“They [corporations] believe in the free market for profit, but they want to...”
– Bill Maher (via peterbaker) Maher is a freak, but this is a very true statement.
I’ve been reading a lot lately, simply devouring books. I wanted a place to write about some of what I’ve been reading, so I made it. There’s nothing there yet, but there will be.
The Zapruder Film, Stabilized →
I’ve seen this quite a few times now, and it still shocks me a bit. Update: Here’s another take, in slow motion with a lot of close-up views of the film with frame numbers.

Top 5 reasons why “The customer is Always Right”... →
I have ALWAYS felt this way about customer service — there are some people you just can’t make happy.

– My favorite quote from Letter to a Christian Nation, by Sam Harris, refering to the 350,000 known species of beetles. Harris himself is quoting J. B. S. Haldane, the British evolutionary biologist.
WatchPulse (HD 720P) by Jason Chen (via Vimeo) Pretty video, and kinda hypnotic. If you click through to the Vimeo page, you’ll see it in HD, which is much better.
M.T.A. Director Calls for Ambitious Expansion -... →
I really feel like this is why NYC will always be considered a superior city to Boston. The leaders always seem to be more in-tuned to what is needed for future expansion of their city, and have the balls to actually pull it off. Public transportation is the future of this country, and New York gets that. Boston does not.
The Boston Globe reviews Angela's Cafe →
