I do not fear death

A wonderful essay on dying by Roger Ebert, who passed away.

Great essay

Just read a great essay, thanks to Twitter.  (Still haven't read Wolf Hall yet...) 

Thinking on how to live with social media.  How to maximize utility while minimizing time suckage.

This essay brought tears to my eyes.  My first Zadie Smith.  I have been interested in reading her for years, now more so.

Morning wonderful

I am smiling because, of course, the morning after I set an intention, a reason for not going offline comes to rest so beautifully in my lap.  Read this lovely piece written by a friend.

Peace and love.

P.S.  I haven't heard any peeps about Google bringing Reader back.  I may delete the Shared Items from the blog one of these days...it sits as a sad reminder of what once was...

Lovely

Ahhh...  What a wonderful way to start the day.  With a pause for a delicious drink for the mind and soul.
