stuff I stare at
flâneur
I love the French. They actually have a word for someone, who essentially wishes to get lost in a city. There’s no equivalent word in English. Vive les flâneurs!
words :martingale
Players using the Martingale system do not have any long-term mathematical advantage over any other betting system or even randomly placed bets.
words :guide to baking
Dan Lepard came to London from Melbourne as a teenager in the 1980s and went on to work as a photographer for Italian Vogue. So how, you may well ask, did he end up at the leading edge of Britain’s baking revival over the past 10 years? It’s taken a bit of luck, a bit of bravado - and a lot of passion and skill.

photography :zoho invoicing
Pretty invaluable tool for keeping track of invoices/expenses, there might be better, slicker options out there, but 37 Signals haven’t come up with it yet.
