Etymology of the day: ‘book’ comes from an ancient root shared by ‘beech’, a wood that people used for engraving inscriptions. ‘Paper’ comes from ‘papyrus’, and ‘volume’ is from the Latin for a ‘roll’ of parchment.

As the holiday period comes to an end, we lament not being able to enjoy any more strange Victorian Christmas cards.
Fortunately, there is always New Year.

One thing that is true for me is that I've always been an attention hog, so social media in its various formats has rarely been a burden to me; I think it's fun, and the "building the brand" part comes as a side benefit. This is, however, not the same for everyone.

When you set up an account and Discover tells you it knows what you like, it’s unsettling.
Friend, I don’t know what I like, please explain it to me.
