An interview with Mikey Llorin
Author and tech enthusiast of hurry up the cakes, Mikey Llorin and K Sawyer Paul talk about how sometimes new gadgets aren't as good as the old gadgets they replace. Topics include Sony Readers, Kindles, and iPads. We also discuss Instapaper, and how we defend services we feel are fighting the good fight, even if it's just in our own heads.

Matt & Kim
I've seen bands release music videos for way too many songs from a single album (looking at you, OK GO), but it seems like Matt & Kim came out with no fewer than a million new videos this week. Here are a few.
This last one came out like three months ago but it's still the best song I've heard this summer.

The Raveonettes
I saw them last night, and they were great as usual. It's been ten years since I first heard of my favourite band. Here are a ton of music videos. This is gratuitous. One day I'll write a great shoegazer love story and this band will heavily feature.

More things, October 2, 2012
I appreciate the nostalgia of reading paper books in the same way that I appreciate the nostalgia of playing old video games or that others appreciate listening to vinyl records.

Order gives the content emotional significance; in fact, we could say that by becoming the dominant feature to which our emotions react, order itself becomes the emotionally-relevant content. But what kind of content? Why does order stimulate contentment, and even delight?

She said yes
This is my girlfriend. At 2 in the morning at Nuit Blanche I proposed, and now she's my fiancé. But I'm still going to call her my girlfriend, just like she's still going to call me her boyfriend. We'll be doing that after we're married. It's cuter.
I'm really happy.

The yellow one is my favourite, but I've got a soft spot for the lot.
