New York Public Library 1915 Penny Postcard

Daily Thoughts 02/05/2013

This morning I read some more of Mastermind.  Maria Konnikova is describing different ways of paying attention.  She describes the differences between Watson and Holmes way of thinking.  She is focusing on how people choose to remember things.

This morning, I checked the Twitter and Facebook accounts for the library.  I also checked the displays and gift books.  I am doing some more work on the 900s.  Some of it is focused on shifting books to the mezzanine.

The latest Publishers Weekly and Times Literary Supplement have come in for me to read.
