The Charitable-industrial complex
The Buffett family, despite their wealth and fame, are truly the most humanistic, and humble of people.
I am constantly impressed and inspired by their work and their words.
This article by Warren Buffett's son, Peter Buffett is another great example.

Tea in Literature
An old article, but a great one. Even on a dreary morning, in summer, tea has the power to both soothe and awaken.
Tea and tea time are favorite subjects in literature- as a setting, a social construct, an amelioration, or an elixir.
I found this article a particularly pleasant trip down memory lane, and a nerdy challenge. How many more can you think of?
