Winning a signed Kate Beaton print is great. Getting it all crumpled is not so great. (If you follow that link to Jen’s site, it’s not her fault.) I’m currently pressing it in the hope that all those creases will disappear. I’m not confident enough in my ironing skills to attempt that method.
Aggh, tragedy!

Inside an Amazon Warehouse
Amazon must rely on...
Amazon must rely on barcodes and human hands to find the ordered items and drop them into the proper bins — without robots, Amazon utilizes a system known as “chaotic storage," where products are essentially shelved at random.
By storing items randomly instead of categorically, the warehouse has a much better flow of material. Even without robots or automation, Amazon can compile a “picking list" that locates where each item needs to be taken off the shelf and scanned again before it can be shipped.
The real advantage to chaotic storage is that it’s significantly more flexible than conventional storage systems. If there are big changes in a product range, the company doesn’t need to plan for more space, because the products or their sales volumes don’t need to be known or planned in advance if they’re simply being stored at random.
Furthermore, free space is much better utilized in a chaotic storage system. In a conventional system, free space may go unused for quite a while simply because stock is low or there aren’t enough products to begin with. Without any kind of fixed positions, available shelf space is always being used.
