My favorite links from the past week.
- Our Guide To The Exuberant Nonsense Of College Fight Songs – College fight songs are Saturday staples, memorized in freshman orientation and blasted by marching bands at every game. The best ones are shouted from the rooftops and during Heisman Trophy presentations; the worst barely register with alumni.
- Microsoft Found that Banning This 1 Thing Led to Happier Employees – When I used to work for a large consulting company, one of our clients loved meetings. Almost too much. We had a mandatory 90-minute meeting every single morning at 8 am.
- Parnassus Books Cares About Us. Does Amazon? – Nathan Morgan for The New York Times NASHVILLE — Parnassus Books is normally the happiest place in Nashville, cheerful with bantering booksellers and wagging shop dogs and everybody-knows-your-name regulars and out-of-towners wearing the stunned look of a child in an endless candy aisle.
