What I want from my grocery store website Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Not to be just pitched.

Here's a simple thing you could do to help me: offer a PDF or image file that's a map of the aisles in my local store. You must have such thing for some internal purpose. Screen it down to 10-20% so the departments are legible but faint enough for me to scribble my list on it. That way I can zoom through the store with my list ordered in a logical way.


Sullivan on Obama as healer Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Really thoughtful article by Andrew Sullivan for December's The Atlantic on Barak Obama and how he may be equipped to heal what's ailing the U.S. body politic -- stymying polarization of my generation, the baby boomers.

Snip of audio interview with Obama. Nice they made it available. You know what I'd also like for a long feature like this? The whole thing read to me. It's so well written, treat it like literature and have an actor -- not a news announcer -- read it like an audio book. So I can take it with me.
