It's even worse than it appears..

I have a very large head.#
  • Normal hats don't fit. Not even close.#
  • So I buy my caps from BigHatStore.com.#
  • In prep for my trip to Ottawa later this month for WordCamp Canada, my first trip out of the country in a long time, I wanted to get a new hat. #
  • They don't have a big selection of NBA hats, so there's no Knicks hat that fits my head.#
  • And they didn't have any Mets hats for some reason. #
  • I thought -- I'll get a Wisconsin hat! I went to grad school in Madison and loved it there. You know Fuck em Bucky! But they didn't have any Wisconsin hats either. #
  • I was dejected, but noticed they did have Harvard hats. #
  • So I got one. #
  • Which reminds me of a joke a famous VC told when we were walking around on the Stanford campus in 2004. #
  • It goes like this...#
  • How can you tell someone went to Harvard?#
  • Pause.#
  • I give up.#
  • They tell you!#
  • Haha. #
  • Or they wear a Harvard baseball cap. #
  • I plan to tell that joke a few times, while wearing the cap. :-)#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
