Drinking a Dogfishhead Oak Aged Vanilla World Wide Stout that’s been cellared for a while. This is important.
Recomendo is one of my favorite newsletters. Full of great tips, recommendations, and ideas. They’ve made a website all of them thus far and organized into catagories. Useful.
Good tip from my friend Dave Caolo on easily unsubscribing from various email lists. A great end-of-year cleanup task.

When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer by Walt Whitman
When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer
by Walt Whitman
When I heard the learn’d astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them
When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.
