My name is James. James Del actually. I work at a place called Gawker Media, something I find myself explaining to my parents every time I see them. They'll get it one day. I don't believe in Twitter, but I do believe in Facebook and LinkedIn. There's a Myspace page out there too, but never mind that. Questions, concerns, and comments can be directed to James, At-Sign Gawker, Period Com.

I don’t know if this is a revelation to anyone else, but tonight’s discovery that snark is a combination of “snide” and “remark” is on par with: Learning to tie your shoes Understanding the ending to Memento Figuring out what causes traffic jams when there’s no accident (eradicating the old “Why doesn’t everyone just drive faster?” question) Discovering how to type “we’re” “I’ll” and periods on a Blackberry without typing the punctuation (still trying to figure out “it’s” though) Realizing that I Am The Cheese is told completely from inside a psychiatric ward Hearing another language and comprehending it immediately instead of translating it into English first

I don’t know if this is a revelation to anyone else, but tonight’s discovery that snark is a combination of “snide” and “remark” is on par with:

  • Learning to tie your shoes
  • Understanding the ending to Memento
  • Figuring out what causes traffic jams when there’s no accident (eradicating the old “Why doesn’t everyone just drive faster?” question)
  • Discovering how to type “we’re” “I’ll” and periods on a Blackberry without typing the punctuation (still trying to figure out “it’s” though)
  • Realizing that I Am The Cheese is told completely from inside a psychiatric ward
  • Hearing another language and comprehending it immediately instead of translating it into English first
