I think I get what Godin is saying and I would also recommend it. But I’ll tell you, study groups are not required for academic success. Take my word for it. In fact, I’d argue for every person a study group brings up to the median, there’s likely also a person being brought down to the median.

I can’t believe I only just discovered this amazing desk tour website this past week. For those looking for a replacement for subreddits like r/macsetups and r/battlestations, perhaps Maker Stations is for you.

Faced with the daunting task of uniting a country vulnerably attacked by a foreign enemy, President Bush delivered the greatest pitching baseball history. No, he didn’t run to the closer mound. Yes, he was put on the spot by Derek Jeter himself. And he delivered a pitch for the absolute ages.

These drone videos — especially of cool ballparks — never get old. I think the one done by the Red Sox at Fenway Park was better, but this is still pretty cool. I do sense some cheating though — how did Bernie Williams get from the concourse to the Monument Park in just a minute or two? (Via Daring Fireball).
