Surprising things pop up in Zuerich main station. Today as I wandered through, in a total daze, I noticed this strange structure:

Inside are a lot of things presented by ETH boffins and boffinettes (technical University of Zuerich) which if I was cool I would probably describe as cool. But I'm too old for that, not to mention semi comatose, so I'll settle for "interesting". For example wearable computers....

....and numerous slightly inscrutable interactive experiments hosted mostly on a gleaming array of very new, very expensive Macs. Clearly ETH are not lacking budget...

how many years old you think is old ? 40 ? 45 ? or 50 ?

The answer to that is probably a non-linear, highly conditional and subjective question. But in this context, if you feel a bit self-conscious saying “hey, cool” then you’re too old to say “hey, cool”. Then again, people older than me don’t seem to mind. I would say I’m old enough not to feel compelled by fashion to do things I don’t want to do. Or say. Then again I’m not sure I ever was. So maybe I’ve always been too old. How depressing

sorry for my english , my english is not well. so maybe sometime i can not express myself very well , but no problem , you can understand . i am 28 , but tell the truth , i feel i am about 35 . i think sometime old or not is related with mind expreience , but when i see your photos about your family , especially your note for your daughter, i think you are very young.
