Kandor in a bottle →
I’ve been reading Umberto Eco’s Travels in Hyperreality.

Getting creative with Bento
I think I’ve finally found a way to collect and classify all my ephemera, both digital and physical. I started having a little look at Bento, Filemaker’s database software, to teach to my customers at work. After fiddling with it for a bit and downloading the iphone app as well, so I can get my geek on wherever I am, I began to realise the potential.
