PSA

“It’s on. You’re going to get SOOOOOOOO fat.”
– New HBW employee Scott, threatening to leave his box of Samoas directly between us (on day 1 of our office’s Biggest Loser contest). He’s new to Tumblr, too. You should follow him, because he’ll probably follow you back, and then you can fill his dash with pictures of oreo-stuffed...

theotherjen: “Parents appreciate Windsor Court because it has a driveway that allows them to drop off comfort packages without hunting for a parking space. Heather Katz’s parents — a dentist and a psychotherapist from Long Island — have dropped off her winter wardrobe, a television and a jewelry box. “For people like me it’s really easy,” Ms. Katz said, “because your parents take the tunnel and...

You know what's better than a snow day??
nyminute: A snow day being announced the night BEFORE! Even though there’s nothing like the excitement of the 5am phone call, I will happily take this opportunity to sleep in, thank you very much! You all should’ve seen Chiara’s face light up a couple of hours ago at reBar, when Aaron says “So guys, tomorrow’s a snow day,” …and then, the depths to which her...

From Adult Education, your favorite useless lecture series: According to Brian Williams, the biggest media story of 2010 was the New York Times’ discovery of Brooklyn. But what do we really know about this borough? Quora’s no help, so I’m looking for two more talks on the topic of “Brooklyn” for the February 1 edition of Adult Education. I’ve already got...

take these lies and make them true
Our shared office playlist had a particularly schizophrenic day today. This morning I bypassed it completely and put on the new Decemberists album (thanks, NPR!); then Schechter put on a Rufus Wainwright Grooveshark station that he used to play nonstop this summer when we had a team of three and a tiny little office.
