The first thing Bobby and I found while geocaching. We didn’t find the container, but it doesn’t really matter. The clue was “Home Tweet Home.”

Sloane Crosley to Talk with Joan Didion at the New York Public Library.

Jadrien Steele at the Young Lions Club has confirmed that Sloane Crosley, the “most popular  publicist in New York” turned funniest essayist, will sit down with Joan Didion for an event at the New York Public Library this fall. Ms. Didion will publish her new memoir, Blue Nights, with Knopf in November.

The Observer was lucky enough to receive a copy of the proof at a BEA party in May. The book is about the death of Ms. Didion’s daughter Quintana, who passed away not long after the author’s husband. Without giving too much away, it is really something special, a heartbreaking book about trying to move past grief through writing. In it, Ms. Didion applies a sharp self-critical eye to her own style and speaks candidly about maintaining her directness in the face of aging. Ms. Crosley’s writing is certainly more playful, but that contrast only makes us more excited for the pairing.

I’m psyched to see whether this will be more than just a repeat of Magical Thinking.

Google’s Disappointing Decision to Hide Its Support of Gay Pride

We’ve seen Google Doodles, the artistic designs that the search giant uses to replace its logo on special days, for just about everything. Since 1998, when the first design was drawn up for Burning Man, a week-long festival in the Black Rock Desert known for the copious amounts of drugs and alcohol consumed by attendees, there have been Doodles for Sesame Street, Veteran’s Day and Vivaldi. We’ve seen Doodles for Pi Day and Pac-Man and even the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which, in some countries, can be more contentious than just about anything else.

Instead of boldly declaring its support of Gay and Lesbian Pride Month, Google added a tiny rainbow to the end of its search bar. Why, then, has Google shied away from a Doodle in celebration of Gay and Lesbian Pride Month? On June 1, when the month kicked off, there wasn’t a competing Doodle; Google just ran its standard blue, red, yellow and green logo — no purple anywhere to be found. We didn’t see our first June Doodle until the 5th of the month, when Google celebrated what would have been the 92nd birthday of Richard Scarry, creator of the Busytown series. The fictional Busytown was popular — I even wrote about it in this space — but it would be difficult to convince anyone that Nurse Nelly and Goldbug were as culturally important as the 1969 Stonewall riots in Greenwich Village that started the modern LGBT liberation movement.
