Interesting note on Portside about non-union workers’ groups organizing around non-workplace economic issues: The new group will not seek to negotiate contracts as unions do, but its leaders…

“Debt is an opportunity cost. A cost that you trade for one of the most valuable things in your life, time.” – Tammy Strobel
Thought-provoking post by David Raptitude. The ones below either really hit home or I think (but don’t yet know) are, as the author calls them, ‘things I know…

So you like time away from computers. Do you do all of your sketching and writing on paper? Paper, and not in the studio. I’ll go to a…
First a caveat. I’ve gone 2 weeks without a Coke — but I’ve substituted many Lemonades and sweet teas. I don’t have too big a problem with this…
