"When you’re watching your favorite Food Network show and Coca-Cola is used as an ingredient, do you know that Coke is paying the chef? It never occurred to me." Why wouldn't it occur to someone that a brand-name product used

I really appreciate this guy's devotion to shoelace tying, and I especially appreciate that this is the website where I figured out how to tie my shoes so that the laces lay horizontally rather than heel to toe. All my life nobody had

A key component of being middle class in the Victorian era was enthusiastically embracing new technology! A Victorian would kick your ass for not using a smartphone if it's available to you.

The idea that facial skin needs to be aggressively exfoliated daily or multiple times daily is one of the bigger lies the cosmetic industry has sold us, and we'll all pay for it.

Any useful comparison of libraries to file sharing ends at believing both are just places where Stuff Is and you can go and get it for free. It's to our collective benefit that libraries are much more than that.

Yeah, one of the links in that article was to another one she wrote about him, so it seems she plans on getting a lot of mileage out of his misfortune despite not really being in contact with him.

The use case just from the demo on the first page looks reasonable: you're on an airplane (or a train or in a car far from civilization) and you want to look at your travel itinerary/hotel's address/see the check-in time
