“this new feature has actually RUINED CHRISTMAS for my family” — ouch. although not terribly surprising. that’s why I wouldn’t think of sharing. (although, yes, I do use del.icio.us, but there I KNOW what I’m saving is for the whole world.)

very clear! (sometimes I miss getting Tom’s subscription to the economist.)

“After looking at all of the research, I couldn’t find a single reason to keep my crisper.” no kidding. I’m thinking about moving yogurt cups into one and wacky little condiments (or butter?) into the other.

interesting, although not very surprising. but: “ALT tag”?! never mind that it’s the wrong terminology, the real problem is that their “solution” cuts screen-reader folks out of the ability to use online banking at all. has nobody thought about that?

“I believe that every single person on the planet would benefit from talk therapy” — also, the last paragraph rawks.

“The Richter Scales guys are not evil, they were just lazy.” — I also like what Shelley had to say about the kerfuffle. (linked in the comments) OTOH, IMO I wouldn’t read any of the comments sections, things just get noisy to no good end.
-
“I wish The Web Standards Project would either disband or get meaningfully busy.” — from Z, down in the comments. whoa. IMHO, the problem with web standards now remains education of developers outside of the standards community. but that’s a rant for ano(tags: standards)

“POLI 30 – Political Inquiry * Professor Thad Kousser” — the very, very, very few people who have known me since jr high will be amused at how much I like his teaching style. the first couple of podcasts have a good explanation of correlation vs. causati

“The idea is for everyone I’ve ever known […] to meet up in one place at a specific time in 2011” – Yes, I will be there. Oh, and sometime in 2010, probably March, C & I will finally have an actual wedding party. (whoa. that’s only 2 yrs from now!)(tags: personal)

🙁 I met Anita once, in Nov. 2002 at a panel about blogging & journalism, and she left a couple of comments in my blog long ago. I always wanted to talk to her again, but going to meetups in Seattle or on the eastside is such a freaking hassle.(tags: blogosphere)
