A meeting commonly blows at least half a day, by breaking up a morning or afternoon. But in addition there’s sometimes a cascading effect. If I know the afternoon is going to be broken up, I’m slightly less likely to start something ambitious in the morning. I know this may sound oversensitive, but if you’re a maker, think of your own case. Don’t your spirits rise at the thought of having an entire day free to work, with no appointments at all?</blockquote> <p>(via <a href="http://daringfireball.net/">DF</a>)</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Widepipeorg/~4/eOJHx8NTfKo" height="1" width="1"/>http://widepipe.org/post/151933401http://widepipe.org/post/151933401Wed, 29 Jul 2009 21:14:27 -0400<img src="http://18.media.tumblr.com/bBdmsNBu3qgwcztvw5sfNU5co1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.fixpert.com/artwork/cyclist-illustration-boneshaker-almanac/">Illustration by Sally over at Fixpert</a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Widepipeorg/~4/J6E_D1352Yc" height="1" width="1"/>http://widepipe.org/post/151531333http://widepipe.org/post/151531333Wed, 29 Jul 2009 08:00:00 -0400<img src="http://17.media.tumblr.com/bBdmsNBu3qgvrg2eLW5mr9YMo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://postsecret.blogspot.com/">PostSecret - 7/26/2009</a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Widepipeorg/~4/r5ZJoLZV-9U" height="1" width="1"/>http://widepipe.org/post/151207538http://widepipe.org/post/151207538Tue, 28 Jul 2009 20:45:48 -0400<p><a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/17/amazoncom-plays-big-brother-with-a-famous-e-book/?ref=technology">Amazon.com Plays Big Brother With Famous E-Books</a></p> <blockquote>This morning, hundreds of Amazon Kindle owners awoke to discover that books by a certain famous author had mysteriously disappeared from their e-book readers.
