Go away, Justin Vernon. Just… C’mon, just go away. People are trying to make good music here. rd.io/x/QFyuPmks1g/

Months of bewilderment about the NY Lottery mascot are over. Turns out I’m just a n00b: mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/14/n-y… (Concept still seems weak.)

If this guy isn’t the stupidest person you come across this week, then your week is shockingly stupid. cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/22/a-d…

“Shut up! I have get my L.L. Bean coupon!” – @ChamberMonster

Totally forgot how architecturally interesting Allentown and Bethlehem are.

Once again, if the free trial of your service requires my credit card information, I will say good day to you, sir.

So much sadness and anger this week, and still so much work to do. Have to keep moving.

Telling the story of my web standards awakening in a talk I’m putting together. Ten years later, it still gives me goosebumps. /cc @zeldman

Much love to my Boston people. Hope everyone’s okay.

Opened an IRA because a) adulthood, and b) last-minute tax deduction. Did not like the guy I dealt with at all. Feeling gross.

Fondly remembering a time before it was possible for a Saturday to be ruined by nth-child pseudo selectors not working as advertised.

My favorite Roger Ebert accomplishments: Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, Citizen Kane DVD commentary, insane post-cancer prolificacy. R.I.P.

Doing everything wrong.

Excited to be speaking at my alma mater later this month! facebook.com/events/2384066…

This... makes absolutely no sense.

From my desk, I can see: Statue of Liberty, 1 WTC, Empire State Building, and the Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg Bridges. It’s nice.

If I had my own animated GIF repository like @beep’s bukk.it, it would only need one GIF: s3.amazonaws.com/smilebooth_ima…

So, basically, if I want to go a day without seeing people toss cigarette butts on the ground like a bunch of savages, I can’t go outside.
