As far as photography goes, Jordan and Kevin Garnett are the best I’ve seen in front of a camera. They never change their posture or their faces.

Great piece on the debacle of the Groupon IPO:

What a turnabout from a few months earlier, when Groupon was the talk of Wall Street.

Good read though, Instapaper it if you don’t have time to read it now.
