When I was in college, I wore a nerdy green backpack, but ten years later, backpacks are back!

What's your secret to a great bed?
Many people I know are smitten with their beds, but I've never loved the beds I've had. My beds have just felt like places to sleep (and/or lie awake obsessing about something random:).

Annoying words
When Kurt Andersen took over as editor of New York Magazine, he wrote a list of all the words he found annoying and told his staff not to use them during his tenure.
