Over the weekend I drove to Ohio (and back), affording me plenty of time to catch up on past episodes of Fresh Air, Science Friday and other podcasts. During one of the Fresh Air episodes, I heard the most astonishing thing.
When I got to the office this morning and unpacked my bag, I realized I left something at home: my laptop. Not one to let a little thing like a missing computer ruin my day, I’ve decided to see if I can simply rely on my iPad.
Friday, Patrick Pexton, Washington Post Ombudsman, wrote an attention-grabbing article titled “Is The Post Innovating too fast?” It received swift and almost universal condemnation. It deserved to be criticized, but I also think the response overlooks some of the column’s good points.
Perhaps you saw this terrific story in the New York Times yesterday about a Manhattan artist who specializes in kinetic art. What he especially enjoys is building modern-day Rube Goldberg devices.
