The reMail user count graph is my positive thought for today.

Vijay: what's that blogging site you can email posts to?

I had never actually seen one

There goes my brilliant business idea of marketing these in the lower 48

You have a certain amount of provisions, which you have to make last until you find a way to make the island sustain life—or convince someone to send you more.

You don't know how big the island is at first or what predators lie in wait.

There's always a chance someone else will raid your island if it looks fruitful, so you need to shore up your defenses.

Eventually, if you're successful, you'll be king of your own prosperous world. If not, you'll die—or, at least, have to go home.

Either way, it's a fun adventure (until you get eaten by a tiger).

I didn't know what to expect of this movie, but it turned out to be really interesting to watch the iron lady of fashion (Anna Wintour) make tough decisions about fashion photography. Her style of critque and the nervous way that people behaved around her - even the big names like Jean-Paul Gaultier - reminded me of one Silicon Valley pitch meeting or another. The only person who didn't take crap from her was long-time collaborator Grace Coddington.

The person who was portrayed as the most friendly, has-it together designer in the entire movie was upstart designer Thalkoon (he had a new line of clothing with Gap as the movie was filmed, and Michelle Obama has worn his clothes).

If you're hesitant to spend $10 to watch: I'm sure this movie will end up on Netflix's Watch Instantly at one point or another.

Not sure how the iPhone produced this pic
