Let My People Go Surfing
Patagonia: Let My People Go Surfing - Paperback Book by Yvon Chouinard
This books gets the highly-coveted Bucky recommendation.
It’s part memoir, part history of Patagonia.com, and part corporate manifesto.
My favorite parts include the history of some of Patagonia’s products such as Synchilla fleece and Capilene base layers (my favorite).
It’s definitely a worthwhile read regardless of one’s politics. Though, liberals will love this book more than conservatives.

And that, my friends, is a wrap. For the record, the very first Uni Watch column was published in The Village Voice on May 26, 1999; this final blog post is appearing on Oct. 31, 2025. That’s a span of 26 years, five months, and five days — not a bad run for a project that I initially thought would last a couple of years at the most.
Thank you — each and every one of you — for helping to make that 26-year run possible. You all Get It™. And as the saying goes, don’t be sad that it’s over; be happy that it happened. Peace. — Paul

Dick Cheney, Powerful Vice President and Washington Insider, Dies at 84 - The New York Times — Love him or hate him. He’s one of a kind. A true model of an active vice-president.
On Sept. 11, 2001, when hijacked airliners destroyed the World Trade Center in New York and crashed into the Pentagon and into a Pennsylvania field, killing nearly 3,000 people in the nation’s worst terrorist attack, it was Mr. Cheney who took charge at the White House.

Mr. Bush, who was visiting a school in Florida as the attacks took place, was shuttled to secure locations in Louisiana and Nebraska. The vice president activated defense measures across the nation, put American forces on alert around the world and ordered the Capitol evacuated and government leaders removed to safety. From a White House bunker, he maintained continuous contact with the president and other officials and kept what many called a steady hand at the helm through the crisis.

The Case That A.I. Is Thinking | The New Yorker
I once had a boss who said that a job interview should probe for strengths, not for the absence of weaknesses. Large language models have many weaknesses: they famously hallucinate reasonable-sounding falsehoods; they can be servile even when you’re wrong; they are fooled by simple puzzles. But I remember a time when the obvious strengths of today’s A.I. models—fluency, fluidity, an ability to “get” what someone is talking about—were considered holy grails. When you experience these strengths firsthand, you wonder: How convincing does the illusion of understanding have to be before you stop calling it an illusion?
