You have to buy a ton of holiday gifts for your friends and family but you don’t want to spend a lot of money because of the macro economic environment (which has probably only effected you on paper but still makes you feel the need to modify your spending habits). Buy them at BustedTees. Seriously. Go there now and buy some shirts. Use the coupon code JOSHBLOG for 10% off your order.
But you can find great deals on it on CYBER MONDAY!!!
An interesting op-ed I just read about the transition of books into cyberspace, found on Ted Roden’s page on his new website Enjoysthin.gs. I realized as I prepared this tumblr post that the op-ed was written by James Gleick, one of the founders of the first real ISP (not AOL/Prodigy/Compuserve) that my family in the mid-90s.

The Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
Without question, The Band is greatest Canadian band of all time. Canadians (with an American drummer) who came to embody the sound of a romanticized American south. As I’m sure you know, they have so many great songs that I could have posted, so I’ve settled on this old classic.
Also, my favorite fun fact about The Band is that the name suposedly comes from people referring to them as ‘the band’ when they were backing Bob Dylan, they were actually called ‘The Hawks’ at the time.
And with that, Canadian music week is dead. Long live Canadian music week!
The Last Waltz, a Scorcese documentary of their last concert ever, is one of my favorite movies.
A nice artlcle and a worthwhile read for my friends in the Editorial department!

I can’t believe that, with so much negativity in this world, people are so eager to introduce more.
Unnecessary commas, asshole.
Op-Ed by David Brooks, NYT - the personnel of the smarty-pants administration (via kateheffernan)
This is exactly how it should be. The smartest, best education people available should be running our government.
Things I learned on TODAY:
30% of all timber goes to produce paper. Deforestation is considered the second leading cause of climate change.
ATM Receipts: There are 8 billion ATM transactions per year. The receipts from those transactions equal 2 billion feet of paper per year; enough to circle the earth 15 times. DON’T PRINT YOUR ATM TRANSACTION RECEIPT.
Paper Napkins: On average, each person uses six paper napkins per day. Using one less napkin per person per day would save millions of pounds of paper per year. USE FEWER PAPER NAPKINS. AND FEWER PAPER TOWELS.
