Chairman of the bored
I caught up with Lauren for coffee this morning.
One of the topics that kept us talking for a while was the world of academia.
Especially the nature of academic conferences and publishing.
This video of some of the world's most boring books captures the essence of our chat perfectly.
Although I have to admit I never even got half way through before clicking it off due to extreme boredom.

oh dear god, that video is hideous. although, to be fair, i think it might have been interesting if it were presented as a flickr stream that you could slideshow.
but it does highlight the uselessness of many, many books. you should see the yearly RMIT library cull... phew! and i'm sure there are worse universities with more useless research being done and subjective more books on unsuspecting public.
fabulous to have coffee with you stan - we must do it again sometime soon :)
