blessingx Posted June 29, 2010 Report Posted June 29, 2010 Any other Longform readers here? Just found it a few weeks ago and coupled with Instapaper makes a nice break from the regular interweb ruts. Longform.org Quote

blessingx Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Posted November 27, 2014 I'll keep posting an article every two years. Here's a great one about working at Radio Shack on Thanksgiving. http://www.sbnation.com/2014/11/26/7281129/radioshack-eulogy-stories "This is a consumer technology business that is built to work perfectly in the year 1975. The Internet comes around, and this, being a technology company, is expected to move on it aggressively and know what it's doing, except basically nobody really understood the Internet for a very long time. So they whiffed big a few times. Then the iPhone came around and rendered half the stuff RadioShack sold completely redundant. This company needed to become something radically different a decade ago. I just don't think it knows how to be anything else. It's like retracing the steps and doings of a drunk person: okay, here's where he keyed the cop car. Wait, why'd he do that? I don't know, but his pants are lying here, so this is before he stripped naked and tried to rob the library." 3 Quote
