valarltdI worked 12 hours and rode for 7 yesterday. It was a wash on the net front.
Facts and Stuff. On why people don't want MORE job responsibility.
~~~
The Great American Speed-up. Why is unemployment still high while corporate profits are up 22% over last year?
~~~
On using twitter and your blog to the best advantage.
~~~
Scary Radioactive consumer products. Some feel of "Oh our silly ancestors" to the article. Until you remember that Fermi and the scientist working on nuclear reactors used to put bits of uranium in their mouths to make their teeth glow in the dark room.
~~~
Where to keep your food so it will last.
~~~
Money is not sufficient to buy happiness, but it is necessary in order to avoid unhappiness. Slacktivist is usually about a smart man saying smart things.
~~~
La Maupin, a "bisexual sword-wielding genderqueer coquette" who disguised herself as a man, and broke her girlfriend out of a nunnery by putting a dead nun in her bed and torching the whole place. Amazing.
~~~
Grenada is sinking. Rising sea levels threaten the island.
~~~
Vid of the day. Because this is my favorite Shakespeare, and I think Nathan Fillion will fill Michael Keaton's shoes well.

I nearly had a nervous breakdown at my last full-time job. By the time I left, I was doing the work of three people. I can only imagine how much worse the pressure is on young people today, graduating college with the equivalent of a mortgage already hanging over their heads.
