[Blogging] as a full-time job
(kottke.org)
Kottke: "I recently quit my web design gig and -- as of today -- will be working on kottke.org as my full-time job."

(Could be courageous, or foolish. Hard to tell. But this will be interesting to watch -- blogging as full-time pursuit --- and I might just throw threw in a hat tip to see if he can pull it off. He's got consistently high-quality content and the audience volume to be able to try this, so why not give it a try if he can afford the risk. More later. )

Mary McLeod Bethune (1875-1955)

By her own words and example, Mary McLeod Bethune demonstrated the value of education, a philosophy of universal love, and the wise and consistent use of political power in striving for racial and gender equality. The 15th of 17 children of former slaves, Bethune grew up amidst poverty and oppression of the Reconstruction South, yet rose to prominence as an educator, presidential advisor, and political activist. Through her own schooling by missionaries in South Carolina, Bethune recognized the importance of education in the emerging struggle for civil rights.

(Education is the key to success. For some that's just an empty slogan. Mrs. Bethune lived by that philosophy, using her education to enrich her life and those she touched, and accomplish a stunning array of notable feats along the way. A true model person, worthy of emulation. Her last will and testament and its nine legacies is relevant to this day, and makes for very inspiring reading. )
