Portrait of Dmitri Mendeleev, Ilya Repin, 1885

Daily Thoughts 06/09/2016

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I rested on the way to work today.

I checked the displays and the gift books this morning.  I wrote my monthly report covering May today.  I also updated a few things for adult summer reading.

I am planning on doing the book, Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes by Marie Konnikova for a book club in July.

I did a little bit of weeding today.  I also did a little bit of preparation for my weekly order on Saturday.

On the way home, I read some more of The Industries of the Future by Alec Ross.  I am reading about small monetary transactions over mobile phones as well as how the bitcoin blockchain system works.
