A while back Martin had posted about Presence and the need for contextual information with the ambient data aggregated. He used a picture of shoes by the front door. I wonder whether he got the idea from Mahabharat. You see, the protagonists in that Hindu epic, who are five brothers and practiced polyandry, had an arrangement to leave the shoe by the bedroom door to notify the other four. He also suggests that a dozen shoes will signify a dozen shoes. Is that a baker's dozen to signify another ancient event?
PS: Yes, people have commented about my (wierd) sense of humor.
