    Also, this RFID/Barcode box thing has been going on for a while now. Golf Digest has had it, and I doubt it's doing wonders for their renewal rates. #esquire

    I know people love to lament how Esquire has worsened considerably since the "good old days" or whatever, but since I wasn't around for those and therefore have no basis for comparison (kind of like early SNL) I must say that month after month, I continue to find Esquire fanfreakintastic. Love the fiction, the "funny joke from a beautiful woman," the one-page celebrity interviews, pretty much any article by Tom Chiarella...all in all, I find it to be one of the most quality publications out there.

    I realize none of that addresses the real subject of the post, but the reliance on technology to enhance a hard-copy publication makes me unspeakably sad. Especially since I don't own a webcam. #esquire

    @DahlELama: I love Esquire as well. Why is it that "mens" magazines are so much more interesting than "womens" magazines? Oh yeah, because they recognize a world beyond romance and weight loss. #esquire

    @DahlELama: I have to agree with you, for the most part. It's still my favorite magazine to read, but I think it has fallen off a bit from 2001-2003, when I could read it cover-to-cover as soon as it came.

    As for the "glory days", get any book by George Lois, and you'll have your fill. It was good stuff, but you can only read so much old news. #esquire

    @kepster: Discovering men's magazines in college was an utter revelation. Funny how none of them ever devote more than 2 pages to "How to Please Your Woman," "How to Lose 10 Pounds," or "437 Grooming Products You Need to Buy Right Now or You Will Become a Hideous Beast That No One Will Marry." Kind of makes you wonder what the content of women's magazines could be... #esquire

    "We didn't execute. They took us out of our game. All we can do is learn from this and go forward. We left it all on the field. We got the doubleyah, so the stats aren't important. We can't think about the playoffs; we have the Panthers coming in this week. If we continue to play our game, we can build on this. I don't agree, but it's the coach's decision, so all I can do is move forward and learn from it. They were hungrier than we were. I'm very sorry (to have been busted) and hope to learn from this and move forward and I support the commissioner's report that really cannibalism has no place in the NFL ... " #media

    You could have just titled this post 'Fcuk Farmtown'.

    Actually, Adobe Flash or Farmtown, which is a bigger boil on the internet's @ss? Discuss.

    The new login system so flummoxed me that I accidentally signed up for Twitter, Facebook and a year of any magazine that's not dead yet.

    And some hand sanitizer (which I actually could use).

    The Disneyfication of Times Square actually has a legit Disney root... they purchased, shut down, and cleaned up several grindhouse theaters in the early 90's along 42nd street. I recall walking through there right after it began... the boarded up theaters were painted bright, cheery colors.
