“Now the sky above New Mexico is hazy with Los Angeles, what words will you...”

– Jan Zwicky, K.219, Adagio (via awritersruminations) Contemplative amid the tiny details of a moment, of an existence. Really beautiful, just the words and their structure alone. The line “some moments are so huge you notice only little things” is the type of transcendental and ageless...

Do You Date Outside Of Your Borough?: Gothamist →

I think subway line is more relevant, at least within the core of the city (Manhattan, western Queens, north Brooklyn).

Wow. I have felt strongly about loneliness in my life, but this, this would be a complete mind-fuck. You want to believe there are still people out there, but...

Android Is Destroying Everyone, Especially RIM --... →

Should you really be writing for a website called business insider if you don’t know how to compare like to like? Android /= phone, iPhone /= OS, yet somehow this guy is unable to figure that out. Business people writing tech op-eds masked as news = facepalm. Then again, it does drive page views… <sigh>.
