Yes, that @whitehouse.
Some favorites I put together for the Readlists launch. Readlists is an Arc90 project in collaboration with Longform. The Arc90/Readability team did a great job and I’m excited to see what people do with the tool.
Fun fact: Readlists is a modified version of an idea called Mixbooks that Max and I pitched to Y Combinator 2 years ago. It was rejected.
“The Atavist Matures as a Publisher and Platform” by David Carr, New York Times
In a phone conversation, Mr. Schmidt said he was drawn to The Atavist less by the idea than by the people who came up with it. “When you make an investment, you are betting on the team more than the idea,” he said. “If the idea is wrong, but the team is right, they will figure it out.”
Congrats to our officemates, The Atavist (who have a tumblr)

My friend Julien Raffinot spent years pasting stuff in this giant book, which I saw in apartments in Paris and Berkeley.
He scanned all 160 pages pages and I helped him put up a website: http://caverns.cc/
Smaller scans don’t really do the detail justice, but try hovering over the pages for a magnifying glass, or click to zoom.
