Minimal Output : James Shelley:
It seems that we have a lot to say about minimalism these days.
…and leaves his readers with Solomon’s wisdom.
Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue. —Proverbs 17:28
N.B. - Don’t you think Solomon would have loved Twitter?

The Weight of a Good Notebook « The Bygone Bureau:
I’m probably not too different from the other notebook snobs that you’ve known and mocked over the years. My trouble is that I can never bring myself to write in my notebooks.
This little eccentricity has never stopped me from buying notebooks; there’s a shelf on my second-best bookcase bowing under their weight as I type this.
This hilarious article may be so funny to me because it hits so close to home. I have had my share of pretty notebooks that remained empty because if I was going to mar those pages with ink it needed to be something worth remembering, which so is not the case.
If you buy a notebook, write in it. Scribble away. Doodle in the margins. Go wild! I promise you won’t regret it, and I promise you will regret it if you don’t.
Hours of audio footage and transcripts from discussions with William Faulkner have been published online by the University of Virginia where the author was a writer in residence in 1957. The university also maintains Faulkner’s manuscripts and private papers in its special collections.
The site is worthy of investigation for literature fans, especially those fans who are most interested writing from the South. I first learned about the site in an email from the magazine Garden & Gun.
I found The New Republic after following a link to an article about writers and publishing on the magazine’s website.
The content not only seems to be excellent, the design of the site is exquisite with a clean layout and nice typography. Well done and well worth checking out.
