Tomorrow, it’s Prague - and if it’s possible to have too much pork or too much beer, this is where that would happen. As you’ll see, I hope, it’s spectacularly beautiful there and the food, while a bit on the heavy side, is, in fact, delicious. But if ever a place had me craving a salad, this was it. If you commit a homicide as a vegan, they should sentence you to the Czech Republic. That would teach you the error of your ways. Death by sausage. Anthony Bourdain

Arguments of Technical People Against the iPad, No 1:

“I am a coder, and I learned my chops on systems of type X, ergo any new coders and tinkerers of the futures can and should discover their passion for code the same way. Change is bad because I can’t contemplate the possibility that anything but the systems and standards I grew up with will produce coders. And therefore everything must remain the same and all devices and systems must be identically open so that one day, somewhere, a new coder may be born. Because any encounter with a closed or proprietary system will break their little hearts and doom software development for ever.”

Orson Welles on Citizen Kane and Rosebud (via Kottke.) Fantastic interview (despite the interrupting interviewer). It takes something special to puff on a cigar, drink from fine china and hold forth the way he does in this.
