It’s an incredibly busy day today, but here’s some reading material that I recommend:
- Malcolm “The Tipping Point” Gladwell: The Ketchup Conundrum
Mustard now comes in dozens of varieties. Why has ketchup stayed the same?
- Chewbacca goes to Japan
Because there’s no tentacle hentai, schoolgirl uniforms or good sushi or Kashyyyk (the wookie homeworld).
- PlanetDan’s Collection of High School Senior Gradulation Photos
Back in high school, I’d have gone for the keyboard girl.
- McSweeney’s: This Bible You Sold Me is Clearly Defective and I’d Like to Return It, Please
- How Not to Buy Happiness
“…In effect, I wish to propose two different answers to the question ‘Does money buy happiness?’ Considerable evidence suggests that if weuse an increase in our incomes, as many of us do, simply to buy bigger
houses and more expensive cars, then we do not end up any happier than
before. But if we use an increase in our incomes to buy more of certain
inconspicuous goods — such as freedom from a long commute or a stressful job — then the evidence paints a very different picture.”
- The Getting Things Done Workflow Diagram
A nice chart [1 MB PDF] for those of you who are following the productivity program outlined in David Allen’s book, Getting Things Done.
One reply on “Reading Material”
the deal with ketchup is that there is so much sugar happening in every tasty spoonful that there is little room for improvement…they’ve tried spicing the stuff up a bit, but it just becomes a spicy spoonful of sugar….but it helps the medicine go down, when, as stompin tom sang, “the bottle drips all over the chips”…..
….mustard, not that’s another kettle of fish altogether….mrs anchovy, aka tuffy p has 8 or 9 jars happening in the fridge at any given time…there’s tarragon, and chardonney and whole grain, and dijon and honey and ballpark and on and on and on….by the way, guy, if you want to make a sublime salad dressing, add a teaspoon of ballpark mustard to some lemon juice with a fistful of fresh basil and some obsenely good extra-extra olive oil, and wahoooooo babe.
