Kurt Vonnegut motivational posters. One of these days I’ll get around to reading something of his.
Pencil art – but not the way you think.
This article on hospice care is a hard article to read, but worth it.
A practical plan for when you feel overwhelmed is exactly what it says it is. Turns out I’ve been using most of these for years without having read them in a blog, but the bit about doing 15 minutes of fast things, followed by 35 minutes of something hard, is worth giving a try I suspect.
An awesome photo of a really bad shot by Tiger Woods.
Grover does Old Spice Guy.
Awesome use of negative space in IBM “Outcomes” campaign
