p. Your copy of Coming&Crying will be hardcover, 168 pages, containing 24 stories by 24 people, sent directly from a box in Melissa’s apartment and carried in a series of bins by Meaghan and Melissa to the general post office in Manhattan, where a woman named Estelle Lee will release it — that’s the word — to you. It will come in a white envelope.

Went to M-J Wednesday night, because I saw on Meghano’s Tumblr (never met her, but I met Melissa a couple times and she’s super nice0 that they had copies. I searched all over the store and couldn’t find any. Then I saw a cute girl holding a copy. “Excuse me,” I said. “Where did you find that?”

“It was right there, but I think this is the last one.”

“Oh, so sad.”

So that’s good! Sold out at M-J! And so I just ordered online.

CONGRATS!

For the last three nights (or four, I guess, counting today), I have basically forgone my social life, gone straight home after work, and just kept emailing and doing things. It’s been kind of awesome – and my inbox has been under 30 emails for four days straight, which is pretty great. I’ve been finishing up at about 3AM every night.

But it means I’ve literally done nothing but work while I awake – and 90% of that has been email. It’s ridiculous. 

And a vacation? Forget it. if you don’t check at least once a day you are SCREWED when you get back to work. Every ounce of therapeutic benefits will be gone within seconds of checking your email monday morning. No choice but to hit it a little bit each day.

My partner, Keith, is on a two week vacation right now and seems pretty removed from email. I do not envy him. I also don’t expect to really be able actually talk to him for like 3 days after he returns. 

We still encourage and allow this at work, but, man, I dont’ envy the off-the-grid vacationers. 

Wow. I have a 1TB library and this is what you come up with as my recommendations. Probably best to just kill those recommendations dead. 

Netflix is rolling over in its… oh wait.

Woah.

They view their sites as mere brand extensions and fail to treat them as stand-alone media properties.

They don’t understand usability and make their sites pretty but impossible to navigate, and then naively think they’ll educate their users to find their content.

They don’t understand Web metabolism and produce content that’s stale.

They think Web content is inherently inferior when it’s merely different, and create inferior Web products as a result then wonder why they’re not succeeding.

They fail to monetize their products properly, then underpay talent and wonder why they can’t recruit good writers.

I did a Qwith the Knoxville News on web media, etc.
