I've never understood Condé Nast's decisions about this title. The year they killed the print edition they claimed a +1million circulation. Their current numbers were pretty darn good too.

Why do I have this sneaking suspicion that our future is going to look something like the corporate rim in @marthawells.com murderbot series?
Or worse (is that possible?), Max Barry's Jennifer Government?

I suppose I could mention that I learned to code on punch tape years before Excel was created?
And walked to school through blizzards?
And how to plug in a 25 pin dot-matrix printer (which was way more maintenance free that my current "Evil Sentient Printer")

Between 1994 -2010, my former client, Ziff-Davis was sold 4 times for a total of about $5.1billion.
In 2010 it was broken up and sold for parts.
Thank you, private equity!

A note for whoever thought it was a great idea to wrap appliances in impossible to remove shrink wrap…
May the rest of your days be difficult, disappointing and dreary.

Peach in the City approves of this. Why wouldn’t you want to wake up at 6:04 every.single.morning so you can devour your breakfast and then take a nice long walk, rain, shine, snow, pre-dawn darkness?
I mean, c’mon human! Get with the program!

How much do I respect my former Senator @duckworth.senate.gov (I no longer live in IL)? From the first time I heard her speak, an immense amount and this is just one reason.

This pretty little grey spider dropped in on us during our picnic at Sloan Lake in Denver this afternoon.
I was kind of happy to see her. The rest of the fam, maybe not so much.
