Hello and Happy Thanksgiving to my American readers. I hope none of you got screwed trying to exchange cryptocurrency for [a minuscule fractional voting right to determine unspecified uses for] a copy of the Constitution. Here's some stuff that caught my eye this week, not to mention a topical (and correct) food ranking:

Item 1: a link

The Daily Heller: The Assistant, Jayme Odgers

Jayme Odgers worked closely with legendary designer Paul Rand and in this piece he tells a bunch of good stories. He doesn't come out and say it but my read is that Paul Rand, one of the 20th century's most creative designers, was also one of the 20th century's most obnoxious, demanding, supercilious managers. Anyway, did you know the FedEx logo has a secret arrow in it?
