Aunt Erminia, Adriana Cecioni, between 1867 and 1870
Daily Thoughts 12/29/2018
I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.
I also took a few minutes to look at the Give Gab campaign.

On the way to work, I read some more of Capitalism In America A History. I am going to quote p.104 of this book, "America's genius lay in three things that are rather more subtle than invention: making inventions more user friendly; producing companies that can commercialize these innovations; and developing techniques for running these companies successfully."
I also read a little bit more of Red Moon. I like the descriptions of technology in this story. It describes a way we might colonize the moon.
I checked the displays and the gift books. I spent some time going over art books with a colleague.
I checked out the book, This is Marketing You Can't Be Seen Until You Learn to See by Seth Godin.
I spent some time checking fiction books in the mezzanine.
