Yes, Things Are Pretty Good
Feb. 27th, 2010 03:42 pmA few days ago, I described a camera that I would like, and not too long after that I wondered what Nikon was up to. (Canon makes a fine product, but Nikon is my brand, just like I'd rather use AVID than Final Cut. My preference for Kodak or Fuji varies by project.) And what do you know? In a few weeks, they plan to release the camera I described at the price I thought was reasonable for it.
It's almost like magic, like you can wish for anything and the universe will bring it to you. It's almost like . . . there are these invisible supply and demand curves, and somebody who follows the consumer electronics market could point to a spot on a graph and say, "a product with these specs could be sold at this price to maximize the collective satisfaction of buyers and producers." And somebody in another country could do the same thing, and . . . I'm pretty sure this is all described in The Secret.
On top of that, I had a pork and apple sandwich for lunch yesterday, and today I will eat pasta seasoned with fresh oregano. A family friend has sent antique china serving dishes in celebration of our marriage, along with stories of meals she served on them when she was our age.
