The BlogPage 3
I believe strongly in owning your own words on your very own home online, which is why I concentrate most of my writing here, and less on various social media outlets. You should consider the same, for a more open web.

Love it or hate it, The Outline hits a nerve
The Outline’s Joshua Topolsky: On the design front, it’s true that some people love the way The Outline looks, and some hate it. But no one is neutral about it. No one says “eh” when they see it. And no one thinks we’re another anonymous blog populated by random people churning out random content. But […]

How much caffeine is too much?
The Atlantic tries to figure out how much caffeine is unhealthy to put in you body. Yes, it’s about coffee. The number 400 mg is thrown around as a limit: Four hundred milligrams amounts to around four cups of coffee in the old-style sense of the phrase, an eight-ounce mug in a diner. It’s more […]

The mystery of Go Ask Alice
I’d never heard of the book Go Ask Alice, but the mystery surrounding the author made this piece an interesting read: Despite the popularity of Go Ask Alice, the mystery of the diarist’s identity has never been truly solved, and none of her relatives have ever come forward to claim a share of the royalties.

"People don't have hours anymore"
