RE: The Power and Necessity of Handwriting

The other day I way telling you that I have forgotten when is the last time I have written anything with a pen and it is a shame. This post of your reminded me two completely unrelated things

I loved to read Michael Lewis's trading books. In Flash Boys, which I highly recommend by the way, he described a trading bot called Thor in the high frequency trading world, which ran on the principle that since you can't beat the 'fast' bots with speed, you must slow it down!
Shaving in the old fashioned way :) I always thought Skyfall is the best bond movie

Now I really want a fountain pen, but I don't know what am I going to write.

Oh, on a completely differnt note: have you been to this bar in Tokyo?

A few friends and I was discussing this bar and bartender. I definitely want to go here!

I'll add Flash Boys to my list. I always love a good trading book. I loved Moneyball.

You know, I do shave in an old fashioned way. Well, I've never tried a straight razor, but I do have a few different safety razors, along with badger hair shaving brushes. I once, in fact, when I was more into finding the perfect safety razor, wrote an essay entitled "Good bread and quality razor blades". It was mostly about the idea that spending more for quality was both more pleasant in the short term and cheaper in the long term.

I've never been to that bar. I don't make it to Tokyo very often, unfortunately, and when I do I am usually with the family, so bars aren't high on the list of places to visit. But love that video!

Oh, and Skyfall was awesome—agreed! (But "From Russia With Love" remains my favorite Bond film)
