Friday Quick Notes
Here's an Indiegogo worth supporting, at least by me, as "Kathy Goes to Haiti" is one of my favorite stories:KATHY GOES TO HAITI is a feature film, which started as a narrative short set in Haiti, then transformed into a documentary after the death of the Co-Director.
I was asked for an Oprahesque "A-ha!" moment when it came to writing. Having no idea what an a-ha moment is even after it was explained to me four times, I just made fun of people:
Hellooooo Bloomberg Business Week:

And now, the quote of the day: "Calm! Calm! Calm! We are neither coppers no robbers, Monty: we only want to know for the sake of knowing...to follow knowledge like a sinking star beyond the utmost bounds of human thought...we want to know, Monty. It is as simple as that. What the hell sis Leeuwenhoek want when we poked his home-made microscope at a drop of dirty water? Simple to know. We are made that way, you see."—from The Secret Masters by Gerald Kersh.
Finally, and speaking of wanting to know, here is the worst thing I've seen on the Internet in a while. It's not a joke, it's not funny, it's just a testament to human stupidity and self-obsession. It's the sort of thing I share because I foolishly found and read it.
