some people got a half-day off work today – lucky them. most people are just counting down the minutes till the holiday weekend. make the time go faster by checking out these stories:

-> does anyone proofread anymore? little girls reading this book wouldn’t understand what the little boys are giggling about [amazon]

-> very interesting picture of an ant, very high-res and very close-up [gigapan.org]

-> good list of photography tools for macs. most are pay-for, but there are some freebies in there [appstorm]

-> ny times article about some good burgers around the country, including a mention of a couple restaurants in the city and healdsburg. my advice to you is to NOT read this before you have food in your stomach because it will make you very hungry [ny times]
