Quote of the Day:
Such was the effect of this simple piece of crape, that more than one woman of delicate nerves was forced to leave the meeting-house. Yet perhaps the pale-faced congregation was almost as fearful a sight to the minister, as his black veil to them.
--- Nathaniel Hawthorne, "The Minister's Black Veil", 1836.

Woo hoo! The complete works of Nathaniel Hawthorne online!
This is a link to a nice page about a rare book exhibit that was at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee Library.
Random University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire student blog of the day: Lost.
Here's a nice story about life in Amerika today. Read the second story down, "More From Miami" by Dave Lippman.
I'm still not sure what this is, but I'm intrigued. I don't know what exactly a "degree confluence" is, and I forgot what an integer was about 2.3 seconds after I took an Algebra exam back in 1986.
Bonus Quote of the Day:
The attack had gone across the field, been held up by machine-gun fire from the sunken road and from the group of farm houses, encountered no resistance in the town, and reached the bank of the river. Coming along the road on a bicycle, getting off to push the machine when the surface of the road became too broken, Nicholas Adams saw what had happened by the position of the dead.
--- Ernest Hemingway, "A Way You'll Never Be," 1933.
