Google's mini makeover
Posted by Ms. Herr in marketing & advertising on June 12, 2008
Google’s got a new favicon. Did you notice? I think they launched it last week (or maybe the week before…can’t remember exactly when I first saw it). Very lower case. Very 2.0. ;-)

LIT 140: Tuesdays with Morrie

Tuesdays with Morrie
by Mitch Albom
» kissing…good-bye earn[s] you extra credit
» tension of opposites: life is a series of pulls back & forth. like a pull on a rubber band. which side wins? love wins. love always wins.
» the key to finding meaning in life is to stop taking out the garbage
» why are we embarrassed by silence? what comfort do we find in all the noise?
» you don’t need speech or hearing to feel [friendship]
» without love, we are birds with broken wings
» offering others what you have to give. …your time. your concern. your storytelling.
» one cannot be spared the grief of loss by grieving before loss
» in the beg of life… [&] the end of life, you need others to survive, right? but here’s the secret: in between, we need others as well.
» ”I’m bargaining with Him up there now. I’m asking Him, ‘do I get to be one of the angels?’”
» have you ever really had a teacher? 1 who saw you as a raw but precious thing, a jewel that, w/ wisdom, could be polished to a proud shine?
1 more inspired by the relevance of local events

LIT 140: The Alchemist

The Alchemist
by Paulo Coelho
1st reading
» the lake into which Narcissus drowned weeps for him, for it was in the depths of his eyes that she sees her own beauty reflected
» intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into life’s universal currents, where histories & knowledges of all peoples are connected
» people need not dear fear the unknown so long as they are capable of achieving what they need & want
» when you cannot go back, you have only to worry about the best way of moving forward. the rest is up to Allah, including the danger.
» when it is not a battle of good & evil, but for the balance of power, it will last longer than others – because Allah is on both side
2nd reading
» one is loved because one is loved. no reason is needed for loving.
