On My Radar

The crush of correspondence/news/information I receive these days has made it increasingly difficult for me to make time for long-form blog posts. But I continue to discover and  share a variety of interesting things throughout the day, and I miss my blog and the conversations that it spurs. So, I'm switching to a micro-blogging approach here for awhile. Enjoy!

Here's what crossed my radar today:

Eye Candy

The Frenchie Ladder Cuff by Verameat and the sparkly Poppy Necklace by Piper Strand.

Brain Candy

• Are overly high expectations causing younger generations to be unhappy, as this article suggests? Worth consideration.
• Why is it that SnapChat is valued at $3.5 Billion while this (in my opinion, priceless) 65 million year old dinosaur is only a meager $9 Million? [Rhetorical question.]

Inspiration

• I defy you to listen to this love story and not shed a tear.
• Check out this guy's resume.
• Read Jack London's Credo:

I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out
    in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom
    of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.

Just for Fun
