Product Placement
My friend Anna, who works in the record industry, told me recently that hard economic times are traditionally thought to be good for record labels, because during recessions when people can’t buy large items, they indulge more in small ones, like records and CDs.

Cute Overload Gone Wild
New blog alert: The indomitable Andrew Bleiman of ScienceBlogs’ own Zooilogix, aka the wittiest wildlife blog of all timez, has started a diabolical new project.

The young lady emerges from the door to her building, in her fall jacket, laptop bag clapping against one thigh, teacher-bag clapping against the other, and in her hands she’s balancing [...]
Enjoyed This Over Breakfast Yesterday:
“Late Bloomers,” by Malcom Gladwell, in the current New Yorker. It’s about creative process, contrasting precocious wunderkind geniuses (like Picasso) with late-blooming masters of craft (like Cézanne).
