Thanks for making your site wacom-friendly. A lot of sites don't have any denoising for clicks, so if you try to click with a tablet it ends up dragging a tiny amount instead (twitter's lightbox is REALLY BAD in this respect).

I always find it odd that the same developers who deride PHP look at things like IIFE and think "wow, JS is a cool, modern language!" Thanks for the article though, if I ever need to write some JS this will help keep me a little more sane.

While I think it's cool that designers show off their creativity in thinking up new ideas for old products, I could never shake the feeling that this was design's answer to fanfiction. The original creators have to look back and go "okay..

Sparky's is open 24hrs but doesn't have wifi (I believe intentionally). I'm a little spoiled having lived in NYC directly across the street from a 24/7 Dunkin' Donuts.

There's also the lack of soul-crushing suburban sprawl of the south bay, and the fact that you can legitimately live without a car. Still no late-night coffee (with wifi!) but that has a higher chance of springing up in the city than in San
