@agazdecki @SamuelHulick That image is credit Samuel. But since she’s not here to give herself credit, I’m gonna chime w/ the fact that the fireflower framing was coined by the amazing Kathy Sierra (who disappeared off the web some time ago). Kathy authored “Badass: Making Users Awesome”, a must read. https://t.co/dK0Aab3GIT

@micsolana Also, because I could do homework at home, when I wanted, how I wanted, in whatever order I wanted, I enjoyed it more and it was a better training ground for real work than time at school.

I have a rare copy of "Capitalism and Freedom" signed by its author Milton Friedman. I've decided I'm going to sell it off in tiny pieces so people can vote on where to place it on my bookshelf. I will keep the book but you get to influence where it goes. Who's in?!

@DanielleMorrill Why Buddhism is True: The Science & Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment, by Robert Wright. I listened to it on audiobook, which I really enjoyed. I’m not sure. I would probably want to dive into the sacred texts he cites just to learn more.
