My kid begins lessons tomorrow.

I’ll be that guy and point out that if you actually walk in another person’s shoes, what was empathy would now be sympathy, so yes, it would have to reduce your empathy, by definition.

I’ve never found myself in a situation where I thought, “my palms are cold, but fingers are just right.” Fingerless gloves are basically vests for your hands.

Could the re-up be used to extend your current subscription?

I was just going to work on the assumption that those were two completely independent thoughts and the first was just disturbing.

Transmutation never goes well.

One day I hope to meet Leif Ackerman.

On a related note, ask yourself why someone is offering you a free place to dump that stuff you are thinking is trash.

That is really nice. But at $40 for a caddy, it needs to be able to help me read greens.

I’m a slow reader and audiobooks are way too slow to help me speed up. So yes, I think you’re right on this. I either use RSVP at the limit of my ability or crank the playback speed on an audiobook to the limit of my comprehension. And now that I say that, I realize I’ve never tried both of those together.

Without question this. My photos are backed up for me so they are backed up in both places. Flickr preserves my resolution without me reaching into my pocket. But ultimately, if I was to lose everything on my harddrive and lose everything in Flickr, I wouldn’t be saddened the least bit if all I could recover was…

Ditto. Bought a second phone with the $5 plan because they had an offer that made it worth it to do that even though we’re waiting out the end of a Verizon plan. By the time the Verizon line contract is up, we still come in having paid less for the Republic Wireless package that’s not even being used until then.

Google Maps Now Tells You When To Floor It would have been a much better title.

That dude asked after being notified. I’m not sure if it was firsthand or secondhand, but the parents had already contacted the press before that.

Covering is an active process. Leaving her be isn’t covering.

I’ve got a local Big Lots store that devotes half an aisle to reduced-priced items that were returns for various issues. Things that would normally be thrown in a bin and written off as damaged goods. Things like headphones (left speaker does not work).

One point. Affirmative action doesn’t permit or require asking someone about their race. It’s risky business to do that when you’re looking to fill a position just as it is to ask about age.

Interesting. I don’t bookmark in Evernote at all. I use it for . . . well . . . notes. And recipes.

Pocket is not my “I’ll read this later” bookmark service. For that, I use Readability. Pocket is for my “I read this once and know that I will be coming back to use it again” bookmarks.

Best for me. And for my chemistry, it will do it’s job for two days if I need it too.
