I like captioning, not just as a matter of principle, but because my hearing is not always what it should be…and sometimes I like watching vids late at night with the sound way down. (also: dig the intentionally garish design!)(tags: accessibility politics)

“Earth has issues, and it’s time humanity got started on a Plan B.” nice. (this year’s Google April Fool’s joke.)

terrifying beautiful pictures. the weather is broken all over.

heh. reminds me of the notebook from high school, which I now tend to describe as a reaalllly slooooow myspace. 🙂(tags: funny blogosphere)

“We’re also confiscating your geodesic dome and your nanotubes, for bein’ sassy.” Amusing, although a better question would’ve made it a better April Fool’s joke.(tags: funny)

there are parts of our neighborhood that could benefit from this sort of thing.

Damn. I’m not entirely sure what it means, but it doesn’t look good. OTOH, clicking through, it looks like the big changes are unlikely to come anytime soon. ($DEITY willing, it won’t matter because ClinBama will be pres.)(tags: creditunion politics)

An experiment in online fiction. The first one I liked quite a bit, the 2nd one was entirely incoherent, and the 3rd was somewhat obvious. (Choose Your Own Adventure, anyone?) Curious to see what’s coming next, tho.

it would be nice if this were a tad more “scientific.” y’know, more medical descriptions of illnesses, location information, dates of illness, airlines used, etc. With a base of thousands, it could actually be an interesting research project.

::sigh:: I don’t know whether/when to upgrade.

“You know deep down that it’s ridiculous; your parents didn’t have any of this crap and you turned out fine.” no kidding. (see also: shrinking circumference of kid’s wandering, helicopter parents.)

I had not realized that Open Clip Art included lovely public domain turn-of-the(-last)-century drawings. I only wish the site were easier to search/browse.

I had no idea all the Mad fold-ins were drawn by one guy. (Now 87 yrs old) And check out the “interactive feature” – some of those foldins of the 60s & 70s in particular are sharp political commentary, too.

I want to see this movie, and yet I’m afraid to. (Fog of War is possibly one of the best movies I have seen, ever.)

Navy Federal Credit Union’s call center(s) — green design helped drop turnover from 60% to 17%. Whoa.

“If you’re going to be robbing people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep you warm.” A surprisingly lovely story.

I see only one scenario that would have made this story even more Apple-riffic: if Rose had sustained his injuries in a rumble with tech troll extraordinaire, John Dvorak.” altho one of the other commenters said he heard it was a bar fight. 😛

lovely. (check out the amended version linked in the comments, too.)

“HAI! This site provides community documentation of the emergent LOLCODE language.”

strangely, I got this from the LOL-ized version of Daring Fireball. Childhood’s End genuinely and totally terrified me in an existential way when I was in high school. I still shiver thinking about it, and I can’t even remember why.

“Spolsky’s whole pitch is basically a race for the bottom” – plus OMG ponies! 😉 also, alan’s comment is well worth the read.

“I demand documented standards with open reference implementations. That’s why I only develop with Microsoft technologies.” – one of my other favorite curmudgeons. very high snark content.

includes “brain machine” info

I kinda wish I’d been there for this one. He actually manages to make coherent points with entirely goofy slides. (Graph of cheese vs. libido?!)

very nice! that’s the kind of thing that ought to be part of the actual drupal documentation.

this is the guy I met at the higher ed meetup. very energetic, really interested in getting liberal arts students interested in technology.

this is the program he teaches in. not as much info here as I’d really want to see. such is web dev in higher ed.
