zen bones...

OK, so why the zen bones thing?

About 20 years ago I stumbled upon a book called "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones". Being vegetarian - the "flesh" bit didn't grab me, but the short pithy Zen stories inside it, did.

Ever since then my web nick has been zenbones, my Hotmail, my Gmail address, you name it. It's kinda stuck.

Is the blog about Zen? Nope.

CellO’s new logo What do you think of Cell-C’s new logo? Is it just me, or do you also see “Cell O” first and then the C in the ©? I can see what they’re trying to achieve, by attempting to “own” the copyright symbol © - clever perhaps, but methinks a bit clumsy. Perhaps they could have slimmed-down the width of the outer circle. Dunno. Hmmm.

iReading in the bath is now possible I knew sooner or later someone would design this. Reading in the bath is one of life’s sacred pleasures.

I love these cable-ties! Anyone who knows me well enough, knows I love cable ties. I have them in all sizes. But not in all colours. Or all shapes. Especially not these shapes! Wow, they’re stunning! Click to see the gallery » A little Nature Here And There
