Five for Friday 141

Happy Friday,

I hope this Friday finds you well. Be sure to tell the ones you love how you feel about them this weekend, even if it’s as simple, as, “I love you and I’m so grateful you’re in my life.” Veteran’s Day is also this weekend, providing another reminder of just how indebted we are to the heroes among us. I’m sure we could each benefit from taking a moment to reflect on the amazing people in our lives.

This weekend’s links include:

This interview with Robert Caro on the Art of the Biography.

The distressing news that Americans are getting less sleep.

An interesting paradox: how tourism affects the lands which are tourist destinations.

Is it possible to laugh and cringe simultaneously? Because that’s what I’m doing. The Kitchen Nightmare escape room. (occasional strong language warning)

And finally, bits of software which have changed our world.

Currently Reading: Fear and Trembling by Soren Kierkegaard

Have a beautiful weekend!
