FBML came up in conversation the other day, and I got curious. Seems pretty straightforward. I guess the ease of use is why there so many dumb little apps.

“One of the inspirations for the Don Draper character in the AMC show Mad Men was Draper Daniels, who was the creative director at Leo Burnett in the 1960s. His wife talked to Chicago Mag about her life with him.”
This is a must read. The courtship between Janco and Daniels is like it is out of a movie.

“The 140-character limit of Twitter posts was guided by the 160-character limit established by the developers of SMS.
