I like this Clay Shirkey piece about the time sink that is television:

I came home from work at a decent time today. As I entered the flat, I smelled the Good Smell of yummy food cooking. I hung up my dry cleaning, hung my coat on the hook, swooped into the kitchen with bags of commissary goods, and greeted my family.

Our friends gave us a traditional Austrian/German New Year’s Eve activity: Bleigießen.
The kit includes a long-handled spoon and several lead figures. One lights a candle, melts each lead figure in the spoon, then drops the molten lead into a bucket of cold water. The resultant shapes are said to be symbolic of your fortune in [...]

In the meantime, I found a really easy way to help. You can go to Amazon [...]
I’m not complaining, so don’t even go there, but I think it’s pretty telling that all is on a very even keel in my life when I had the following dream:
I was walking through the upstairs portion of my house, toward the bathroom, when I got a little-boy-on-Christams vibe. Could it be? I [...]
