Quote

The letter y is indeed anomalous in English orthography: it represents a vowel (the vowel of high) in fly; replaced by a vowel letter in inflected forms of that same word (e.g., flies); it represents a completely different vowel (the vowel of he) in happy, where again it is replaced by a vowel letter in derivationally related words like happiness; it is part of a vowel representation in buy and Jersey and boy; but it stands for a consonant in you . . . This is a letter with no self-image and no sense of self-worth

PODCAST

I was made to promise this would never see the light of day, but I’m an asshole, so I’m posting it.

The idea was that Bill, Marco, Ben, and I, would do a podcast. It was doomed to failure from the get go: Ben made absolutely no effort to plan it, and had no idea what he was doing with recording, and I bailed out at the last minute with a headache. The result (even with heavy editing) is a fucking travesty. And yet…

Here it is.

Incredibly, we plan on trying again soon.

(Sorry guys. Too good not to post.)

When Obama wins →

Kottke is aggregating the “When Obama wins” meme from Twitter. Pretty slick, seems to be pulling them in from Twitter automagically.
