Daily One Inch Button #235 - Be proactive

Be proactive.

Maybe that should be your thing for the year 2009.

I'm going to work on being proactive.

Are you?

It's serious stuff. You can get so much more pleasure out of your life if you go out and do things instead of waiting for them to happen to you.

Daily One Inch Button #234 - Notorious BIG

Biggie, Biggie, can't you see?

Sometimes your words do in fact hypnotize me.

I really did love your flashy ways.

That's why we were so broke, yet you were paid.

You left us far too soon.

I have a feeling you would have loved "Gnarls Biggie", too.

Daily One Inch Button #232 - Robert Johnson

Many consider him to be the grandfather of rock 'n' roll.

He wrote an amazing song called Crossroad, which is in fact a tale of how he got to be such a great musician.

It is said that he met the devil at the crossroads near where he lived, and he traded his soul in exchange for a finely tuned guitar and the ability to play the best blues that anyone had ever heard.

Did that really happen? Listen to the song and judge for yourself.

Daily One Inch Button #231 - I Heart Dictionaries

I love them.

I really do. I mean, where else are you going to find so many words?

That probably sounds just a little bit silly. Obviously, words are going to be found in a dictionary.

The Arabic dictionaries that were compiled between the 8th and 14th centuries were the first to actually be in alphabetical order. How did people find words until then?

Samuel Johnson took only nine years to compile a dictionary, a feat for which he was mighty proud.

Show your dictionary love today and get this button. Get a dozen, while you're at it.

Daily One Inch Button #230 - Furious Sharks

Look at those sharks. Don't they look angry?

Well, you'd be pretty angry if you were the subject of de-finning. I just made that up. People actually remove shark fins because it is considered a delicacy.

Shark Fin Frontier is a great look at this trend, and what is causing it.

Do the sharks a favor and don't eat shark fin soup. Otherwise, you can look forward to some pretty furious sharks coming after you.

Daily One Inch Button #229 - Pass the Sufganiyos / Sufganiyot

Some people call them jelly donuts.

Some people call them jelly doughnuts.

Yet other people, particularly this time of the year, call them sufganiyos. Sufganiyot, if you pronounce it just a bit differently.

They're delicious, regardless of their name.

Sufganiyos by any other name enrich the festival of lights, too.

Daily One Inch Button #228 - Owen Hart

Owen Hart.

When I was a kid, I used to love watching wrestling. I will admit that I never really enjoyed wrestling in the 1990s as much as I did in the mid 1980s but it still struck a chord with me when Owen Hart tragically died due to a mechanical failure shortly before a wrestling match.

This tribute video has a good sense of reviewing his magnificent career.
