I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning: I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages. We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others. There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader’s doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views. Today, the internet does that job. I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity. I offered David Shipley, whom I greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter. I suggested to him that if the answer wasn’t “hell yes,” then it had to be “no.” After careful consideration, David decided to step away. This is a significant shift, it won’t be easy, and it will require 100% commitment — I respect his decision. We’ll be searching for a new Opinion Editor to own this new direction. I’m confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America. I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and news opinion. I’m excited for us together to fill that void. Jeff

Google Calendar ought to have a UI to go straight to a video meeting instead of having to see the detail of the meeting and then click something.

@r00k @Noahpinion Is it loaded up with images that might look bad on a Kindle? [Or mostly words . . . I hope.]

It seems to take a long time for speakers to realize that the mic really needs to be close to one's mouth. And some people never figure it out.

In Chrome, that thing where you accidentally press Command Q when you meant Command W.

I just had the best customer service call ever -- with @usbank. No wait to get picked up, and the agent understood right away what I couldn't figure out, which was complicated, involving two accounts, earlier mistaken communications, etc.

Matthew Modine did a great job in Oppenheimer, but the movie did not communicate very well (to me at least) that he was playing Vannevar Bush [!!!]

@hhavrilesky Grinnell. Great value/affordability, quality, intellectual climate . . . maybe a little less on innovation. The commitment of the alumni depends on the grad year. Schools I know super-well (for context): Grinnell, Harvard, Macalester, Ohio State . . .dm for more.
