This site is needed desperately, as are several others with a similar purpose: your/you’re, there/their/they’re, etc.

Insane. My kids will not be getting these things (at least not from me). Same goes for DRM’d music; let’s not train them that this crap is “normal”.

I like the software dev analogy here as well, but this reminds me that I never posted about a few aspects of my recent NYC trip - one being that I just took a couple changes of clothes and did laundry instead of over-packing.

In case that didn’t pique your curiosity, remind me sometime to post my first-hand experience tips for how to take a 7 day NYC trip for under $1K, including round-trip flight, lodging and food.
