All kidding aside, this is pretty much how my decision process works. Certain bars short-circuit this, though. There’s one place - to remain nameless - where there’s good beer in taps that aren’t properly maintained. The time I got sediment in a beer that wasn’t supposed to have sediment was the last time I ordered beer on tap there (it didn’t help that they argued with me and said it was supposed to be that way). They have decent bottled beer but the prices are bad, so a gin and ginger is usually the best choice. (previously)

The “five o’clock somewhere” chart referenced here doesn’t actually exist. Yet, anyway. (edit: now it does)

I grew up in pop country, went to college in coke country, moved back to pop country, and then spent two summers in and subsequently moved to soda country.  I can order without embarrassing myself in any of them.

But I’ve always preferred to ask for Dr Pepper by name.

“We talked a lot about what the moral taco would look like, or the locavore taco, but this was the cheapest taco you can produce in San Francisco,” said Annalise Aldrich, a CCA student who helped present the group’s findings. Aldrich and another student, Rachael Yu, walked the audience through some highlights of their research. (via Your Taco, Deconstructed - GOOD Blog - GOOD)

Alissa says, “I like to play games that I win.”

Our only alteration to this chart would be “can we not play for winning and losing?” A younger relative used to say that, which was cute up until the point it became evidence of whether or not she thought she could get away with cheating (if she thought she could, she wouldn’t ask).  She doesn’t ask anymore, and if she’s still cheating she’s better at it.

The making of the NYT’s Netflix graphic – The Society for News Design

In my experience this is pretty much how all good software and interface design actually gets done. Sometimes it’s a napkin, sometimes it’s a whiteboard, but the approach is exactly the same.

I could tell this came from the NYT without even seeing the byline in the corner.  The article it accompanied doesn’t delve enough into the numbers for my taste.  While Evangelicals might provide the largest single bloc of voters in the Republican Party, how is it that the rest of the GOP has stood so idly by while they’ve wielded power beyond their numbers? I don’t have enough numbers to be sure (nor am I going to bother to look), but while I’d admit that the traditionalists and centrists identified in the study definitely are a plurality of Republican voters, I don’t think they’re a majority. And yet, they’ve been basically the only voice of “conservatism” for at least the past decade. That’s not right.
