And indeed there will be time, To wonder, “Do I dare?” and, “Do I dare?”  Time to turn back and descend the stair.” ~ T.S. Eliot (at Parliament Square)

I Like Your Glasses, a literary speed dating event at Housing Works.
I was the cute boy taking photos all night.

The gentleman in the front is a volunteer barista at the bookstore, in fact! He was in the cafe this morning. HERO all around.
Thanks so much to Jesse for capturing the magic that was I Like Your Glasses.

George Ferris and his famous wheels get a Valentine’s Day tribute from Google for the inventor’s 154th birthday
George Ferris’s latest monument is coming in the form of a 210-metres spinning wheel at the centre of a $1.6-billion project in the United Arab Emirates. The “Dubai Eye” will be the world’s biggest Ferris wheel — beating out the London Eye, which stands at a puny 135 metres.

Ferris, who invented the iconic carnival mainstay, was born 154 years ago today. Google joined in the celebration Thursday by creating a doodle in his honour.

Dubai’s giant take on Ferris’s invention is just the latest chapter in a game of one-upmanship that can be traced back to a drawing on Ferris’s napkin in 1891. (Google; New York Times archives)
