Fun finds on the interweb

Best headline this week: Hundreds of Turtles Run Away from Georgia Farm. Apparently, last week "hundreds of turtles successfully dashed out of a Georgia turtle farm and escaped into nearby undergrowth." Can't you see those turtles dashing away now? Seriously, can it get any better than that? Oh NPR, I find more reasons to love you every day.
Documentation of The Struggle by Ben Horowitz, cofounder of the venture capital firm Andreesen Horowitz (the general partners have all pledged to give half of their lifetime VC income to charity). To quote Ben, The Struggle is when people ask you why you don't quit and you don't know the answer. The Struggle is when food loses its taste. It's a great post addressing the challenges that start up entrepreneurs come up against and processing potential successes and failures. A noble cause it is, facing up to The Struggle and one worth fighting for, in my opinion.

Have trouble slicing tomatoes? Do they end up looking like a mushed mess, seeds and innards a pulpy pile all over the cutting board, because you can't find a knife that's sharp enough? The tomato knife by Pure Komachi is worth the $7.50 if you're a tomato fiend. I know it's kind of silly to buy kitchen utensils as specific as this but it's really worth it.
I really like that tatoo! And I haven't read any of those books except for the bible!
ReplyDeletehave a great day!
That tattoo is very cool!! Love it :) lol Surprisingly, I think I could have guess at least half of those books.
ReplyDeleteI love the stuff from tattly... So cute! I've read a few of those book and have to ad it never really liked the alchemist and so many people love it... Yikes!
ReplyDeleteI love the book poster. I have never heard of this 'Think and Grow Rich' book. Hmmm. Interesting!
ReplyDeleteThat book chart is so interesting. I figured the Bible would #1, most of the others surprised me though. I'm intrigued by The Alchemist. I'll have to look that one up.
ReplyDeleteDang Chairman Mao has a lot of readers
ReplyDeleteInformation overload...my brain hurts!:P But seriously, great finds, Auntie Rooth (I'm stuck calling you that now even though I'm a few minutes older than you....ahem....)
ReplyDeleteHave read most of those books on the pic, except for three...eeep!
With the hype surrounding it, I am guessing, 50 shades of grey might find itself there..LOL! Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Unbelievable!!! I searched for a knife the last time I was in the grocery store--and came up empty. I wanted a good serrated knife for slicing tomatoes. This is perfect.
ReplyDeleteSame old story, turtles underestimated again! Turtles breeders should know they always win the race.
I'm afraid I've only read 4 of the top ten. Well, 3 and parts of a 4th. At ten I decided to read the Bible. But our version was so full of thees, thous, and shalts I got confused as to whether I was supposed to do or not do things. I haven't circled back to it yet. :)
Love that tattoo. And how interesting to see what the most read books are.
ReplyDeleteHaha, your posts always make me laugh. And yes, that infograph needs to be made into a print ... but Twilight? Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteLoved the infographic. The bit on The Struggle was interesting too . . . whether or not it's worth it, to me, totally depends on the day! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the most read books graph! Such a fun illustration!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend - thanks for visiting my blog!
i've read them all, minus the 2nd book. I've only referred to it!
ReplyDeleteThat tomato knife is a great find! Our proximity to Jersey (known for the best tomatoes) means we slice a bunch of them a week, so that would be super helpful! It's so sad that the only books on that list I've read are Harry Potter and the Twilight Saga. Wow.
ReplyDeleteLove the book infographic, what a fun find!
ReplyDeleteThat book infographic is cool. I've only read... 5 of the ten.
ReplyDeleteI attempted to read LOtR, but I just couldn't take it. I HATED them, which is kinda weird, because I really liked The Hobbit.
Hello! Great blog! The last post is very interesting and beautiful! Let's follow each other, if you agree, then let me know!)))
ReplyDeleteThat graphic is super cool. I'm actually surprised that Harry Potter beat out Lord of the Rings.... But it makes sense. Headed to check out tattly, it sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteI know I must have said it here before: I am not a reader. Having said that, I've read 3-4 of those books. Now I feel better about myself :-) so thanks for this post!
ReplyDeletethe book info is quite interesting!
ReplyDeleteI think a tomato knife is absolutely essential. And I feel a little sick to my stomach that more people have read Twilight than the Diary of Anne Frank. Or Gone with the Wind, for that matter.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see the graph! I've read all, I am an avid reader :) xo
ReplyDeleteThe Young Bridget Jones
Nice to see The Alchemist on the list (which I love). Umm, also (I admit) Harry Potter.
ReplyDeleteMau tse tung! I haven't heard that name in a while. I didn't know there is a book about the quotes - I gotta check it out.
