  2. I’ve learned that if you tell your story properly, people are very, very open-minded — far more open-minded than I would’ve thought. Or to put it in a more sophisticated way: People are information-rich and theory-poor. If you can give them a way of organizing their experience, then their minds are wide open. Which I would not have not have necessarily thought. And if you can frame questions appropriately you can overcome all kinds of ideological — what you would have thought of — as ideological constraints. So I’ve been continuously surprised. I always thought my book, because I am a political liberal, that my books would have heavily liberal audiences. But in fact they don’t….

  3. Convinced the USMNT was finally able to produce an attack due to extensive pre-game Lusting (Lunge + Thrust = Lust). Technique-wise, Clarence Goodson (second from right) seems a little too proud, while Steve Cherundolo (far left) appears to be putting the same effort into Lusting as he usually expends Cherunding.

  4. I made a font with the help of Fontstruct. It’s based on the letters on the smokestack at the old milk plant in my hometown. Not sure how often a strange, brickish font will be needed, so it may have served its ultimate purpose in the illustration above. But there’s a full character set, and if for some reason someone thinks they can use it i’m happy to share.

  9. First, I am an amateur. If that strikes you as disappointing, consider how much in error you are, and how the error is entirely of your own devising. At its root lies an objection to cookbooks written by non-professionals (an objection, by the way, which I consider perfectly valid, and congratulate you upon). It does not, however, apply here. Amateur and nonprofessional are not synonyms. The world may or may not need another cookbook, but it needs all the lovers—amateurs—it can get.
