  • Multi-page online articles inflate pageview numbers at the expense of user experience. @NYTimes, etc., allow us to default to single-page! #

  • Are there any good tech blogs that aren't rabidly pro-technology, if that makes sense? #
  • I don't have a problem with this: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/09/fashion/09blogfree.html #
  • Obama's reading list: Joseph O'Neill, Dave Eggers and Jeff Sachs http://bit.ly/kui68 (via @melvillehouse) #
  • Ginevra King's–the inspiration for Daisy–Chicago home was for sale. Who bought it? http://bit.ly/lTuMk #

  • Edmund Wilson responds to requests: http://www.henryfarrell.net/scialabba/wilson.jpg #
  • ePub? Yuck! http://bit.ly/2Bj49U Can someone explain to me why we can't get books in PDF with embedded fonts? #
  • Lots of new sections just appeared in my NYTimes iPhone app, including "Pro Basketball" and "Start-Ups." What is up with that? #
  • The cover for Commencement looks so much like the one for Demonology. #
