Thing #16
This is an older video, but with the rebooting of 'Cosmos' (now with Neil deGrasse Tyson) it is apt - and it still puts a smile on my face!

Week 4: Images, Part 1
Thing #11
_detail.jpg)
I love this image (from an illuminated manuscript of the Late Middle Ages) of a dog reading a book. He looks so serious; I assume he's reading a treatise on the best way to bark at squirrels.
Titled 'Lesender Fuchs mit klerikaler Kopfbedeckung' by the Master of Catherine of Cleves, Lieven van Lathem, the work was created around the year 1460. From: Book of Hours/ Livre d'heures/ Stundenbuch - Utrecht, Master of Catherine of Cleves, Lieven van Lathem (illuminators); Museum Meermanno-Westreenianum (MMW), Den Haag: Ms. 10 F 50, fol. 6r (http://www.literatuurgeschiedenis.nl/literatuurgeschiedenis.asp?ID=7)

Week 3: Social Reading (Things #7, #8, #9, and #10)
Naturally I already had an account in the Vision catalogue, but I had not yet taken advantage of the social reading aspects of the site. It was very easy to make a list, and I made a list of books I have read so far this year; this is a good way to keep track of the things I've been reading. I wrote reviews of the last two book that I read. Being able to follow other users with similar interests is a good way to find other books in the collection that I might enjoy. All in all, the Vision catalogue is well-designed, easy to use, and I'm starting to get addicted to the new features.
