Cats, good books, AI, and religious walking in the city of Sofia
I forgot my office keys today, so I worked for a few hours from a nearby shop and had a cookie there. We have a traditional recipe for cookies called Cat’s Tongue – essentially flower, sugar, butter, and vanilla, prepared in a shape that reminds a tongue. To celebrate that moment, here’s a photo of one of the local cats, showing the real deal.
A cat family near St. Anna hospital. I think the big orange cat is the mom, which is an unusual sight. Two-color orange cats are usually male.
My daily walk was short. I captured only a few photos.
This is a palindrome sculpture in Sofia Tech Park, where I briefly visited OpenFest. I somehow missed the meaning of the sculpture the last few times I walked past it. I think it’s pretty cool, although I wish it was painted and not with this rusty color. I suspect the sculptures in the park have a shared meaning, like things are not what they look. There are other elements nearby with a clear dual meaning.
For example, this is either a violoncello, or a piece of metal that fell off, depending on the point of view. I wasn’t sure which one so went back and checked the welds – clearly welded this way, very solid sheet of steel, not broken and dented.
And and out-of-focus animal, probably a squirrel.
It rained today and making 10k steps wasn’t easy. However, despite the dark and grey weather, the city looked colorful and well, for the brave ones, looking.
Walking around in Sofia today, I noticed that our sidewalks are, in fact, maybe not as perfect as I remembered them while abroad.
This is a sidewalk from Sofia:
And one from a reference city, which is not Sofia:
Which one would you prefer?
