hard heads soft hearts

a scratch pad for half-formed thoughts by a liberal political junkie who's nobody special. ''Hard Heads, Soft Hearts'' is the title of a book by Princeton economist Alan Blinder, and tends to be a favorite motto of neoliberals, especially liberal economists.

Little Talk:

How Much Web-Surfing Does A Man Require?

My current answer:

 

One or two peeks, one or two pokes.

 

peek #1: pre-dawn / morning

After waking up.

 

peek #2: morning / afternoon

Breakfast or lunch.

 

poke #1: afternoon / evening

Tea or dinner.

 

poke #2: evening / night

Before turning off the laptop and tethering the phone.
