All apologies, the rose project ground to a sudden halt with the release of iOS 5 by Apple. Stupidly I tried to update the first moment and it took me two days to get my iPhone back working. In that time I lost the zest of the project. To summarize the single long stem rose from Whole Foods in Dedham MA lasted greater than 10 days before it bent at the top of the stem and continued to dry. The air in my office is rather dry, despite the rose itself being in a wine bottle filled with tap water. In the end I’d give the rose a very acceptable life span of 10 days before looking kind of sad.

Whole Foods Rose – day 1
Saturday October 1, 2011 – a single rose purchased at Whole Foods Dedham.
It is my intention to take an iPhone snapshot of this flower in it’s makeshift vase every day of it’s flower life. Just to see how long a Whole Foods Rose does indeed last. Although the permalink indicates all from the same time period, I am trusting my iPhone to carry me through here. Let’s see how the flower lives. -j.
Go Team Green.
The Boston Celtics won tonight, or more to the point, last night. They did this as a team in the face of a stupendous onslaught from a dead-eye shooter that was raining threes from every small slice of an opening.
The same Celtics team beat king Lebron already in 2010, and tonight they beat emperor Bryant by out hustling when it counted and making just enough clutch baskets to neutralize those improbable threes. It was real fun to see a team beat an anointed superstar – again.
Over the last decade in Boston sports world the mantra of TEAM before individual has rewarded these athletes and their fans with multiple world championships. It was real satisfying to watch team green win at the Garden tonight.
Two more nights like tonight and another banner will be hung.
No matter the final tally, watching the Celtics win as a team was amazing. Totally enjoyed it.
BEAT L.A.!
The Indoor Outdoor Magic.
I don’t want to go to far out on a limb, but I bet it was a New Englander that came up with the idea for the indoor outdoor remote thermometer. Really, I do. My mother is totally addicted to hers and she bought me one for my office for Christmas. Now I’m addicted. Something about the weather. I tell ya. Around here there’s always something to say about the weather. And with this puppy you have twice as much to say!
The Last Ten Minutes.
In the last 10 minutes on Twitter I found Conan O’Brien and a link to this Muppets‘ video.
The video is awesome and I cannot wait to see what Coco has to say.
Entertaining as always.
As One Photographer Says.
There’s a rap out there that the “media” is full of bad folks.
Not true. There are some, just like anything else.
And some really good ones too.
I follow this photographer on Twitter.
This was a rough one.

The Daily Walkaround
The sky was blue and the sun was shining this afternoon. Had to take a walk around my neighborhood and it just so happens that my neighborhood includes a fancy dancy new outdoor mall which has plenty of nifty things to see. Given that the mall developers and I were basically building our businesses at the same time – I like to take daily walks at lunch to see what’s new on their side of the fence.
Looks like another new eating and drinking place is about to open!
