Had a marketing co-worker (semiconductor industry) who managed to get C-level execs to use the phrase "tea-bagging" to refer to sending hardware samples to various reviewers or journalists. It was endlessly amusing to hear in a company-wide presentation. He was so proud.

I'm sure Nate's had other career highlights since then, but that was certainly an early success.

    I'm almost halfway through In the Distance by Hernan Diaz. It's the first book of his I've read, and it's really good. I'll read his more recent book, Trust, next. My wife highly recommended that one.
