Price of Logo’s

Wonderful tale here about how the Apple logo designer got 50 cents reminds of Trevor Key the photographer who designed the Virgin logo on the back of a napkin. Branson notes that he didnt begrudge paying his £200 bill. So Mandy’s bill for $1500 seems very generous

Dr. Sanity: SHAME, THE ARAB PSYCHE, AND ISLAM

A brilliant article comparing the western guilt culture and the Arab /Eastern shame culture.

I have often wondered why this is “Arab men eradicate shame and bolster their shaky self-esteem by imposing the shameful qualities of the dhimmi, submission and passivity, upon women. Trailing a humbled woman behind them, Arab men can walk the walk of the true macho man” Spot on I always find it acutely distasteful that you get the guys dressed like true westerners with a black cloud behind them. Need to read this article and the books. Just ordered The seven Pillars of Wisdom by my childhood hero – Lawrence of Arabia
