Finally Getting to A Computer

So my computer bit the dust last Friday, and I have still not replaced it. Fortunately, I have computer access for a few minutes. I could do an entire highlights post to make up for the postless days of this week, but instead I want to focus on one great story in The New Yorker.

Ian Frazier wrote a satirical piece called "By the Foot." As a city-dweller, the opening sentences immediately grabbed me: "I feel sorry for the people who still think of their places in terms of square feet. My partner, Scott, and I recently purchased Wyoming which we are in the process of renovating..."

The whole piece is fantastic, touching on snobbery, city economics, and even enviromentalism. Definitely take a look.
