I follow news of the App Store guidelines pretty closely, but I can’t even keep the rules straight anymore now that they are fragmented across countries or held up in court appeals. I can’t believe all of this confusion is worth it to Apple. So much wasted time.

Nowhere on XKCD’s map of The Contiguous 41 States does it say that you need to find the missing seven states, but that’s immediately where my mind went. And it was a little more challenging than I anticipated — all of New England is present & accounted for somehow?

Nice story at Bloomberg about book reading retreats:

At Boutique Book Breaks, which take place at spa hotels across the English countryside, participants practice yoga, visit bookstores and explore the area when not quietly reading.
