I'm only about 1/3 through "Piet Mondrian: 1872-1944" by Yve-Alain Bois, Joop Joosten, Angelica Zander Rudenstine, and Hans Janssen, but I've become rather interested in the painter's life and his early, lesser known works. As of today, my favorite early Mondriaan (his real name) works are:

"Still Life with Gingerpot I" (1911, oil on canvas)
"Study of Trees II" (1913, charcoal on paper)
"Composition No. VI/Blue Facade" (1914, oil on canvas)
"Composition 1916" (1916, oil on canvas)
"Composition with Color Planes 2" (1917, oil on canvas)

Some of the spiral compact flourescent light bulbs we bought two years ago are going flaky. One in particular, a General Electric helical 15-watt bulb made in China, only works intermittently. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't - it's the weirdest thing. I guess that's the *real* reason that flourescents save energy... =)

We found a hilarious dictionary at work, "Webster's New World Dictionary of Computer Terms" (Fourth Edition, published in 1992). Here's a couple of actual definitions that must've been inserted as jokes (or at least written by computer guys):

nerd: A computer amateur. Also called GEEK.

geek: Slang for an unsophisticated computer user.

Hilarious stuff! =)
