Scientists, philosophers and history’s greatest thinkers have a tradition of categorizing people, places and things. I like mine.

(And it’s taken me the last week to remember the name of a wonderful site that produces a chart/ven diagram daily – visit thisisindexed.com/@jessicahagy).

• Useless & Dull: Fox News, 90% of Powerpoint presentations
• Useless & Delightful: glitter, marshmallows
• Useful & Delightful: purple Duct Tape, flexible straws
• Useful & Dull: tire pressure gauge, battery chargers

The chart applies to people, too. For 2012, try to keep yourself in the “delightful and useful” category.
