Is Moleskine Replicable?
Alex Mayyasi on the Priceonomics blog:
In short, Moleskine is not selling a notebook, it’s selling customers on the identity of being the type of person who uses a moleskine - someone whose cultured globetrotting is reminiscent of Hemingway.
Yep.

The Owl Comes Into Its Own
Natalie Angier for NYT on the always-fascinating topic of owls:
Other researchers are tracking the lives of some of the rarer and more outlandishly proportioned owls, like the endangered Blakiston’s fish owl of Eurasia. Nearly a yard high, weighing up to 10 pounds and with a wingspan of six feet, Blakiston’s is the world’s largest owl, a bird so hulking it’s often mistaken for other things, according to Jonathan Slaght of the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Russia program. It could easily look like a bear in a tree or a man on a bridge.
Or maybe Ernest Hemingway.
Mildly terrifying.
