Abstract
- The article discuses James Ward's fascination with boredom and things that are boring. Ward is a co-founder of the Stationery Club, whose members meet to discuss things like pens and paper clips. He organized a conference called "Boring 2010" which took place in December of that year in London, England. Attendee William Barrett's presentation, in which he read aloud the several hundred colors in a paint catalog, exemplified the proceedings.
