I\u2019ve taken many photos over the past few days, but almost all of them were taken at night and are terrible. I\u2019m sure that my camera can take good long-exposure shots but I have to dig up the manual and figure out what I\u2019m doing wrong.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve spent the last week working, and looking for places to work. When I\u2019m in Minneapolis I forget that the coffeehouse culture there is fairly unique — every corner in uptown has a cafe full of freelancers sitting in front of laptops, so no one looks twice at me if I park in a booth for hours on end.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In order to avoid going crazy in my tiny room at Novena, I\u2019ve been looking for an out-of-the-house place to work here, with limited success. Today I was on my way to an expat bar that might fit the bill but it started pouring, so I ducked into the nearest building, which turned out be the public library.<\/p>\n

Like all public space in Singapore, there\u2019s a fair bit of propaganda to weed through. For instance, a moment ago there was a quite loud announcement over the public address system, encouraging parents to keep their children quiet. And, there are banners all over the place promoting \u2018Kindness Week,\u2019 whatever that is.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve worked an exceptionally long week this week, in large part because there was a big breakthrough with our Japanese product (it hasn\u2019t worked since the new Apple operating system came out.). The breakthrough happened while I was sitting in a gaming cafe, so I wound up pinned to a not-very-comfortable chair for 8 hours while we put a release together. Of course, no one thought sitting \/there\/ for eight hours was strange.<\/p>\n
