American Apparel
streeter: I went shopping today for all new clothes and one of my stops was at American Apparel. Now, I’m a pretty big dude and the stuff there isn’t exactly made for larger ladies or gentlemen.

What's a good "starter" Mac?
marco: Casey Liss asks: I’m can feel myself start to buckle under all the peer pressure. I’m strongly considering buying my first Mac. For all you fanboys, self-proclaimed and closet alike, what do you recommend? While I probably could blow $2k+ on a MacBook Pro, I don’t want to. I’d like to do something nice, but on the cheaper side. I’m considering the $1300 MacBook that has the DVD burner. On...

Team Work
tinybit: I am not an athlete but recently my friend Will made a very intriguing sports analogy that made a lot of sense to me. Will just started a new job at an ad agency. He was told that this would be a great job for him if he liked teamwork, which he does. After only a few weeks at his new job he came to the realization that there are two distinct types of teamwork: a relay race and a...
