Hot: This first card was challenging. Back on the 13th, when I first set down my intentions for this project, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do. I spent the next ten days reading things, assimilating concepts, arguing with myself, and cutting up magazines with the thought of [...]
Hot: First up on this WTK is the opposite of wealth. That term is “illth” and was coined by John Ruskin as a way of giving simple voice to the concept of possessing damage, discontent, or general ill health (physically, economically, spiritually, etc).

Hot: And The Telegraph is hung up on the fact that he surfs. Well okay, perhaps hung up on it is going a bit far. Still, as headlines go, it’s pretty misleading. A. Garrett Lisi seems like a really interesting person. I mean, just check out his resume! He’s got: a PhD in Physics he’s [...]
Hot: Happy Monday! :D It finally snowed here in a way that stuck to the ground. I can’t say I’m thrilled but I’m not disappointed either. It means it’s nice and quiet in the office here today, and it gives me plenty of time to share these tidbits with you and still get a ton [...]
