Down with advertising!

by Edward Atkinson on July 10, 2008

Do you like advertisements? I can’t say that I’m a fan. They are invasive, cause clutter, and more often than not unhelpful.
“But wait!” the crowd shouts. “You’ve got them on Mind Sprocket.”
Ah ha, good eye! That is a sad fact indeed. Unfortunately, like everything and everybody, we have bills to pay. For our first couple […]

Somewhere along the way, we figured out that normal is just a setting on the dryer. –Anne Lamott in Bird by Bird
Is there a single event in your life where you can say you asked “What does normal even mean?” or finally accepted something about yourself because you realized that normal isn’t really […]

Happy Monday!

by Jacqueline Johnson on June 9, 2008

I know you’re excited to be back into your work routine, right? I can already hear the crowd of grumbling…
The getting up early, plenty of urgent e-mails…shall I continue?
Okay, let’s try happier thoughts, then. After all, it is Monday.
Inhale.

A Wonderful Something Lurks in the Shadows…

by Edward Atkinson on May 13, 2008

The Mind Sprocket editorial staff is officially at full steam. We’ve tried to slow down, but we can’t. The idea we hit upon is infectious, and we can’t get away from it. We’re trying to contain ourselves, and we may succeed for a few more weeks.
But be on the look out.
Something big, […]

When Literature Hugs Back

by Jacqueline Johnson on March 12, 2008

I keep scanning my bookshelf for a choice book. I’m not sure for what I’m looking, but I do know that I can’t just read anything at this particular moment. I want to read, but not just anything. A book can’t just happen to me. I want to meet a character at […]
