The End Of Empathy →
somethingchanged:
We’re all canaries in the coal mines now… We’re harvesting our lives and putting them online. We’re addicted to gaining followers and friends (or email subscribers, as the case may be), and reading comments we get in return.

I discovered that I have a small hole in my sock. I don’t like holes in my socks. There are fairly new socks. It’s sad.

Why People Procrastinate →

People act in a timely way when given concrete tasks but dawdle when they view them in abstract terms.
As the team report in Psychological Science, in all three studies, those who were presented with concrete tasks and information responded more promptly than did those who were asked to think in an abstract way. Moreover, almost all the students who had been prompted to think in...

– Jeff Atwood (of Coding Horror) explaining his stance on strong opinions, weakly held.

Thanks,
