Kottke Goes Back To Dayjob.
Predictably, the trolls weigh in. Seriously, what a bunch of whining, jealous bitches. 39K/yr for writing about the internet (and, admittedly, posting a ton of New Yorker links) is not bad.

I’ve written about this before, but I couldn’t find it in my own archives. It may take a while, and it’s weighted towards upper-case letters (difficult when you have a lower-case-weighted example) but it does an excellent job.

Minolta Quits Camera Business.
WOW. I have a Minolta X-700 (35MM SLR) from fifteen years ago, and it’s a bombproof, reliable camera. On the heels of Nikon getting out of the film-camera business, this is big news.
