Bike Racks Are the New Smoking Section
I canceled my parking contract last month as an added incentive for me to bike to work. So that’s a monthly savings of $85 plus gas, minus whatever it costs when I wimp out and pay the ramp’s regular rates. (I’m a big baby about cold hands, and I’ve got no idea how to gear up for rain or snow, so my wimpiness will be mostly weather-dependent.) This morning, I had to run a...

I Tried To Watch Game Of Thrones... →
parislemon: Hollywood’s core piracy “problem” is perfectly captured in this one cartoon by The Oatmeal. In fact, I’ve had this exact debate with myself. I really want to watch Game of Thrones. But I’m not an HBO subscriber because I’m not a cable subscriber and unfortunately, the two go hand-in-hand, no matter what I’m willing to pay. Speaking of “willing to pay”, okay fine, I can’t get Game...

parislemon: @parislemon you are missing out on a rich experience by dissing comments, commenters, and the dialog that results. parislemon.com/post/152882106… — Fred Wilson (@fredwilson) January 4, 2012 Last night I came home after watching Michigan’s most excellent Sugar Bowl win and read Matt Gemmell’s follow-up on why he turned commenting off on his blog a month ago. “It was definitely the...

The Spirited Traveler: Bootlegging in Minneapolis →
stuffaboutminneapolis: (Reuters) - Perhaps Minneapolis never quite got over the Prohibition era of the 1930s. How else to explain the popularity of its iconic cocktail, The Bootleg? The city’s signature drink - heard of by few outside of Minnesota - is a relatively homely one, a fizzy, sweet-and-sour concoction akin to a Tom Collins goosed with mint. Everyone seems to have their own...

bigboxcar: This is interesting: Google, the company that has been fighting against paid links and “thin” content, seems to be behind a campaign that’s generating both on behalf of its Chrome browser. File this under “what were they thinking.” Looking forward to the response to this one.

"Clopen"
parislemon: This is a great post by Danny Sullivan. For those of us caught up in the iOS vs. Android battle, it can be easy to lose sight of the simple, bigger picture. Android may be “open” in the fact that other companies can use the source code and users who so desire (and know how) can root it. But from a pure consumer perspective, the Android phone ecosystem is often anything but open....
