“His possessions are modest: three houses, one plane.”
It's Piiii-day, Piiii-day. Gotta get down on Piiiiiiii-day. Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend! (Weekend!) Piiii-day, Piiii-day. Gettin’ down on -- oh, I’m sorry, am I the only one excited about this non-holiday? Ahem WELL:
1. These guys are living every teenage boy’s dream: sitting in their bedrooms, playing video games, and making millions in the process. (Wtf? They’re living my dream, and I don’t even like video games.)
2. This series is a “deep dive” into the world’s first-ever website -- which means it can wax a bit technical at times, but it’s also a fascinating piece of techno-archaeology. Particularly as we celebrate another faux-holiday!
3. Did you have to wait in the queue for your Starbucks this morning? BLAME NETFLIX. Damn you, Netflix.
The official newsletter mascot debuts in an annoying vertical GIF. Hey Dory!
Postscripts: Sriracha bronuts. Rent-a-friend. Whaling. Who’s more famous than Jesus? Who’s the web’s top enemy? The birth of the cellphone and the death of reading. “His possessions are modest: three houses, one plane.” Hm.
Enjoy the weekend! Until Monday,
