Efficiency is Beauty

[fancy_catsup]

To see some thing or some system working effectively at its peak level of organization is just my favorite. I continue to strive for and be impressed by efficiency. I remember sitting at the counter at a greasy spoon in San Francisco (Dottie’s), and watching the methodical fury and seemingly effortless precise timing that went into each meal

have you seen the qatsi film trilogy ? the films are quite engaging in the same manner as watching an assembly line or ant farm(in fact, the films depict the ant farm like qualities of humans), most especially the first one: 'koyaanisqatsi'. check em out ! here's a link to the site: http://www.koyaanisqatsi.org

Interesting!
I've added Koyaanisqatsi to the top of my Netflix que.

Thanks.

you betcha. maybe a warning about the films... they are not narrative, contain no plot, no characters, etc. just images (that's really an understatement). enjoy !

Wow. That was fantastic! I can't decide whether they were exaulting technology or condemning it, but I fully appreciate anything that offers a different way of looking at the world.

I can't believe I had never heard of this. Thank you so much.
