I'm an Apple fan, shareholder and relatively early adopter. But I have never understood the concept of waiting on a long line to buy a gadget. For one thing, the gadget's not going anywhere; pick it up a day, or a week, later if your career isn't dependent on it. Truly, what's the difference? (I bought the original iPhone on Day Two and my life was no less fulfilling or sexy.) For another, the danger of buying first means you may get to be the one to expose flaws. There's an old adage that says not to buy a car in its first model year, because production quality improves over time; perhaps this is starting apply to Apple, which has to crank out a million of any new device just for launch. Curious to see how this plays out.
Levain Bakery and sunflowers. Miss you, Amy.
This is not news to me, but it may be to you: New Jersey has around 600 diners, the most in the country.
News to me is that Wikipedia has an awesome page on diners. Worth reading if you’ve ever ordered a taylor ham-egg-and-cheese sandwich after midnight (or if you know someone who has).

Manute Bol, in addition to being a humanitarian and a decent basketball player, gave American linguistics "my bad."
Father’s Day is the third-best-selling “Hallmark Holiday,” with 93 million cards changing hands at a cost of $749 million. It trails Valentine’s Day (152 million cards) and Mother’s Day (141 million) in volume. All three combined are dwarfed by Christmas, which generates 1.8 billion card sales each year.

I got from Richard Marx to Tony Iommi in 6 steps. That's kind of genius (and it included a marriage).

"But isn't that disheartening, that something pretty awesome, and so successful, can still be short by a few million a year? How are we supposed to become the future and all?"

For posterity: a clip of my live critiques at IRWD2010 (even though there's no view of the site Ethan and I are critiquing)
