Oct 4th Weekend Reads

Throw these in your Pocket or your Instapaper or your whatever you like to use to reference longer form reads but, please, take some time over the next 72 hours to fully immerse:

• The Inferno of Independence - a great piece from Frank Chimero about being a creative, the loneliness of independence, the strength of community and a lot more. It's so full of worthwhile nuggets that it's hard to pick even just a handful to take with you.
• Maciej Cegtowski XOXO Talk - it's mentioned in the above Chimero piece but here's the full transcript of Pinboard's founder speaking on Thoreau. Go for the Thoreau 2.0 image, stay for the rallying cry for more community and less solitude.
• Ending the Anti-Hero Genre by Introducing Good and Evil - a bit of waxing on the finale of Breaking Bad and the series on the whole. I think the show wrapped itself up well but there's still plenty of room for further consideration of the characters involved - particularly Mr. Walter White.
