Quotes of the day, by William Hazlitt
Stumbled onto this today, by William Hazlitt:
“The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure very much.”
Then read up on him and discovered these as well:
“He will never have true friends who is afraid of making enemies”
and
“Hope is the best possession. None are completely wretched but those who are without hope. Few are reduced so low as that.”
Smart man!
Congrats to the little guy!
This chipmunk is one tough cookie! (You might want to turn down your sound though, the soundtrack is pretty annoying.)

The Henri Chamoux Archeophone
It is because of Mr. Chamoux’s creation that we can preserve musical history, come down to us in the form of cylinders from the good old days. I just had a listen to a few MP3 files published by the good folks at the UCSB Cylinder Preservation and Digitization Project, and I am truly thankful to Mr. Chamoux for building the machine. I am also grateful to UCSB for taking the time to preserve an important part of our heritage. There’s a Wired article on this as well, written by Rachel Metz, which is where I found out about all this wonderful stuff. (Photo courtesy of the Phonograph Makers’ Pages)
