A TV Set Paradox

By -
My kei car fools everybody about the size of its cargo compartment. Once the three of us, my wife, son and I, picked up a TV set from friends, quite a fair-sized 21'' device in a box. The son inspected the box and remarked: “It must be put on the roof bars.” He was somewhere else when I was loading the TV set - not onto the bars but into the luggage section. Time to leave, he comes in and sees that there's nothing on the roof. “Uh-oh, we forgot the thing!” “Dad'd put it in the luggage compartment,” mom explains. “Nuh-uh, it's big, it won't never fit inside.” “Yes it's big but the car's bigger so it did.” He puts up with the fact, gets into the car, clicks the belt buckle and draws the line below: “The TV set is not on the roof, it's inside the car. The car’s GROWN BIGGER.”

Cat the Manipulator

Pets and children are small and don't have the power, an adult's privilege. Yet, both are skilled manipulators thanks to well-developed intuition. My cat Shakira uses the family members to get what she wants. The other day she was messing about with my ankles demanding her supper. But I was busy and didn't pay attention. Then, she sat right in the middle of the gateway leading to the kitchen, the bathroom and the toilet. She was sitting there a few yards away from me quietly and patiently. It was brilliant. Soon, my wife stumbled upon her and immediately shared her surprise with me: "Watch the cat! Why is she sitting here?" Chalk up a point to the pet. But I was busy still. After waiting a little longer, the cat walked to the bathroom door and sat in front of it, her tail and back to the door. That was my son who called out: "Look, the cat’s a bathroom guardian!" Two points. I capitulated and fed the cat ahead of other work. Such ingenuity just has to be...

Why writing tool ApolloPad didn't suit me

I'm trying to find a writing tool more convenient than a usual text processor for a writer. A wide choice of software is offered in the market, but many writers had attempted and got back to Microsoft Word and its alternatives. My case with ApolloPad is one of the kind. After an initial brief study of about 15 programs and online tools, I had sorted out four of them to give a try in real work. Apollo was one of these four. After two hours of using it, I decided to quit. So, what is ApolloPad, why it tempted me, and what had gone wrong? Its developer Dave Child describes ApolloPad as a „distraction-free writing environment for budding authors“. I can add that it works online, with well-known pros and cons of online tools. ApolloPad is not a finished piece of work, it runs as a beta version. Else, it is free to use – the main advantage before Scrivener. The developer promises that „you will be able to extract your work quickly and without a fee after the beta“. The „after“ is a...
