I've been reading a lot of productivity blogs...

Today 43 Folders caught me:

No Tourists, Please

We hope very much that you find things here that will help you do and make the things that matter to you, but 43 Folders is no replacement for actual work. Please do not use 43 Folders as an excuse to procrastinate. That would be so ironically unwholesome as to stagger the mind.

Sigh...

I'm sitting in Sanders right now as my English prof this semester, Matthew Kaiser, puts up pictures of animals. He just put up a picture of his kitten: "I just had to give a shout out to my kitten"

He is fabulous. Unfortunately I don't think he was granted tenure so he might be leaving next year. While Google stalking him just now I came across an interview my friend conducted with him earlier in the year. Here are the highlights.

7.

FM: Complete this sentence: Sex at Harvard...

MK: (Laughs) That’s one sentence that is left incomplete.



8.

FM: Word on the street is that you are a pretty snappy dresser. Say you’re having a one-on-one meeting with President Drew G. Faust. What would you wear?

MK: I would wear a dark blue suit, a vibrant tie and French cuffs.



9.

FM: And what would you say?

MK: I wouldn’t say anything, because what she’s experiencing right now is more profound and compelling than what I’m experiencing. I would sit and listen to what she had to tell me, and then I’d ask for a raise.



10.

FM: Now say you’re having a one-on-one meeting with Oscar Wilde. You know, theoretically. Would you be wearing the same ensemble?

MK: I would probably wear a slightly tighter version.



11.

FM: And what would you say?

MK: Again, Oscar Wilde was such an amazing speaker. I think I would just listen to him. I wouldn’t ask him for a raise, though.
