Travel through time

"Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White," by Perez Prado, was the top Billboard single for the year 1955. Sing along--this is what the pre-9/11 world felt like.

Habits

What is a habit?
A habit is something you do everyday. Anything can be a habit. Anything you take time for everyday becomes as natural as walking and talking.

Instead of "Wow, when was the last time I drank tea?"
It's "What kind of tea am I having today?"

Turn your hobbies into habits. Then look back at the end of this semester and see how far you've come.

It is what we all have been waiting for: Romney is an Autobot sent into the future from 1894! Hillary wins NH because of her "human side" and ursine hat fetishes!

The Philosopher's Bone




Walls are so comforting. We build physical walls around those we want to protect and those we want to imprison. We construct metaphorical walls around ideologies and theories and call them sacrosanct. But are walls really so comforting? Does enclosing an idea or a people completely insulate it from the tyranny of the majority? Or is it a recognition of weakness in the face of a brutal environment that pushes the threat of death down our throats every day?

Obama and Huckabee have renewed the vitality of their campaigns after Iowa. No matter who wins, will anyone really be able to enact "change" in a system that obsequiously neglects its own futility?

“I felt obliged to record this lot but I think what I really ought to do is put them onto a timeline or something, maybe a big floaty map thing. An 'obsolescence map', a visual way of tracking the arrival and the departure of media and computing technologies. Once adopted they feel so solid and permanent but they're really so ephemeral and we're losing them fast. Should we be preserving these second-order technologies? Peripherals, buses, storage, printing, input, output? Will we miss them in forty or fifty years time if we don't?”
