The Veritable To-Do List

By Joe on Tuesday, March 1st, 2011 | No Comments

Ambling through a local office supply store I pass shelf after shelf of expensive but cool things that would look good on my desk. A set of steel balls suspended in parallel by wires, allowing the transfer of energy from one end to the other. As far as I can reckon, this apparatus serves no […]

I couldn’t help notice how long it took my wife to read a book. She was immersed in a hefty 1002-page soft cover fiction. I asked if when she reads does she hear (or sound out) the words in her head. She nodded and ignored me. Proceeding to expound on the technical virtues of “finger […]
