Whilst rummaging around in the debris under my monitor to find a toothpick, I instead found a stale cherry-flavored jelly bean at least six months old. These don't serve the same purpose AT ALL, but I'll take it! #Serendipity #BadTeeth

I tried something weird one time when I was out of other ingredients that worked out pretty well. I put finely minced dill pickle on pizza. It was actually good.

Real life #Fedimeet! I encountered @maggiechapman running along the Don a fortnight or so ago - she was running, I was ambling with the dogs.
It was a beautiful day and we agreed to not talk politics.
I forgot to note it here then but the wild raspberries have come out in that spot now, and the cygnets that hatched close by are swimming in the Don.

Dann halt mit ckeditor...
Jetzt habe ich jahrelang mit dem ScribeFire Browserplugin die Formatierung von Blogbeiträgen geregelt und bei Copy & Paste Passagen die Originalformatierung von Beiträgen etc. problemlos und 1:1 übernehmen können. Die Tage wurde dann die Unterstützung des Plugins in Brave oder anderen Brosern eingestellt, die damit dem Beispiel von Firefox folgen. Verständlich einerseits, ist doch das Plugin seit 2018 nicht mehr aktiv entwickelt worden.
Ärgerlich andererseits, daß ich armer Tropf nun auf der Suche nach einem anständigen WYSIWYG HTML Editor bei ckeditor r 4.14.0 (revision 8a12b04171) gelandet bin, der bei unserem Blogsystem schon immer dabei ist. Auch das ist nicht gerade taufrisch, aber irgendwie bin ich gerade zu faul, um da eine aktuelle Version reinzuprökeln, zumal die ziemlich sackteuer ist.
Man kann eben nicht immer gewinnen...

I accidentally bought ham instead of salami because someone put it back in the wrong place and I didn't examine the package well enough. It actually turned out to be really good sliced ham instead of that ultra processed crap they usually package.

From a couple of weeks ago, I was sitting outside enjoying the sunset and after the sky colors faded I got out my longer lens & started taking photos of the crescent #moon. As soon as I started snapping I saw some objects flying through the frame - by pure luck it was some high flying #swifts, their crescent shapes a dark mirror of the moon’s.

Learning is messy. When we embrace this reality, we become open to event designs that provide the flexibility and openness to address it.

A quotation from Samuel Johnson
Pleasure is very seldom found where it is sought. Our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks. The flowers which scatter their odours from time to time in the paths of life, grow up without culture from seeds scattered by chance.
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1759-05-26), The Idler, No. 58More about this quote: wist.info/johnson-samuel/20542…

Unbelievable. I've been asked to stage an exhibition of my student's photographs. Looking for a venue/gallery who might sponsor a good cause.
After a bit of night shooting, I'm sitting in my local curry house, waiting for a kebab roll, and a man asks me what camera I'm using.
We get talking; He's a fine art photographer, who specialises in staging photographic exhibitions!

When I got home from getting vaxxed today, I found a fifty-dollar bill in my garden.
I wish I could remember what seeds I planted last season. I'd love a bumper crop of fifties. #serendipity

§16 – Don’t be that guy
This entry is part 28 of 37 in the series Study inspired by Pakour & Art du Déplacement by V. ThibaultSerendipity.
I’ve been working on writing these thoughts for over three years. Without actually checking, I think it was the Fall of 2015 when I sat in Le Jardin Joan d’Arc and read my copy of Thibault’s book in one, all-day sitting. Almost 4 years ago?
I created this particular blank note for Chapter 16 in May of 2016. “16”?
As I’m writing, it is May of 2019. Another, “May”?
About three years ago I started the project which eventually became Movers Mindset. Two years ago the project grew to include a podcast.
This morning, I feel compelled to “finally” get around to writing something for Chapter 16. I open my digital copy, flip to Chapter 16, and I read, “Chris ‘Blane’ Rowat once wrote…”
Care to guess who I am interviewing for the podcast today? Yes, really.
This is sublime.
All those threads woven together lead to this moment of realization at 8:00 in a rented London flat, 6,000km from my home.
Critically, while I’ve known for months the exact date and time of Chris’ interview, I’ve not read Chapter 16 recently enough to have remembered that it starts with his sentiments. If I had, I’d certainly have made some complicated plan to co-publish this writing and the podcast, or something—but this serendipity would not have materialized. Energized by the jolt of adrenaline when I read Chapter 16 this morning, I now feel a renewed belief in the entire Movers Mindset project! (Which is good, because most days there’s more strenuous labor than love in the labor of love.)
But, serendipity and coincidence are bullshit.
It’s just my brain, (yours may be the same,) working its tremendous powers of pattern matching. This morning my mind found a slightly-more-interesting-than-usual pattern and screamed, (ala the old adrenal gland,) that it had found something that demanded much closer attention. I’ve been spurred to carefully read Chapter 16 about five times this morning, to mull over my thoughts, to spend an hour or so writing, and to think of all the people I want to share this story with. I was inspired to create a vision of how the interview will go, new questions have popped into my head, and I’ve thought of a specific person who I now realize I’d forgot for about two years!
I wonder: What would life be like if I simply paid closer attention?
What if—instead of needing a kick in the adrenals to be this motivated—I could begin to intentionally notice things a bit smaller than this morning’s coincidence?
What if!
…and of course, “don’t be that guy.”
