I got to the cube rule via Andy Baio, who also linked to soup-salad-sandwich-space. It is my duty, however, to point out that to a real topologist, there are only four foods, not six.

True to my word, eating alone. Sardines for a solo lunch.

Uses This / Jesse Kriss

Why should I be using mobile data to stream music to a $1000 phone when I can get an MP3 player for $26 that can hold 7000 songs on a micro SD card and has 80 hour battery life? The ethical and ecological impact of cheaply made products isn't so great, but I think it's at least worth being somewhat aware of the tradeoffs we're making.

So true. And the headphone can have a jack too, if that's what you want.

Thanks for your thoughts Aaron. You raise an issue that hadn't occurred to me: being able to eat things that you don't get at home because nobody else likes those things. I do that when I'm eating out, even if I'm not alone, but yes, that works too.

Worth waiting for.
