"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

I was reminded of the Hemingway's very short story (the title) and the art-form that this has spawned (http://www.sixwordstories.net/) in my read of my Freegle Digest this morning (where you offer for free things you no longer want). Interesting things objects: they develop a history and meaning whose entirity is known only to themselves. Perhaps explaining the appeal of Stickybits and Dave Hieatt's idea of The History Tag.

Anyhow, the Freegle Digest:

Some poignant stuff:

So much, it seems to me, depends on how you define both “growth” and “prosperity.” Most would agree, I think, that the main result of progress should be less misery and more happiness. But in our modern situation these “ends” have become dangerously confused with the “means,” to the point where, now, wealth, innovation and growth have become the final goals. They have become the destination, when they were only ever at best a vehicle for getting there.
