Weekend Roundup: June 9
"Don't wait." Ira Glass

Randoms for your weekend:
Ira Glass's commencement speech for Columbia Journalism School is the best thing the internet has ever given me. I watched it twice, and got emotional both times.

It may only be that level of inspiring to a small handful of other people, but if you're one of those other people, I can't wait for you to hear it.
Another Austin Kleon, because this is my list and I can do what I want — Thoughts On a Decade of Publishing Books.
Jason Lee on the making of A Plain View, which I want very badly, if anyone feels like buying it for me.
A friend sent me this article about Bonton Farms in South Dallas and... I want to do something like this with my life.
