The New-World Economy of a Modern Magazine, or, A...
After Marco’s outrage at The New Yorker’s brazen choice to include advertising in their iPad app, and follow-up thought experiment on how to right-size the magazine industry, I figured I’d try to work the numbers out. Let’s say you’re going to reinvent The New Yorker, but as a modern, digital-only version. We’ll make The Williamsburger as a thought exercise to...

“I check-in to my apartment on Foursquare, which I’ve named something cute and...”
– “A Day in the Life of the Modern San Franciscan,” which only gets more awesome.
I know nobody actually listens to audio posts on Tumblr, but did you know the iPhone app will straight up crash if you try to?
True story.

Food ideas: Wake and Bake →
yrfriendliz:
One of my best friends from college (and life) just finished culinary school in Brooklyn and is now making food all the damn time. She blogs about it and most recipes are pretty doable. They aren’t your average dishes, either, so it’s kind of cool to get new ideas and try something you wouldn’t have normally thought of.
Give it a look!!!
I always forget about this blog, written...
Tumblr’s “Missing e” Problem →
I can’t really get behind TJ’s outright disgust with Tumblr on this one. While I can understand his concerns and pet peeves, I think he’s in the minority and the amount of work that Missing e requires from an engineering standpoint is likely outsize. The fact is, a power user of a certain level is more a drain on resources than a helpful advocate for the platform. There has to be a reasonable...

Need to apologize
to Maya and Erik for walking past them without saying more than hello. (I’d only slept for two-ish hours and am rushing to get things done today.) Full conversation:
Maya and Erik: Hellooo! Me: Hi! [Awkward Beat] Maya and Erik: Goodbye! Me: Bye!

I’m nervous. I’m scared. I’m excited.
I have no idea how to look for a new job. It’s been over a decade since I’ve had to do that. I don’t know how to market myself. I don’t know what my skills are or how skills learned in a courthouse setting can be applied to a non-courthouse job. I don’t know…
I want someone to hire this woman. Preferably to write, because she’s an...

Wilco 30 →
weselec:
It’s not that the content of this list of the thirty best Wilco songs is bad, it’s that the order is completely wrong.
That’s the enduring interest of Wilco: people love them for wildly disparate reasons.
Still, if your list doesn’t have Theologians in the top five, we have nothing to discuss.
Also how is Muzzle of bees not in this list? Brb, listening to Wilco all day today.
