I’m 11 tweets deep into authoring a completely ridiculous Twitter account that chronicles the War of 1812, 200 years after the fact.
It’s been remarkably difficult so far, due to the fact that things don’t really heat up in 1812 until winter ends.
We don’t start declaring anything resembling a war until June.
And I don’t get to livetweet Dolley Madison saving that...

These are my worst Instagram photos
Much like the poetry I wrote in high school, I’ve classified some of my Lomo, Holga, and now Instagram-powered photography over the past, say, 12 years, as “bad on purpose,” as if there were some sort of meta-narrative about photography in play.

mattwaite:
The number of students I have seen who are budding journalist-developers ready to start busting out apps in your shop: 0. Why? Comes down to passion. I haven’t seen that student take what we talked about in class and run off on their own. It seems they’re still waiting for something. I don’t know what that is.

Some Americans Then and Now, 1941 - 2011 →
A brief view of self-doubt in America, on Dec. 7, 1951: “When the American people woke up on Dec. 7, 1941, they were living in an age in which there still lingered some of the easy-going optimism of the nineteenth century. They still believed that without too much effort and too much pain things might be made to turn out all right. They knew about Hitler but many of them didn’t quite...
