Hi, M.S. In my experience, the best way to get from Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City is via airplane. The overland routes are terrible. Same for […]
Somehow I fear this hat will not be a commercial success.
RideAccidents.com “is the world’s single most comprehensive, detailed, updated, accurate, and complete source of amusement ride accident reports and related news.”

The best piece of journalism I’ve read in a long time is David Foster Wallace’s “Host,” a long-form (make that looooong-form: it’s 22,500 words, with lots and lots of footnotes within footnotes) look at the conservative talk radio industry.
Sadly, the article’s in the April Atlantic, and the full text isn’t available on their site. […]
