Last night was my first shift writing for The Verge, and this is a dramatic re-creation of me and Nilay after he gave me my first edits.
Finally, our ladyboy becomes a man. Nice to see what Ryan’s doing with the very very interesting and worthwhile college science news beat.
(But seriously: I’m super proud!)

Pushing code to the public at work has its own ceremony. Multiple times a day.
Straight up: I am more than a bit jealous of Doug and his magical workplace.
LIFEHACK! While the English Wikipedia is down for Soup Day today, the other language Wikipedias are open for your free encyclopedic needs!
Shown above, la Wikipedia française lectures us about the meaning of free software, and why English is an inferior language for not having separate words for free (as in beer) and free (as in speech).
Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.
He’s just like “Me no what? Scott not get. You do what work? What work?” This was written in charcoal on a dead wallaby and sent to me by a man on horseback.
Facebook — that’s where I’m a viking. Or a wizard. Or anything I want to be, really.

Steven dropped this on Twitter today, and while I’m not sure if it is true, it certainly feels true.
You Look Nice Today was a beautiful thing. It made me laugh, and it brought a lot of people together, including some of my closest friends.
I still love the work the Talent do on an individual basis. I like Merlin’s thing where he learns to talk to the radio guy on some days and the hobo on others, it’s been amazing watching Adam’s work blossom from a Fishstick into a full slate of videos for nice things, and I’ll always [REDACTED] Scott Simpson [REDACTED] spa getaway [REDACTED] also on Craigslist [REDACTED] once.
But YLNT sure was something special, wasn’t it?
It’s been no secret that one of the most popular requests I get is for me to eat an Ice Cream Sandwich. With the amount of buzz flying around Ice Cream Sandwich lately, and many of my partners and competitors both talking about and eating Ice Cream Sandwiches, it’s no secret that bringing an Ice Cream Sandwich into my mouth has definitely been something on my radar.
But while supporters have claimed that Ice Cream Sandwich will bring great value and depth to my platform — fattening it up, putting some meat on the platform’s bones, so to speak — there’s still some major technical hurdles before Ice Cream Sandwich will be ready for my consumption.
Actually, it’s just one. I’m allergic to dairy.
So, while I appreciate the demand for Ice Cream Sandwich, I will not be eating one either alone or with my carrier partners for the foreseeable product roadmap ahead. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but I assure you: the Ice Cream Sandwich experience would not be up to my standards of both user experience and not entering anaphylactic shock.
Best,
