“What kind of establishment do you think this is?”
“How dare you insult me!”
“You…
My software company, 37signals, is nearly 11 years old. But until now, it's never really had a place to call its own. For much of that time, we've been positively nomadic.

In his new book, Rick Reilly writes at length about ferret legging, a bloody endurance competition wherein the athlete stuffs a ferret down his pants. In 1987, Outside 's Donald Katz wrote the first, and still the best, ferret-legging account. Here it is. Reprinted with the author's permission. An…
The best television shows are a group effort, so it was fitting that the opening number at the Emmys on Sunday night was a fast and quite funny musical number of many. The host, Jimmy Fallon , wisely didn’t open with a version of his “Late Night” monologue, but instead returned to his “Saturday…
Christopher Poole is 22 years old, and as is often true for men his age, his mental life has been punctuated by a series of passing enthusiasms: video games, online chat rooms, Japanese animation. Currently he seems to be going through a Robert Moses phase. On the nightstand in his New York City…

He stands at the lip of the bowl, which looks like a giant, empty swimming pool, and gazes at the brand-new concrete. He plops down his skateboard and sets his left foot on top of it, rolling it back and forth a few times near the edge. Except for his blue jeans, he’s wearing…
Game 5 was the end. That was LeBron James’(notes) last night in home whites, the night he looked beaten from the first quarter, the night that crushed so many dreams in Cleveland. Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals – the clincher in Boston – was an afterthought. And looking back, so was…

T he year 1960 began calmly enough for Roald Dahl, but it would prove to be tumultuous in many ways. Kiss Kiss, his fourth collection of short stories, was published in the United States in March and stormed into The New York Times bestseller lists. As Dahl boarded the boat back from New York to…

Tony Cenicola/The New York Times WHEN fine-tuning the flavor of dishes and drinks, I’ve always turned to the usual bench of taste and aroma boosters: salt and pepper, lemon juice, herbs and spices, this or that condiment. One ingredient that never, ever came to mind was water. Water has no flavor to…

I stumbled on this unsettling story of an obscure Pokémon bootleg/art-hack that I thought might be neat to share on here. I think this originated from 4chan, so I’ve no idea if this hack actually exists. It probably doesn’t, but it’s still a great concept/tale!:
I’m what you could call a collector…
A few seconds pass. Hi, Sam, James Franco says. I feel the same low-grade thrill of intimacy I felt at our first meeting in the NYU bathroomthis time spiced with a new kind of danger. I think we’re not supposed to be talking, I say. Why, what happened? he says. Did somebody call you? Did you…
Entertainment I Was with Coco A year ago, Todd Levin got the job of a lifetime—writing for 'The Tonight Show.' Nine months later, he was packing his desk.

This morning, I sat down with Will Ferrell, Adam McKay , and Eva Mendes to discuss their new film "The Other Guys," and while I'm still under embargo about that movie, I can share what happened at the very end of my interview with McKay. I mentioned to him that I was doing this series on this site…
His hands trembled as he split the box cardboard in the dim light from the tiny barred window above his head. He had already ravenously eaten the food that was left in the Red Cross Package and now found the strength to consider another escape attempt. A previous attempt had led to failure and…

Terry Kniess has prepared. Over the back of the living-room couch, he’s draped the yellow T-shirts he and his wife, Linda, wore that fateful morning on The Price Is Right. Hers has a photograph of their beloved departed Maltese on the front: “This is my…
UPDATED: 9:34 p.m. CLEVELAND, Ohio -- During a rally for Miami Heat fans Friday night, Chris Bosh said he had been talking with new teammates LeBron James and Dwyane Wade about the moment for months. It was a slip, which some, including Bosh himself, caught. The premise that the trio had been…
The semiology and phenomenology of hashtaggery intrigues me. From what I understand, it all began very simply: on Twitter, hashtags—those little checkerboard marks that look like this #—were used to mark phrases or names, in order to make it easier to search for them among the zillions and zillions…

I remember the view from a grave. Cartoon stars spiraled in front of my eyes when I hit the damp soil at the bottom. Up there on the faraway earth, past six feet of square muddy wall, a man and a boy stared down at me—my brothers, Gary and David, both laughing. Until I slipped and fell into the…

The first thing you notice is that the iPhone 4 feels smaller in hand — the decrease in width, even more so than thickness, is quite noticeable. It feels tight. Then you turn it on, and you see the screen. Apple seems very confident about the precise size and dimensions of the iPhone display: 3.5…
