Who doesn’t love the smell of coffee and fonts in the morning?
What better to embrace the weekend?
What better to embrace the weekend, than with Shostakovich, String Quartet #6 in G. The passacaglia is beautiful.

Early to work as the sun rises, bring your work gloves
Dear hipsters, Barnes & Noble has your vinyl
Twenty bucks does not go as far as it used to

Poetry at its best is the language your soul would speak if you could teach your soul to speak.

My exasperation about the cowardly evasiveness of our mainstream press drives me to think that if people in general knew more about history they’d be more likely to demand more honorable governments.

You can walk the same path every day—most days it’s not especially memorable—but every now and then something happens that’s incredibly memorable.

The Origin of Titles
It is amusing that modern readers have been spared the lengthy title of the 1859 first edition:
ON THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES.
OR THE PRESERVATION OF FAVOURED RACES IN THE STRUGGLE FOR LIFE.

British scientists have found scores of fossils the great evolutionary theorist Charles Darwin and his peers collected but that had been lost for more than 150 years (via libraryland)
ROWE (Results Only Work Environment)
Kelly and Moen—who published their work this week in The Journal of Health and Social Behavior—found that employees who switched to ROWE took better care of themselves. Not only did they get an extra 52 minutes of sleep before workdays on average, they were also less likely to feel obligated to work when sick and more likely to see a doctor when they needed to. And the turnover rate among employees that switched to ROWE was only 6%, compared to 11% with the control group. In addition, their increased sense of schedule control and reduced work-family conflict led to increased self-reported energy levels and decreased psychological distress.
