Interesting Stuff on the Internet (01/08/2012)
Thought for the Week

in memory of nina reiser
  • This is sad.

  • This is sadder. Remember when we believed that "the system" would keep us safe? Yeah, not so much.

  • But perhaps this is the saddest of all. We spend too much time at work to waste that time.
