IKEA instructions

I wish everything hard in life came with IKEA instruction pictographs like this one.

In other news, my sleeping-on-a-mattress-on-the-floor days are over, I now have a real bed, assembled and comfy. Good stuff.

Wall Street Smarts

The financial system nearly collapsed,” he said, “because smart guys had started working on Wall Street.” He took a sip of his martini, and stared straight at the row of bottles behind the bar, as if the conversation was now over.

"Making money takes practice, just like playing the piano takes practice."

"Most of the people I know who are money-making-machines got started really early. Lemonade stands, car washes, lawn mowing, baseball card trading. I think the reason they are money-making-machines today is because they started early. They learned the skills of negotiation, pricing, selling, and market-reading early. They have more practice selling than most people. That’s one of the reasons they’re better at it than most people."

"It is not a sofa"

"It is not a sofa. Nor is it a sofa group. And it is certainly not a neatly arranged row of armchairs. What it is is a matchless seating environment that calls to mind the great masterpieces of landscape gardening. Or a perfectly fashioned town en miniature. In his inner eye, Hugo de Ruiter envisaged an unending play of possible additions and variations when he put his concept for the DS-165 down on paper. The result is a new design for contemporary society in its ever-growing quest for the structures of security in the midst of the breakneck change of information technology."

Really? It looks like a sofa to me. I'm amazed about the airy prose in commercials for lifestyle goods such as cars or high-end furniture. Who writes these things?

I guess for $20000 I would want it to be a new design for society. A sofa would cost much less.

(I found this gem at upscale furniture store Limn in SOMA. Pic #3 shows you the actual sofa, read more here.)
