ventaThings I saw on my way to work this morning...
A tall, thin lady in a red woolly hat waving her arms about in wild gesticulations as she talked into her mobile phone.
A man with very dark hair and a thick grey coat, wedged tightly into a seat on a crowded train, looking at a page of illuminated manuscipt; it was in black and white, displayed on a Kindle.
A younger guy staring intently at his iPhone as Arabic text scrolled across the screen from right to left. Each section ended with "2009" before one number was displayed repeatedly across the screen. I first spotted 76; around 84 there were a few more sentences of text before he closed the app.
A man in a red v-necked jumper with a white Sony netbook on his lap. It was hooked up to a sleek, white dongle with red lights. In one hand he held a Blackberry, and with the other he typed data from it into his netbook.
