In this current harsh world, let's warm a few hearts remembering the events of 7-8 March 1991, when the 90,000 people of Brindisi woke up to find 25,000 Albanians roaming the streets of their town. For perspective, that's roughly equivalent to 25k people suddenly landing in Hastings [Thread] >> 1

This is a heartwarming story. I passed through Brindisi as a college student at that time and remember that there were a LOT of Albanians at the train station. I didn’t know about the grassroots humanitarian response of the city, great leadership and generosity.

In middle school I wrote a paper about Hubble that earned me a trip to Huntsville to visit the Space Center. This was years before it finally launched. I’ve always been fond of that space telescope!

Happy 35th Birthday Hubble! What a great time to remember how a small investment in science can inspire a generation. More here: science.nasa.gov/mission/hubb...

Watching an NFL game on what began as a bookstore website via my smart TV.

As a former early 90s indie book store associate (hello Booksellers of Cleveland Heights!) I've not loved B&N but I'm intrigued with the new CEO focusing them on books and people who read them (!) and stores trying localized tactics on a shoestring, branding be damned. Hope it works out.

Barnes & Noble Sets Itself Free

As the bookstore chain mounts a comeback, it’s breaking a cardinal rule of corporate branding and store design: consistency.
