heh - a bit off topic, but Grist was the first place I ever applied for a software job. I was a high school student looking for a summer internship. I remember bombing that phone interview (I was asked about some JS semantics, and then I badly described what a hash table was). They also had a code challenge that you had to email the output to to some hiring address; was a cool way to do it.

Nice to see they're still around, 8 years later.
