Top notch ideas from Andy! And I love how he turns a lemon into lemonade (re: copyright violations).

If a friend visits Sweden and brings me back a tube, I'm good to do a review...

This will be very helpful for anyone promoting small towns - or big towns!

Say vs. do ... only one remote-worker job opening for your company out of 30-ish jobs.

Judith, visit "Toothpaste Museum" via a Google search & you'll see more fun toothpastes!

No worries! Your article is very balanced.

My only hesitancy about advertising overlords ruling the feeds is that the randomness of discovery is missing. Your analogy of self-driving cards was a good one - but the possibility of danger is part of our freedom. Likewise, the possibility of seeing an ad we normally wouldn't choose makes our lives more interesting.

Good stuff, David.

Re: A return to Paradise - thoughts on fine pens and longhand

I love good pens. I *like* fountain pens but like you, I don't have the patience to keep up with them. The latest ballpoint I like is here: http://pmerrill.com/reviews...

Love the idea of simplifying. An ironic aspect of doing that is how complicated it can be to simplify. But once the time is put in, the rewards can be great.

Best of luck! I'll enjoy following the results of your new direction.

The Schneider Rave XB is without a doubt the finest ballpoint on the planet. My review: http://pmerrill.com/reviews... and it's less than $5 from Office Depot.

Re: Paul Merrill's Tumblr (My Summary of the new iPhones)

They are offering the 4S here too. The difference between the 5C & 5S, when converted to pounds, is about $125 - so the difference is actually less here. The colors and "friendliness" of the 5C may appeal to some, whereas the technologically advanced features of the 5S will appeal to others.

Bruce - I think the new changes are too little to make much of an impact on the market. I *do* think that the $99^ price for a new phone will draw in some people that their previous $199^ new-phone entry point deterred.

(^That's USA pricing - I know very little about UK & rest-of-world mobile phone pricing models.)

Glad you found my post on chamomile toothpaste! (It's always fun to find new local toothpastes.)

Thanks for all the great memories, Google.

Kind of an oblique response, but here you have it: As C.S. Lewis famously said (paraphrased), "the moment we think we're being humble, we're no longer humble."

Awesome that you are willing to downsize. That's so anti-American ... but you will feel so much more free after it's gone. Here's my reflection on that: http://pmerrill.com/2010/09...

It's shift-enter for me (on a Mac).
