Whoa, that's wonderful that Pogue is back at the New York Times. He's both brilliant and funny.

By David Pogue 

A few years ago, I crowdsourced an entire book, called “The World 
According to Twitter.” Every night for 100 nights, I tweeted a 
provocative question; I published the best responses. (Sample question: 
“Supply the subject line of an email you really, really don’t want to 
open.” Sample answer, from @pumpkinshirt: “To my former sexual partners, 
as required by law.”) 

But one response changed my life. I asked: “What’s your greatest 
regret?” And @susanchamplin replied that regret was her only regret. 
“Wise advice: You made the best decision you could with the information 
you had at the time.”
