Twitter by Post →
But if you get the chance to look at some old letters—properly old, from the first half of the 20th century, or older—you’ll see that they weren’t always long screeds. In fact they were often kept short and to the point. A bit like social media updates, actually. A letter back then might simply ask one question. The reply would answer it. Just that. A letter might describe a single event, or...

ConCon.org →
i’m having mixed feelings about this company and its mission.  Conscious Contraceptives is a globally conscious organization delivering contraceptives directly to the consumer through the convenient and discreet online store at ConCon.org. Inspired by the “one for one” charity model established by Tom’s shoes (www.toms.com), a portion of every purchase from ConCon.org is...

How to Talk to Little Girls →
I squelched myself. As I always bite my tongue when I meet little girls, restraining myself from my first impulse, which is to tell them how darn cute/ pretty/ beautiful/ well-dressed/ well-manicured/ well-coiffed they are. […] Try this the next time you meet a little girl. She may be surprised and unsure at first, because few ask her about her mind, but be patient and stick with it. Ask...

Why the problem with Siri matters →
It’s just icky that (in the US) Siri is a woman that does your bidding, and you’re definitely in luck if you’re a guy that wants “her” to fetch you penis pills to get it up and a sex worker for getting off. But if you get raped, it’s kind of like sorry, sister.

Digital photography's bright new world →
And although it’s become much easier to take photographs that are technically flawless (in terms of exposure and focus), it’s just as difficult to capture aesthetically satisfying images as it was in the age of film and chemicals. It turns out that technology is a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for creating art.

What Siri's Blind Spot on Women's Health Really... →
No one owns the Internet, and we tend to assume that no one can control it. But this issue with Siri does show how easily a piece of code can shape our choices by limiting or controlling our options. […]  When search engines shape our knowledge of the world, their blind spots become our blind spots. And when they anticipate our needs — by automatically narrowing search results to...
