Pulling the trigger

"This is the promise they all made in November," to contribute to change by getting more involved in the political process, he said. "I can't wait to pull that trigger on them."

The good news is that my dear friend, Anil Dash, has begun an exciting new venture that will only benefit from his expertise and passion. The bad news is that his unfortunate ending quote has probably caused the FBI to create an "Anil Dash" folder.

All joking aside, I only wish him the best of luck.

Congratulations to Anil for such a fantastic and well-deserved opportunity!

Limone

A month passes. We go for a weekend away. At the hotel, a boy on a tricycle crashes into Joel.

"Limone," mutters Joel under his breath.

Jon Ronson on the worst curse word in the world (and it's not "limone").

I want this sandwich!

This is the "banh mi du maison" from Ma Peche ("Momofuku Midtown") in New York. I want it.

In local news, I had a banh mi last week from a spot called Grab 'n Go. It was pork + chiles + cilantro + pickled carrots + bread, and it was cheap and tasty. Not the greatest banh mi in the world, probably, but very delicious & filling for $4. I'll go again.

Micro

I'm firmly on Team TypePad Awesome, and I'm totally proud of the entire team for the launch of the free TypePad Micro. This is a big day for TypePad!

There's a Serge Gainsbourg biopic, Gainsbourg: Vie Héroïque, coming out in January! I love Gainsbourg and find him endlessly fascinating, so this is exciting, and the trailer looks great.
