Welcome to the eleventh edition of The Three Things presented by Michael Schechter, Howie Goldfarb, and me.

Just a little more than two weeks until Christmas. Are you ready? I was buying shampoo and conditioner yesterday and the clerk asked me if my shopping was finished. I laughed and said, “I haven’t even started.” Thank heaven for the Internet!

For those of you new to this series, The Three Things arrives in your inbox on Sunday mornings (unless you don’t suscribe, but that can easily be fixed if you hurry over and enter your email address or add to your RSS feed) so you have some extra time to spend perusing the obscure content we’ve curated for you (and one another) before your week begins and deadlines, meetings, and work takes over.

Enjoy! (more…)
