just... thinking, this morning

Chaboom mentioned this TED radio hour episode. I had time, once I finally got to the coffee today (home coffee maker is broken, may be irreparable i hope not) to listen.  The only downside is I ate all my Lunch already. It is going to be an interesting day, if insanely busy starting in a few minutes.

back to the radio... 

A good perspective shift, esp for me on one of the topics.  The "overhead." It still doesn't change my disdain for charities devoted to awareness of a disease, but it helps with being more sympathetic to the big event style charities that do direct significant resources to research even while pulling lots of 'overhead' down to generate those resources.  

My mother and step father would spend the weekend as street performers in Pioneer Square, and my brother's and I would be ranging over that block all day. 

There's a fair bit of introspection to be delved into after the final segment about music.  Take the line to photographs almost, digital music isn't much different than digital photography, to be excellent both require skill and practice and talent, not just fancy equipment. But then it seems more accepted to take w/o giving back in the photo world.  But maybe not if you look at the music sharing.  Grossly oversimplifying but still...  just thinking...

just, 
thinking...
