The […]

http://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Morning-Person I sincerely hope the “new economy” sorts out backwards thinking like traditional work hours while it’s readjusting the capitalist system. I’m far more capable of producing good work on the hours that suit me, rather than those dictated by my employers’ invisible timeclocks. Added bonus to a later start: Skipping rush hour both ways!

CBC News: Reports from abroad: Neil Macdonald
http://www.cbc.ca/news/reportsfromabroad/macdonald/20080325.html More Neil MacDonald – expect a lot of this, as I’ve been trolling through his archive at the CBC.
