My Jomentum, Screwed



Yes, this is my first Morning Macro post in several weeks. Thanks to Project M, my mojomentum with Morning Macro has been screwed. So, above is a lovely close-up of a rusty screw for your macronius pleasure.

Sorry for the big hole in content consistency for this little site. Getting back into the swing of things at work/home after two weeks of Project M'y goodness has proven a little of a shock to the system. I can say, however, that Project M did confirm for me that there is value and success in the way I make decisions, knowing the right one when I've arrived at it rather than "project managing" absolutely every detail.

If you know me, you know that I am sort of an anti-project manager. That tends to make the people I work with/for a little nutsy. But it's how I've always done good work.

Enough about me, how about that cool rusty screw up there? Just, how about it? Seriously. Send me some ideas for tiny stuff you want to see big. Do it now, before the end of the world comes and you missed out on knowing what coriander seeds look like, or toothbrush bristles.

Send me your suggestions for something tiny that you'd like to see big.

Balls of Steel: tiny, but still imposing



The ball of a ball whisk. The dealeos at the end of a thing like this.

I don't know what kind of specialized mixing and whisking this type of whisk is used for. I have scrambled eggs and whisked hollandaise with this whisk. I imagine it's good for things that need connective blobs squished apart (like eggs), and the inertial velocity of the metal balls helps break that up?

I am particularly surprised at the detail of the scratches all along the surface of this subject. And the chasms and deformations, stained with either old food particles or rust... I swear it looks clean and gleaming and sanitary from a normal perspective. But close up, this approximately 5mm steel ball looks like something out of The Running Man.

Send me your suggestions for something tiny that you'd like to see big.
