Peter Kafka, All Things D


> If the growth sustains, it means that the predictions we’ve been hearing for a decade and a half have finally come true: Digital sales are increasing fast enough to outpace the decline in physical. Last year, digital grew 9 percent and accounted for 34 percent of revenue.

Now, isn't this better than suing grandmas while sticking your fingers in your ears?

> Legal forms, letters, and other documents are progressively migrating to digital media; however, the need for applying a signature to them is often still a requirement. While you can print these forms out, sign them and then fax, scan, or e-mail them after signing, another option is to apply a digitally saved version of your signature.

**** Home, Where The Fizz Is ****
<http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/27/dining/hacking-home-soda-making-machines.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&_r=0>
Julia Moskin, New York Times


> Curious cooks have begun hacking carbonators, the soda-making machines that are proliferating in American home kitchens. Most buyers are happy to use them for their intended purpose: turning tap water into sparkling water. But off-label, they have been used to make herb-infused sparkling wine, newfangled sangria, heady cocktails and nonalcoholic — but intoxicatingly delicious — sodas.



**** The Sacrificial Butter ****
<http://theamericanscholar.org/the-sacrificial-butter/#.US0xhKXXct_>
William Deresiewicz, The American Scholar


> A decent cook can do a decent job, but great achievement still necessitates great skill. Food is molecules, not bits—which also means it can’t be digitally copied, shared, pirated, or sent across the Web. And that may be the secret of its status now.
