How is everybody doing this weekend? Once again I wish the weekend would last a few days longer, so I could catch up with all the things I don’t get to do with my 10+ hours per day working schedule.

On world affairs: Nobel Peace Prize Fails to Pacify Interesting collection of social media responses to the news. I personally am among those who are disappointed that…
