Minutiae

A great link from my friend Ben:

U.S. President George W. Bush writes a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a Security Council meeting at the 2005 World Summit and 60th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York September 14, 2005. World leaders are exploring ways to revitalize the United Nations at a summit on Wednesday but their blueprint falls short of Secretary-General Kofi Annan’s vision of freedom from want, persecution and war.

See if you can read what he’s writing! If you’re having trouble, here’s a closeup.

Priceless! The best part is the “Is this possible?” line. As Ben put it, “CAN YOU MAKE THIS HAPPEN FOR ME?”

Haha. Also, last night, nytimes.com had a typo on its main page:

(“Stationary” with an “a” means, of course, “not moving”; they wanted “stationery” with an “e”.) Since I am apparently a grammar/spelling freak, I emailed them about the mistake. I received only an automated response. But then this morning the blurb was gone! Ah, the ways in which I try to make my life interesting.
