Feed Me, Atlantic
Note 2010-02-28_12-45-57:
See update below re The Atlantic site’s “CMS bug.”
Note 2010-02-28_14-40-08: Context: if you’re arriving here late, the article below was a response to my pal, nostrich’s post about my own lamenting of the recent disappearance of full-content RSS feeds for The Atlantic Monthly’s online-only features. It’s not about how...
indefensible:
People keep posting that picture of Sasha Grey with what is essentially the Cliff Notes to Existentialism, and commenting that oh my look how intelligent she is.

Exhausted: “Because every win on this record’s hard-won.”
Being a love letter to The Wrens and their 2003 album, The Meadowlands. Composed of an improbable combination of gushing prose, digital audio recordings, live and promotional music videos, a handful of amusing quotations, an anecdote involving the rock band, “Creed,” one grudging acknowledgment of a web property that...

Inventory - Notions: John Dickerson’s Blog
Inventory: a cold right typing hand, an empty mug of tea, an overturned Blackberry probably blinking. “Love you Dady” valentine wrapped in iPod buds pink as the day it was born. Two pair of reading glasses. One pair on my face. Another set of iPod buds. An overturned CD covered by pens. So many no good pens never where I need them....

"I'm not 'Princess' Dad, I'm King Dad!"
"No, you're Princess Dad. Now wipe my butt."
"OK."

Yes: Iamrite.
WatchMacworld 2010: Rogue Amoeba
Merlin Mann gets the lowdown on the latest audio software for the Mac from Rogue Amoeba.
Actually, the lowdown I got was on how Paul and RA have cornered the market by caring intensely about being great at one thing: hacking the shit out of your Mac’s audio. Which he and his team (including Christa and Dan [w00t]) do extremely well.
