There is the movie about two convicts on a runaway train. Its titled, appropriately, Runaway Train. The older convict tells the younger convict, "I'll tell you what you gonna do. You gonna get a job. That's what you gonna do. You're gonna get a little job. Some job a convict can get, like scraping off trays in a cafeteria. Or cleaning out toilets. And you're gonna hold onto that job like gold. Because it is gold. Let me tell you, Jack, that is gold."

Yes, that job is gold, and you should keep your job, hold onto it as long as you can.		 We come across a lot if junk in our lives. So often we buy some new product or software or service, and it seems it has been crafted by passive-aggressive narcissist sociopaths, intent on punishing the world for teasing them in Junior High.

So when I find something that truly delights me,that stands out from the rest, I jot down a note and try to write it up here. These are a few things I have found worth keeping.
