Our interview with Dr. Peter Green from the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University was a huge success (and a bit of a disappointment for my sister).

I really like this kind of stuff. Random trivia, tech ideas, cool tips, hacks and items like this one today where I learn I’ve basically been driving wrong for, well, as long as I’ve been driving.
