Do you surf like you shop?

It’s been a day of random thoughts – PEQSS (Post Earthquake Stress Syndrome) – another one. I think I surf (the web) like I shop. I very rarely set out to ’surf’ the web, I pretty much never do it, because I don’t know where to start. My kind of surfing is to look for something specific. Just like when I shop. I don’t randomly wander and end up looking and buying interesting things along the way – I very much target specific shops for specific things and when on this train of thought never buy anything unless I find that exact thing I think exists. Back to surfing – I rarely come across interesting sites discovered link hopping journey – perhaps if I read general interest/newsy type sites I might find something interesting and follow it. Nah, don’t have the patience!

Finding a coat-hanger in the city

Walking back from getting my coffee today I saw a guy trying to get into the back window of his car (I assume it was his, perhaps I should’ve been a more thoughtful citizen and asked him in case he was stealing it) with a coat-hanger.  Which made me think – you see this fairly often when people lock their keys in their car, and they always seem to be able to find a coat-hanger somewhere. Whether on Panama Street or The Terrace. What do you do – find the nearest dry cleaner? Interesting.
