The W
I know, I know every has hated on the Washington National’s W logo and how it looks a lot like the Walgreen’s logo but I found a logo that looks much more like National’s logo.
Seasoned son, MADE IN THE USA.
This cast iron skillet that I bought used at Eastern Market one weekend was, according to the internet, made between 1935-1959 and looks a lot like the stylized “W” in the Wagner Ware logo.
Your Email Signature
You know the email signature that you often see something along the lines of:
“Disclaimer: This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named. If you are not the named addressee you should not disseminate, distribute or copy this e-mail. Please notify the sender immediately if you have received this email by mistake and delete this e-mail from your system. Finally, the recipient should check this email and any attachments for the presence of viruses. The company accepts no liability for any damage caused by any virus transmitted by this email.”
It is complete bullshit and you should treat it as such. If you’re sending confidential information in an unencrypted manner you are goddamn negligent and it’s not my fault you don’t understand the technology you are using. Could you imagine if you put the same disclaimer at the end of phone messages or conversations in general?
Well apparently the some of the employees at Goldman Sachs aren’t very tech savvy and have used what I imagine is their immense legal department, shit tons of cash and market influence to convince Google to literally delete a message out of someone’s inbox.
This sets a horrible precedent for Gmail users as Google is now willing to delete messages from people’s inboxes without their knowledge.
If you misaddress an email the protocol should be to send a follow up message saying “Hey, I fucked up and sent you a message I shouldn’t have, it contains information that I’d rather not release, would you be so kind as to ignore/delete it and as an apology I’ll buy you a fancy dinner.”
Not really.
The Bar Code Turns 40 Today

Note this is the barcode for Pure Carob Powder 250g
DC Taxi Cab Protest
Today DC Taxi Cabs are staging a protest by causing traffic slowdowns in D.C.
Their main complaints are about services like Uber and Lyft.
- Uber will drive people out of NW on weekends
- Uber does not discriminate by race when picking people up
- Uber will drive people to SE and not claim they are off duty when asked
- Uber never claims the credit card machine isn’t working
A local taxi driver, who requested to only be identified as “Schlechter Mensch,” complained “First they moved from the zone system that I could use milk a few dollars out of people who didn’t know better, to the meters which have such high fees Manhattanites think I’m ripping them off. Then I’m not supposed to talk on the phone the whole ride.” He told me while clipping a passing cyclist and throwing a cigarette butt out of the window.
Taxi drivers in DC, whose moral compass ranks right up there war profiteers and oil executives, will likely keep on complaining about this to every unfortunate rider.
