  I know which city used to be Constantinople, thanks to They Might Be Giants!

  How appropriate. You’ve aged like a cow.

  I’ve found it helpful at work for things like preparing agendas for meetings, or creating an outline of a presentation or document I need to write.

  I’ve also found it helpful when I’m trying to Google something where I need to be pretty specific and then I can’t find exactly what I mean by searching.

  Here’s something totally bizarre that you might it might not care about.

  The other day I brought up Metroid on the Nintendo Switch NES app (the one that lets you play some NES games with an online subscription.) After playing for a bit, I wanted to show him the Justin Bailey code. But I couldn’t remember it exactly at first. So I tried it in various cases, and when I enter the code with all lowercase letters, it crashed the game.

  No idea if it’ll do that for everyone, or if it did that on the actual NES, but I tried it a few times and it crashed everything.

  For reference, I entered in the code like this:

  justin bailey
  ------ ------
  

  But the actual code is:

  JUSTIN BAILEY
  ------ ------

  I received the offer on my 16 year old Reddit account, but not on another account I have that’s more like 12. Not sure if they went by account age or activity or what.

  I did not try to get in on the IPO.
