Protons are colliding under the Alps and making small big bangs! Read more in this New York Times article that explains it.

Why You Can’t Work at Work. "With its constant commotion, unnecessary meetings, and infuriating wastes of time, the modern workplace optimizes interruptions and makes us all work longer, less focused hours." So true.  Here is a video with Jason Fried to watch if you like. I agree with so much of this.  I went to a talk about how to deal with too much e-mail last week, and will blog about it soon.  Work is becoming chopped liver-time, not a place to think and make things.  Guess why I try to work at home one day a week just to get peace and quiet and get writing done? And I don't even have a manager. But I get sometimes 100 e-mails in a day.

Strychnine, anyone?  I want to read this book.

And then just for fun...

Apropos coffee whitener... (see below)

I believe the coffee just ground here at home for tomorrow morning is called Dead Mans Reach or something like that :). And it is never decaffeinated. (But I drink tea in the mornings, coffee is for the people that get up an hour earlier...)

Having fun with cats

Just for your laughs.... More serious stuff will be posted another time :)

Theme of the Day: Bacon

Why is bacon so good? And it is really good, in 'lagom' doses! And not only humans like bacon.
I wonder if there is a stamp with bacon for our Stamp of the Day series, I have to go out and look on the internet. But first, Saturday work around the house and errands... (PS. The LOLcats are from here).
