Mittens for those bipolar days from Jack Spade.
From a recent Wall Street Journal interview with Alex Gibney, documentary filmmaker behind "Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer."
DJ: I was surprised that even though Ashley Dupré gets all the press, she wasn’t the main woman allegedly involved with Spitzer through the Emperors Club. You mention an escort named “Angelina,” who is interviewed, but portrayed by an actress in the film, as having repeated meetings with Spitzer. Dupré is referred to as not much more than a one-night stand. How did you find that out?...The day negotiations [to interview Ashley Dupré for the film] broke down, I thought ‘What am I going to do now?’ One of the main characters was refusing to appear. But sometimes, misfortune turns out to be a boon. It led me to dig deeper and I was able to get Cecil Suwall [then CEO of Emperors Club]. And I was able to find Angelina, who was a much more important character.
What was interesting about Angelina was she tells us a lot about Spitzer as a character and the escort trade. I didn’t expect that she would tell us as much as she did about the federal investigation.
DJ: And now Angelina is a commodities trader?
Gibney: Yes. She had a lot of very powerful clients and I guess they were able to teach her things about the way the market worked.
I say good for her.

The headline is a quote from a recent talk Reed Hastings, the Netflix CEO held with investors and reporters.
Reportedly, Netflix accounts for more than 20 percent of US downstream internet traffic in peak times, with the heaviest traffic falling between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m — traditional television prime time.
I stream my Netflix through my Xbox and it's pretty damn awesome. I'm so behind my "Watch Instantly" queue that I rarely remember the dvd aspect of their service. I did finally see the award-winning rock-metal documentary ANVIL which isn't available yet on streaming. It was such a rad film. I highly recommend, even if you aren't into that sort of music, which I'm not.
The MI6 chief got in trouble after his daughter posted this photo of herself holding a gold AK-47 on Facebook. The day still turned out okay because she nor he had to shoot the AK.
The paparazzi aspect of this sucks, but I kind of love this photo of Sandra Bullock walking in the West Village.
Frank Sinatra traveling in style. This is my favorite photo of the singer.
I disagree but that's neither here nor there.
Not that you should avoid your civic duties, but if you have to get out of jury duty, then claiming to be friends with serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer is a pretty handy excuse.

This article answers the question of what is the longest possible home run by a human? The official MLB record so far is held by Mickey Mantle who slammed a 565-foot home run in Washington, D.C., on April 17, 1953. But what theoretically is the longest home run someone can hit?

The In this recent New York Times article comparing IBM and Apple, I found this item fascinating.
Companies typically try to manage payments so they collect cash from customers slightly before they have to pay suppliers, thus making money by investing the cash before payments are due. Apple collects its cash in 25 days, on average, and pays its suppliers in 85 days — an extraordinary, 60-day spread that generates an extra $1 billion in cash flow a year, estimates A. M. Sacconaghi Jr., an analyst at Bernstein Research.
