- George Saunders' fantastic Commencement Speech regarding the value of kindness by reminded me of last year's equally inspirational speech by Neil Gaiman (above).
- Despite these inspirational pieces of advice , a worrying trend in the US about the decline of the Humanities in academics.
- But also a reminder that we can't take US statistics for granted in Canada, and maybe we could focus a little more on math in general.
- Perhaps we're focussing too much on the college years. Jennifer Senior proposes that we never really leave high-school behind.
- Language continues to evolve: a new language has been discovered in it's infancy.
- Chuck Klosterman talks about his new book I Wear the Black Hat on CBC's Q.
- In preparation for seeing Bard on the Beach this weekend, a few thoughts on Hamlet as a love story.
- And just in case you didn't have a chance to get your planned summer reading done, Nick Offerman sums up some English Literature classics for you.
