I think, in many ways, we’ve become a nation of quantifiers. Apps and social networks make it easier than ever to quantify the daily minutiae of our lives. Now, more than ever, we can know exactly how many friends we have, h...
Some of my favorite things come from “brothers.” Brooks Brothers. Super Mario Bros. The Venture Bros. Now, we can add another “brothers” to my list of favorite things: Layton Brothers Mystery Room, a new iO...
Alarm clock apps are one of those iOS categories that it’s really hard to care about. As long as it tells the time correctly and has a loud alarm, who really can tell one app from the next? Most people I know simply use Appl...
I have been, and always will be, the world’s greatest procrastinator. I never turn in work late, but I could be turning it in way earlier if I wasn’t constantly slipping a steady diet of YouTube videos and RSS feeds in...

The thing about most flaky people is that they have no idea they’re acting flaky. If people accuse you of being the kind of person who flakes out on planned events, there’s not usually a way to prove them wrong with co...
I’m a total typography nerd. I’ve watched a documentary on the history of Helvetica, and I’m the kind of person who flips to the end of a novel to see what typeface was used to set the tone of the book. I have a ...
