The Value of 10 Minutes: Writing Advice for the Time-Less Academic
"Write every day. Over the years, this is the single bit of advice I've given most regularly to graduate students who aim to become professors.

On Kawara, Artist Who Found Elegance in Every Day, Dies at 81
"[On Kawara] belonged to a broadly international generation of Conceptual artists that began to emerge in the mid-1960s, stripping art of personal emotion, reducing it to nearly pure information or idea and greatly playing down the art object. Along with Lawrence Weiner, Joseph Kosuth, Hanne Darboven and others, Mr. Kawara gave special prominence to language."
