But @andymangold has an overly rosy view of academia. I’ve read many articles about the commercial pressures on university research labs.

I love @andymangold‘s idea for design research, as discussed on the latest @gridshow episode: 5by5.tv/onthegrid/125

So glad to hear this debate after Susan Sankin’s unchallenged comments on previous @nprfreshair “gay voice” episode: npr.org/2015/07/07/420…

Fascinating discussion on @nprfreshair about upspeak & vocal fry. Annoying habit or are complaints rooted in sexism? npr.org/2015/07/23/425…

I want a flagship Android phone with a 5″ screen, reasonable price, no OEM skin, and good camera… Too much to ask? theverge.com/2015/7/28/9055…

Also, 21 megapixels for the Moto X camera seems dumb. More pixels = smaller pixels = poor low-light performance: theverge.com/2015/7/28/9059…

I’m super disappointed that the new Moto X (U.S. edition) has a 5.7″ screen. That’s way too big! theverge.com/2015/7/28/9055…

Windows 10 looks great, but I’ll definitely hold off on upgrading for a few weeks/months while they iron out bugs: theverge.com/2015/7/28/9045…

In Pixels’, “Nerdiness isn’t a common language; it’s the last status marker that underemployed middle-aged men can lay claim to.”

“Entire plot is parade of ugly, nonsensical ego-stroking, based on the idea that ubiquitous trivia is actually rarefied & unique knowledge”
