Caring for your introvert

This Atlantic article is not even nearly new, but I like to re-read it periodically. It’s helpful in reminding me that although I may be weird, introversion isn’t inherently so. Sending it to extroverted friends is maybe a little aggressive for me, but this quote is so very good:

“I’m an introvert. You are a wonderful person and I like you. But now please shush.”

He’s one of the mad ones.
I’m generally not a poster of private things, but I’ve fallen in love and after telling him I seem to want to tell everyone. Strangers and all. So: a picture. Dreamy.

quote
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time.

Jack Kerouac.

Maybe cliché? Also true.

This, as ever, is a very good question. I’m trying to think of a way to make sure I don’t forget it. Maybe stapling it to my forehead is the answer?
(It’s an undistraction by Merlin Mann, and if you don’t know him, you really should read this.)

I love when words + design are combined in so delightful a manner. Hits all my artsy, happy, geeky buttons.

This is possibly most heinous design employed by a government body.

Ever. And that’s saying something. For real, Supreme Court? This looks like a joke, a fake website spoofing on the .gov urls. Is having your website be nearly impossible to navigate really the goal? Really?

The video for this was directly inspired by the Ryan McGinely series Summer (the photo below).

Make a rule of watching this scene at least once a month. Keeps you sharp.

YES.

This is truer than most things.

Also, good to remember that a toes is a toes and a moes is a moes.

Just the sort of thing that makes my night.

These are rad. Whatever your feelings on cigarettes, you can’t deny they have great packaging and design.

I wish there were a few more options on authors, but I’ll probably get the Hemingway, and maybe Kafka just for the packaging. Oh, I love little books.

pie. that I baked. peach and blackberry.
yummy, but the bottom crust wasn’t quite up to snuff. however, this is the first pie I’ve baked solo, so I think (hope) I’ll improve with time. the filling was delicious though!
