Ever wondered what people Google about your state? What the stereotypes are? Well don’t fear, there is a map out there of the top autocomplete results for each state. Apparently people wonder why Iowa is boring, Illinois is broke, Alaska is seismically active (really – did you go through middle school science class?), North Carolina is so bad this year, Nebraska is so important to the Big 12, and Florida is so trashy.
The one I really don’t understand is why so many people are googling “Why is New Mexico so enchanting.” But then again people out there are googling why Utah is so salty.
This is by far the funniest thing I’ve read in quite awhile:

I found this really cool. Mostly because I’d bet half of the kids in the audience had no idea that they existed and would never be caught anywhere near a string instrument, and the others that weren’t in orchestra/band probably didn’t even realize instruments could make noises that don’t come out as classical music. So if you have 12 minutes to waste (and you’re remotely familiar with the top 40 music of the last 12 years) you won’t regret listening!
Finally a study has been done that proves I’m not wasting my time loving to read!
I’ve always loved to read (particularly fiction) and now there’s been a study done that proves it helps (a little) in business. I guess I can’t summarize it as well as the two links below so happy reading!

Really America? This is pathetic. Eating healthy is easy to understand, just difficult to do… So in theory taxes should be much more difficult than eating healthy (this survey is about theory not practice after all)…

I love reading and I love my job. But how do these relate since the vast majority of my reading is not directly relatable to my career? This article is all the proof I need that I can take lessons from classics and apply them to the business world!
