Boring but noteworthy postscript to that Grantland thing that nobody could possibly care about but me:
After a “Hey, that name sounds familiar!” and a cursory search, I’m 99% sure that the dude who wrote that article is a kid I was really good friends with when I was like seven or eight when my folks were living in Saranac Lake, NY, a tiny-ass tourist town in the Adirondacks. If...

John Gruber Is Out Of Control
bmichael:
Gruber clearly does write about some manufacturing issues in China, but I’d say if you look at it honestly, he does more mental work defending Apple and Foxconn than taking them to task. At best, he’s neutral. And I think we can all agree that he posted about the responsibility report once during the 2007 to 2011 span.
What this means to me is that Gruber is a big, fat, psychotic...

Some new stuff to add as we approach tip-off. I fully expect to spend my night alone in my hotel room in Connecticut, excitedly switching between Akron/Northwestern in the NIT and Iona/BYU in the 14-seed play-in game.
No, seriously.

NON-NCAA BRACKET CHALLENGE
Disgruntled Drexel fans, nonplussed Northwestern alums, Huskies in a huff, and whatever Pitt joke I’m too lazy to make right now,
I’d like to invite all of you to participate in the inaugural NON-NCAA BRACKET CHALLENGE. Join us in celebrating the only postseason college basketball tournaments that don’t matter: the NIT, CIT, and CBI.
How this works:

R. STEVIE MOORE →
That’s over two hundred R. Stevie Moore albums streaming on Bandcamp. Which is roughly half of the collection, it should be noted, but this is still an incredibly exhaustive archive of one of the greatest songwriters ever.
Where to start? It hardly matters.
(Well, start with either side of “Games & Groceries” I guess.)
