Thanksgiving: A United States holiday commemorated by adults traveling back to their hometowns, enjoying their family for a while, exhausting most conversational possibilities after a day, becoming bored senseless, realizing that there’s still three more days left in the weekend, meeting up with old friends who are also in town for the weekend and similarly bored, learning that absolutely no nearby bars or coffee shops are open (or exist), and realizing that the only thing to do is to drink their parents’ liquor and play Euchre like naughty high-schoolers, except that they were too nerdy to drink their parents’ liquor in high school, so they’re doing it at age 27 instead when it’s far less cool and rebellious but far more obvious as the best choice they have at the moment to pass the time and enjoy themselves.

A video of Lada Gaga, back when she was known as Stefani Germanotta, performing two songs at an NYU talent show. One of the judges compared her to Norah Jones, though neither Jones nor Gaga are making music quite like this anymore.

About Me
I'm a high-functioning high school and college dropout. A modern-day Renaissance man, I've spent time releasing indie records, selling shoes, making copies, designing t-shirts, taking photographs, teaching graphic design, providing tech support for Linux webhosts, and generally raising a ruckus. Now a full-time tech-writing idiot savant, I've written about music, photography, vegetarian dining, and of course Apple.Here I post links to things that interest me, my articles on Ars Technica, and occasional rants.
