Episode notes

When designing InstaPaper back in the day, I had like one main content column. And then off to the right, I had a little sidebar. Anything that you put in a place that usually is an ad in most layouts, like a big leaderboard on top or something like that, people just will not see it. So they just need to make tanks look like giant punch the monkey. Like medium rectangle size. That's not a soldier. It's a skyscraper. The military should use it for camouflage. Dazzle is very big out here.
