"The word is douche bag. Douche space bag. People will insist that it’s one closed-up word — douchebag — but they are wrong. When you cite the dictionary as proof of the division, they will tell you that the entry refers to a product women use to clean themselves and not the guy who thinks it’s impressive to drop $300 on a bottle of vodka. You will calmly point out that, actually, the definition in Merriam-Webster is “an unattractive or offensive person” and not a reference to Summer’s Eve. They will then choose to ignore you and write it as one word anyway."

— From ["What It's Like To Be A Copy Editor"](http://www.theawl.com/2010/07/what-its-really-like-to-be-a-copy-editor) by Lori Fradken via [Bobulate](http://bobulate.com)

A short story on the value of tardiness:

One day in 1939, Berkeley doctoral candidate George Dantzig arrived late for a statistics class taught by Jerzy Neyman. He copied down the two problems on the blackboard and turned them in a few days later, apologizing for the delay — he’d found them unusually difficult. Distracted, Neyman told him to leave his homework on the desk. On a Sunday morning six weeks later, Neyman banged on Dantzig’s door. The problems that Dantzig had assumed were homework were actually unproved statistical theorems that Neyman had been discussing with the class — and Dantzig had proved both of them. Both were eventually published, with Dantzig as coauthor. “When I began to worry about a thesis topic,” he recalled later, “Neyman just shrugged and told me to wrap the two problems in a binder and he would accept them as my thesis.”

Early, late, or in between, it is everything.

RAWR ITUNES. Why do you throw up modal status update boxes that make me listen to Lady Gaga?

Wow. Pretty ridiculous but not as scary as I'd expect from the Fuhrer.

How does that thing go again, TurboTax? The one about “are you fucking kidding me with this shit?” Wait, now I remember: Are you fucking kidding me with this shit.

Frank Chimero has an interesting piece questioning vertically scrolling windows as the primary presentation method for long blocks of text on computers. Coincides nicely with my experience with the New York Times iPad app, which seems to offer a better reading experience than the website (which is a better reading experience than almost every other news website).
