There were plenty of professional and amateur photographers at Chris & Alicia’s wedding, so I contented myself to a handful of low-resolution shots from the hip.

From back when telephones were new and scary
May 27th, 2004
Let the smooth slab serifs of Lubalin Graph help teach you How To Make Friends
By Telephone. “Be sure to give the person you’re calling sufficient
time to answer his telephone. Wait at least a full minute.”
Also: “You would not interrupt in a face-to-face conversation and the
same applies to a telephone conversation.” [more info]
My point exactly.

Eat Now. Evolutionary metabolic traits, economy of modern refined

A Slashdot article even my brother will read: this discussion of the geekier side of poker has exploded into a great thread about casinos, statistics, and other aspects of gambling, such as when to hit the poker tables:
I found the best time was afternoons – the locals are gone, and the sharks are still sleeping it off, leaving you and a lot of really stupid people. That’s when I did really well. It helps when some moron will take 2-7 unsuited all the way to the river in Hold ‘em. It happened to me, it was great. You can’t lose.
(Oh, and I totally remember this, too. On the one hand, what a classic! “Where time becomes a loop.” On the other hand, what a ridiculous amount of storage space in my brain is wasted on television…)
