These are a few of my favorite things
I started using Instapaper on a plain ol’ iPod—I know, right?—around June, and I’ve since starred about 180 items, a number that, for the most part, doesn’t include the people and places I can’t not read: The Awl, and pretty much everything about it; Deadspin, particularly every word from Tommy Craggs and Katie Baker; The Journal’s sports section, because, among other...
