The One Thing I Hate Hearing Most at Work …
There are times when I spend a lot of time helping a customer find a book and we finally locate it in the store and I hand it to them. They look it over, hand it back and say, “I’ll buy it from Amazon.”
I know I should not be thinking this but what runs through my mind is: I hope it gets lost in the mail.

Geek Craft of the Day: Star Trek Children’s Book. My favorite part is the “Make Picard human again” page.
Omg… this might be the cutest book about Star Trek ever.
Make it so.

This was what was keeping me awake at night. This fragmentation. Because it’s the same problem everywhere. It’s like the internet, or cable TV- there’s never any center, there’s no communal agreement, there’s just a trillion little bits of distracting noise. We can never sit down and have any kind of sustained conversation, it’s all just cheap trash and shitty developments. All the real things, the authentic things, the honest things are dying off. Intellectually and culturally, we just bounce around the room like random billiard balls, reacting to the latest random stimuli.
