Picked up fresh rye bread and my two new pairs of specs. I got a great deal on the lens coatings and the ultra-dark polarised lenses are great in the sun AND in the fluorescent hell that is K-Marché.

Pocket frens, can anyone recommend a good adolescent psychiatrist in Adelaide? For a young ?lad with severe depression and heavy weed use. Being managed by a GP who hasn't tried anything beyond a Lexapro script and an MHCP.

Michael Mosley's Fast 800 diet cookbook concerns me.

First, 800kcal is 600kcal less energy than your body needs to sustain life if you were in a coma.

Second, the recipes were developed by Mosley's 'GP wife.'

Bit sexist innit?

Third, why not collaborate with someone who has actual passion and expertise around food?

That one useful comment on that terrible article about tidying has really helped my tidying game... it identified the key challenge for me — tidying things that have no place. One solution was easy — I just ordered a shoe rack. I need some kind of solution for my collection of bags and backpacks, though.

Telling on himself SO HARD:

'Bruce Perens, one of the founders of the Open Source movement, is ready for what comes next: the Post-Open Source movement. "I've written papers about it, and I've tried to put together a prototype license," Perens explains in an interview with The Register. "Obviously, I need help from a lawyer. And then the next step is to go for grant money."'
