Eve of Referendum Polls Split

On the eve of the referendum, Greek voters are undecided how to vote. If one believes the polls, it's essentially a dead heat with 43% 'no', 42.5% 'yes' and the rest undecided.

Of course, the accuracy of the polls is seriously in question.

Divided Greece

Bloomberg reports Greece Divided on Eve of Referendum to Chart New Economic Course

"What is certain is that come Monday, Greece won't be facing just massive economic problems; it will be a deeply divided country," said Nikos Marantzidis, a pollster and professor of political science at the University of Macedonia in northern Greece. "If the economic situation deteriorates further, which it probably will, the divide will only run deeper."

We find out soon enough. Polls are open 7:00AM to 7:00PM on July 5.

On Way Home From Iceland

Liz and I left Iceland today after a glorious 17 day trip in which we got little sleep. Sunset and sunrise were 1.5 to 3 hours apart and we were typically up for both.

I blogged in the afternoons, and we stayed in 14 different cities on our route.

With travel, blogging and photography, on several days I got as little as 2-3 hours sleep, and seldom more than 5 hours.

Will post some images after I edit them.

Seth's Blog : Embellishments

Embellishments

What are they for?

Absolutely nothing.

Well, that's not true. The fact that they aren't directly related to what you're trying to deliver is precisely why they exist. The 'nothingness' of their value is why they are valuable. An embellishment, a garnish, a filligree... it exists because it means you took a little extra time, you cared enough to add some beauty or rhythm to the thing you brought me.

As soon as we can afford it, as soon as we care, we pay extra for beauty.
