1. “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”
2. “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
3. “The value of an idea lies in the using of it.”
4. “Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.”
5. “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.”

The above photo is of the exploded light bulb in the bathroom. Light bulbs explode lots here in Kuwait for some reason. I think it is the voltage levels fluctuating too much.

I setup an account on Flickr rather than filling up my own web space with photos. Though that gives me less control of them in the far future. e.g. Flickr could start asking for more money or whatever.

So for now photos are on Flickr at Mister Ian

I still have the Pbase account also as IDB

More photos of the year. We get the Herald Tribune here and it is a good paper. Not too many ads and worth reading.
