Blogging Productivity















Many fans have asked what inspires my productivity. For some reason, I've encountered surprise on the part of humans about my prodigious output on such a wide variety of topics: a dog's life, the Roushanzamirs & their family and friends, literature of numerous genres, global artifacts, scholarly research, and so forth.

While I can not provide an unfailing recipe to be followed step-by-step, this photo supplies some clues.

Acquire a new, light-weight computer & a very fast internet connection: for resources.

Surround yourself with many books, papers, posters, and other media [music, television, films]: for inspiration.

Dress according to mood, certainly casual if you like, but full evening dress if such strikes your fancy.

Relfect on your life's experiences, the successes, the failures, the pleasures & pains, the beautiful and the ugly: the sum of phenomena influencing who you are today.

And finally: sip a martini. I recommend Svedka Vodka [no vermouth] shaken til icy cold, garnished with a twist of lime and served in an extravagant martini glass.
