FourSquare meets skiing. More badges to collect. Terrible/awesome.

1 August, 5, 2010 - Denver - Twelve blocks away from the conference, I sit, as Aretha blows the lid off a man who done her wrong, and drink. I’m 5280 feet above sea level in a bar fashioned after the Queen Mary’s. Last night, my breathing was labored. This morning, I drank hotel room…

How Harvard Views ‘Love Story’ - NYTimes.com →
pablog:
It’s probably worth mentioning that so much of the theater—in particular the aforementioned and esteemed Crimson Key Society—does this while completely hammered.

Not gonna lie, I watched Love Story before I came to Harvard and I loved it. And then this happened.

knick/knack: On Gmail's Redesign →
I rarely become incensed about something to the point that I feel to need to blog about it. I’m a voracious Gmail user, Android phone owner, and even recently switched from Firefox to Chrome. Basically, they own my soul and first born child. Even if I wanted to switch services, I couldn’t with any…
Molly is right on regarding the redesign! It’s weirded me out as well (and I really...

Squashed: Hiroshima →
Exactly sixty-five years ago, we dropped an atom bomb on Hiroshima. Whether or not we agree on whether dropping the A-bomb was necessary, we should be able to agree that it was among the worst human-caused catastrophes in history. When we hear “Hiroshima,” we hear “the first city we bombed.”…

My home city has a bit of a branding problem. Columbus is a great city to live, work, and grow up in. It’s full of good office jobs with plenty of affordable houses in nice, safe neighborhoods with great schools.
