• Hershey’s chocolate syrup on vanilla ice cream.

  Eating this right now. That residual stuff in the bottom of the bowl is like Proust’s madeline.

• Creamsicles.

  Just had a Rita’s lemon ice with vanilla frozen custard the other day which bought this right back to the front of my consciousness.

  Primarily for monetizing pie-in-the-sky ideas that can’t actually be sold because they’re impossible. Also useful for ideas that are possible but you don’t really want to make them and just want to get money instead.

Sometimes I feel guilty for using an ad blocker, and then I turn it off and within 30 seconds I’m reminded how insufferably awful the web is without it.

Back on it goes.

Inspired by @jennifergster and many more. Sorry this list is so pretentious. Read more…

I’m going to make some lists about lyrics I love. I’ll start with R.E.M. which was my first lyric love way back in middle school. You kids today don’t know what it was like back then listening over and over with headphones and a pen and paper trying to work out the words so you can process them. R.E.M. was the first to put me through that. Read more…

The more you know. (I’m bored and tired waiting for a build…) Read more…

10 minute (!) scrolling panorama of the plane of the Milky Way composed of stitched together imagery from the ESA’s Herschel space telescope.

It’s like our eyes have opened for the first time to see what has always been right above us. Absolutely amazing.

  Duh.

And this is just with a Trump candidacy. Imagine how much worse it will be if he gets elected.

Me: “Why is the TV on?”

Sophia: “Isabel is in there watching something.”

Me: “Oh! Didn’t she go to school?”

Sophia: “She only has like a month til she graduates, dad.”

• I hate white chocolate…

  HATE it. I hate it so much it kind of offends me that it is called chocolate. That’s like calling horse manure “brown gold”. It may be brown but it definitely isn’t gold.

• I’m not big on peppermint…

  I mean it’s ok I guess but if the choice is between peppermint candy and any other kind I choose other.

  While in the car even!

• I shower every day.

  Twice most days in the summer.

• I brush my hair kind of quickly.

  I used to use hair spray but maybe 18 months ago I ran out as I was leaving for a trip and I realized I don’t actually need it. So I stopped using it. Look how dashing my hair is anyway.

So this new kindle actually looks pretty great to me. Is it the first with a metal body or is the Voyager metal too? Because my biggest beef with my old kindles was how utterly chintzy they felt. I always wished for one with much better build quality.

I wonder where I can hold the new one.

• Hello [friend name] I am inviting you to like my stupid business. Do you like it? Like it. LIKE IT.

• Reminder! That thing I invited you to that you did not rsvp for and that you showed no interest in is TONIGHT! You were invited. Everyone was invited. Don’t forget.

Pro tip: A poll that shows someone “winning” within the margin of error doesn’t show anything at all. There’s no such thing as an answer smaller than the error that is anything but error.

• Sleep in til 8:00, quick shower.

• 8-9:00: Make breakfast for my girls. Waffles, eggs, biscuits, berries, bacon.

  Yes they have to be out the door before eight but this is my fantasy so I’m both sleeping in AND making a nice breakfast. The kitchen will already be tidy and clean before I start.

I love the idea of creative workarounds to constitutional hangups. None of these are a slam dunk but they remind me that government is a complicated imaginative aggregate force of the people far more than a set of laws and that is neat. Any other cool ones? Read more…
