A blog of aggregated miscellanea and things I like uncovered from my daily travails. I'm @jacobjay, a peripatetic designer/developer of British persuasion, having interests in gastronomy, fashion, technology, interiors and sustainability. I'm currently living between New Delhi and France, working on a Lua web platform and e-commerce. I dig Macs, mountain biking and smelly cheese.
“ While Oak trees are propagated by squirrels burying acorns, when the squirrel population gets too large, most of the acorns are eaten.

The next year, after many squirrels have starved, the trees resume their normal production. ”
