Willard Metcalf (1858-1925) Summer at Hadlyme, 1914

Daily Thoughts 05/15/2013

This morning, I read some more of The New Digital Age.  I am reading about drone warfare and the use of robots in combat.  I learned about Taco Copter which is supposed to be a hoax.  http://tacocopter.com/

I spent a little time checking social media this morning.  I shifted some more in the 900s.  I also checked the displays.

Max Barry has a new book, Lexicon which is about a secret society of poets.  Max Barry created an online forum called Nationstates.  This creates a unique audience for his books.

I spent some time working on a bibliography for the Adult Summer Reading Club.

The Board of Trustees Meeting is today at 6:30 p.m. in the Trustees Room.

I signed up to get the New York Times Books section in my email on Fridays.
