I remember #NaNoWriMo's innocent early days of simply cranking out a terrible first draft without your internal editor interfering, and then watched in disappointment over the years as it became institutionalized and started taking itself way too $eriou$ly.

Next time you're tempted to attribute some sort of vast conspiracy to Google, remind yourself that somehow an office, where people needed to use wifi, was designed in such a way that the whole thing would obstruct radio propagation, and then it got built, and then Google put workers inside it, and finally they figured out why wifi wasn't working. These are not the masterminds of any vast conspiracy, I promise.
