing this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Widely regarded as the world&#8217;s most influential living psychologist, Daniel Kahneman won the Nobel in Economics for his pioneering work in behavioral economics.
Using examples from vacations to colonoscopies, Nobel laureate and founder of behavioral economics Daniel Kahneman reveals how our &#8220;experiencing selves&#8221; and our &#8220;remembering selves&#8221; perceive happiness differently. This new insight has profound implications [...]]]></description>

		<title>the cinema as chapel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s easy to dismiss science fiction and other genre movies (and books, and games) as mindless entertainment. But the reason for the popularity of Star Wars, Twilight, and Lord of the Rings can&#8217;t simply be that our culture craves vapid adventure stories to while away the idle hours. I think we consume these modern epics [...]]]></description>
