• Goodreads vs Twitter: The Benefits of Asymmetric Follow – O'Reilly Radar
  "I don’t mind if anyone in the world reads my reviews, and they are in fact all public on the site, but for someone to “follow” my reviews (get notified when I write them), they have to be accepted as my friend, in which case I see all their reviews as well." Asymmetric follow = RSS/Atom, basically. this is not a bad thing.

• What Makes Us Happy? – The Atlantic (June 2009)
  this leaped out at me: "the Glueck study data suggested that industriousness in childhood—as indicated by such things as whether the boys had part-time jobs, took on chores, or joined school clubs or sports teams—predicted adult mental health better than any other factor" a fascinating study/set of studies.

  like legos, but with electronics. I wonder if I could use them (eventually) to build that bike turn signal light that I dream of.
