* Those who are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it, Case Study #289. I wonder if Blankfein named his summer house "Versailles..."

* I'm all aswoon over these pattern books from the V&A but have no idea what the heck I'd do with them.

* Mostly for my Dad: Make your own bitters.

* Changing the way we think about drug-resistant bacteria. Hint: it doesn't involve shaming people about antibiotics.
