Someday we'll even obey Article 5

The text of the document is surprisingly brief and incredibly...
Later, They Fell Out Over "The Deck"
Over at The Cold Inclusive, the truth behind Jennifer Love Coudal Hewitt’s seminal role in Coudal Partners. TCI has been incredibly insightful in revealing JLH’s role in the birth of Web 2.0, but I found this latest chapter particularly bittersweet after picturing the sparks that must have flown when The Deck launched, destined to destroy AdWords.

Burgers on the Beach, Kids

It’s going to be a pile of delicious burgers, accompanied by some good beer (first keg is free, courtesy of my employers) and then later on, holy crap, Grandmaster Flash is spinning! What’s not to love? The only tricky part is...
