If it isn’t, you either need to not buy ads online or buy ads optimized for attention and familiarity, not clicks.” Damn skippy.

They knew they would have to eventually. I expect the Google Voice app approval from Apple will follow.

If only I was a member of a country club then I could regale Ted, Brick, and The Judge with this tale and it would come off as being more like my deranged fantasy.”

More than 200,000 users subscribe to get their daily dose of Sam.”

Second, read his excellent post ”Kurt Vonnegut explains drama.”

I was at a Kurt Vonnegut talk in New York a few years ago. Talking about writing, life, and everything.

He explained why people have such a need for drama in their life.

He said, “People have been hearing fantastic stories since time began. The problem is, they think life is supposed to be like the stories. Let’s look at a few examples.”

You can probably see where this is going.

I was balancing a Spaghettieis in one hand, my camera in the other, when I made this photograph. The ultra wide angle lens doesn’t really make up for the lack of good composition. But it helps, a little.
