> A few blocks away from Apple's bustling campus in Cupertino is a rather nondescript building. Inside is absolutely the last place on earth you'd want to be if you were an iPhone. It's here where Apple subjects its newest models to the kinds of things they might run into in the real world: drops, pressure, twisting, tapping. Basically all the things that could turn your shiny gadget into a small pile of metal and glass.

*** Why Cooking Sucks ***

Sarah Miller, Cafe

> When I finally went to bed after hours of cooking and cleaning up, having achieved absolutely nothing — having impressed no one, including myself, with the food I made — I said to my boyfriend, "Cooking is really stupid." He said that he agreed. I said that I was never cooking again. He said he thought that was a great idea. I said, "I have to make homemade tomato sauce with C on Saturday. And I have to make some more galettes because the last ones sucked."
> "That sounds like a lot of cooking," he said.
> "I know," I said. "I'm going to make the galettes and the sauce and then, I am never cooking again."



*** The Body Electric ***

Ferris Jabr, OutsideOnline.com

> Every year, more than 500 Americans will be struck by lightning—and roughly 90 percent of them will survive. Though they remain among the living, their minds and bodies will be instantly, fundamentally altered in ways that still leave scientists scratching their heads.



*** A Column Is A Half-formed Thing ***

Russell Smith, The Globe And Mail

> Come on, read, now, come, blow your brain, they say to my stuffybrain, in the morning with the toast and the child, the getting the child to school now, and the mayor they say is sick, and the deadlines, don’t pay attention: Read, I must. Others all have.
> Feel ashamed: so much not reading in stuffybrain. Must read more. I remember, I can, the reading of books like this, in the quiet. Used to read wordmuddle books all the time, school, I remember, love of books, wordmuddle, poetry. My bright neurons all firing. Love.
> No smartphones there were then. No Real Racing 3.
