Daw Aung San Suu Kyi visits Thailand
Want to see more photos of Suu Kyi’s visit? Check out pictures tagged with #assk and #suukyi
Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi left Myanmar for the first time in 24 years yesterday when she took a surprise visit to Thailand. Local Instagrammers captured some stunning images of “Mother Suu” addressing a crowd of Burmese migrant workers in the gritty town of Mahachai earlier today. More than two million Burmese workers are estimated to live in Thailand.
In 1990, Suu Kyi’s party won a landslide election but was denied power by the military junta that had ruled the country since 1962. She was then put under house arrest, and was only released 20 years later in November 2010. She ran for office again in 2012, and she now serves in a Parliament that remains controlled by the military-backed ruling party.

Out of these apps, I use Paper and Remarks the most; they are usually on my homescreen whereas the others are relegated to page 3.
- Paper
- Pro: makes writing look much nicer; all around very polished; I generally use it for sketching, doodling, brainstorming, and making rough diagrams
- Con: still lacks many features; page-turning gestures can be annoying; can’t reorganize pages in a notebook, can’t export an entire notebook
- Remarks
- Pro: this app is not really in the same category as the rest since it’s a full-featured PDF management/annotation app (can also sync with Dropbox)
- Con: multi-touch zooming/panning not very responsive
- Noteshelf
- Pro: feature-rich (nice zooming and wrist-protection, with automatic line-advancement), polished
- Con: can’t really think of one, but I still don’t use it regularly
- Penultimate
- Pro: magic wrist-protection
- Con: no zoom
- Bamboo Paper
- Pro: nice selection of colours
- Con: no zoom, no wrist-protection (hence the crooked writing)
- Paper

"We’re keenly aware that when we develop and make something and bring it to market that it really does speak to a set of values. And what preoccupies us is that sense of care, and what our products will not speak to is a schedule, what our products will not speak to is trying to respond to some corporate or competitive agenda. We’re very genuinely designing the best products that we can for people."
Don’t worry about what the competition is doing. Worry about what you’re doing. That’s how you do the best work.

"Let me tell you about longing.
Let me presume that I have something
new to say about it, that this room,
naked, its walls pining for clocks,
has something new to say
about absence. Somewhere
the crunch of an apple, fading
sunflowers on a quilt, a window
looking out to a landscape
with a single tree. And you
sitting under it. Let go,
said you to me in a dream,
but by the time the wind
carried your voice to me,
I was already walking through
the yawning door, towards
the small, necessary sadnesses
of waking. I wish
I could hold you now,
but that is a line that has
no place in a poem, like the swollen
sheen of the moon tonight,
or the word absence, or you,
or longing. Let me tell you about
longing. In a distant country
two lovers are on a bench, and pigeons,
unafraid, are perching beside them.
She places a hand on his knee
and says, say to me
the truest thing you can.
I am closing my eyes now.
You are far away."Mikael de Lara Co, On the Necessity of Sadness (via atomiclanterns)
