A little while ago, and it nicely demonstrates why it is that I hope to never in my life own a diamond. This includes a (hopefully) future engagement ring.

A revolution without dancing. Is hardly a revolution worth having. A future without books? I just came across this article, The Future of Reading. And I must say, I'm both incredibly intrigued and a little frightened at the same time. Now, let's start with the fright:. Might not be that far off. Truly scary!

Yes, I said. The Library of Congress has chosen to highlight certain images, but there are certain many more to enjoy - some of which you can see in the Newsweek article. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future. - George Bernard Shaw. LAC uncovers document more precious than gold! I'm glad the Olympics are over. I was sick of hearing about how poorly Canadian athletes were fairing and I was/am sick of hearing how the Canadian government should give more money to sports and Olympic aspiring athletes.
