From Anil Dash:

To my new co-workers at Danga who'll be coming to work with us in San Francisco, I thought I'd share some of the knowledge I've learned about this town:

• Bring a sweater


• The place you're going to is closed

Sentence meme

Take the first line of the first post in each month of the preceding year. String them together into a paragraph. Post. Serves... 42 or so, apparently.

(Due to the way I treat the subject line, the first sentence is occasionally a continuation of the subject. In these cases I'm reprinting the subject too. Also, I'm ignoring memes.)

Taken from elissa_carey: Something interesting I learned last night about world-building, and more specifically running a game in a world which you haven't set down entirely on paper yet. Feeling better after a little isolation, and sleep, and food, and coffee. At the end of the day I won't consider myself to have accomplished much. So. I wanted to go home early, but not this way. It's been striking me recently that I let myself be influenced far more than I realized before. First, thanks to aurorafirechild for pointing this frightful tale out to me. We've all seen the logos.

I didn't expect to find the words, "that's a badass sewing machine" coming out of my mouth, and from the look on his face, neither did the guy from Brother Sewing. He should be used to it, though, because it's totally true. The Innov-is 4000D converts any image file into an embroidered pattern—even directly from USB flash drives.

And yes, that's a full-color touchscreen on the side.
