Procrastinator's Toolbox

Free books! Free books!

Thanks Virginia!  Thanks Gutenberg!  And no, they're not crapola.

Flip Out

At the British Library's Turning Pages Gallery, flip online through 3D versions of the original writings of Jane Austen, analyze Lewis Carroll's first handwritten manuscript of Alice in Wonderland (and make your own conclusions about his perviness), view the "oldest printed book" the Diamond Sutra printed in China in 868.  So fuckin cool.

- report by SMPT correspondent, Kyoung Kim, who can't emphasize enough how so fuckin cool this is.

To procrastinate, read Goethe

"Lose this day loitering, T'will be the same story tomorrow -- and the next more dilatory. Then indecision brings its own delays, and days are lost lamenting over days! Are you earnest? Seize this very minute! What you can do, or dream you can - begin it! Courage has genius, power and magic in it. Only engage, and the mind grows heated. Begin it, and the work will be completed." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe from Faust

Now ponder the irony.
