Last night I was looking for a replacement to the car I bought one year ago. Specifically a lower ‘trim level’ that guarantees no touch screen. I hate the touch screen that much. This articles concludes they will improve when evidence suggests not.

5 Things I Learned From My Amtrak Writer’s Residency | Scott Berkun

2. I was fortunate enough to win an Amtrak writer's residency a few years ago and rode from Washington D.C. to Seattle. It was amazing despite how limited service was at times. A much better way to see America than by highway in many ways.

1. I'm excited by the prospects of investments like these. The history of Amtrak is rough (it was born from big compromises that hindered its potential and has been beat up since) but the payoffs from non-car infrastructure are usually worth it.

I Called Off My Wedding. The Internet Will Never Forget | WIRED
