The Negroni Is a Century Old, But Just Hitting Its Stride ?The New York Times

Once upon a time, when HODINKEE was yet young (at least in its present incarnation) we had with us a young software engineer of few words and many talents, who instituted a now forgotten ritual known as Negroni Friday (the fact that it is now but a fond, ever-green memory probably makes HR happy, but I miss the beverage and the easy congeniality it engendered). I quaffed my portion happily, giving little thought to the history of the beverage but it turns out that the Negroni is (a) much older than I'd thought and (b) "having a moment" as the phrase goes. Delicious, just intoxicating enough, and apparently foolproof, the Negroni was recently the subject of an in-depth story from the New York Times, which chronicles its illustrious history (its inventor was an Italian count) promising present, and (apparently) bright future.

Vintage Cars Meet Pool Floaties In This Artist's Kooky Midcentury Landscape ?Dwell

Here in New York, summer is in full swing. The office is HOT, leaving many of us here at HODINKEE HQ wishing we could work poolside, floating in blow-up flamingos, laptops in, well, our laps. Instead, we are suffering through a broken air conditioner and watching videos of inflatable vintage Porsche 911s hopping around Palm Springs. This video by artist Chris Labrooy, while certainly strange, brings a bit of lighthearted irreverence to the world of classic cars, as he rebuilds some of the most iconic vintage cars with pool floaty bodywork and then proceeds to set them loose around a series of mid-century homes in Palm Springs.

How Pixar's Toy Story 2 Was Deleted Twice ?The Next Web

Check out this absolutely crazy story of the time that Pixar's Toy Story 2 was nearly erased from history, twice. Chronicling the length that Pixar employees went through to save an accidentally deleted Toy Story 2 ?only to then later delete it anyways ?this feels like the worst case example of accidentally deleting your homework. As a software engineer, reading this story gave me some serious heart palpitations at the thought of losing 90% of a project over a simple accident. Back up your files, folks.

How To Scare A Crow - The New York Times

The animal kingdom is a weird, wild place. It's easy to forget though that you don't have to go to some far-flung corner of the globe to uncover insane behavior from other creatures. Take the common crow, for instance. It turns out that they can distinguish individual human faces, are vindictive against both humans and other crows and are extremely hard to scare off. I won't spoil the article too much, but the fact that "you need variability and unpredictability" should tell you what direction this is going in. Enough said ?read the story and keep an eye out for any local crows.

Let's Talk About Margins - Medium

One of the cool things about working at Hodinkee is being on the periphery when it comes time to produce our magazine. Watching the creative process is like being inside an Aaron Sorkin drama, albeit a good chunk of the script involves things like painstakingly going back and forth over copy, mulling over photography, feeling the weight and quality of the paper, and the sprint to the finish as the final proof sets sail for the printer ?you know, stuff that's probably not great for TV. In the publishing world, sometimes the beauty lies in what DOESN'T get printed: margins, space and emptiness is where the emotion comes from. As this article argues, (and as all Hodinkee readers know), "giving a #%^* is the best feeling you can imbue craft with."?/p>
