- Just to brighten your day.
- This is not an endorsement (though I'm sure it's at least interesting if it's from Seth Godin). More a reminder to myself to check it out from home later.
- This article shows examples of a number of pull quote and block quote styles used around the web. Interesting to look at not because you should automatically do what most people do, but because you get a definite benefit out of adopting a style that people are already familiar with. Users don't need to relearn what something means if they've seen...
- "I AM MINISTRY OF THE TREASURY OF THE REPUBLIC OF AMERICA. MY COUNTRY HAS HAD CRISIS THAT HAS CAUSED NEED FOR LARGE TRANSFER OF FUNDS OF 700 BILLION OF YOUR DOLLARS (US). IF YOU WOULD ASSIST ME IN THIS TRANSFER IT WOULD BE MOST PROFITABLE TO YOU."
- "And Internet Explorer supported frames, and yet was not Mozilla, and so was not given frames. And Microsoft grew impatient, and did not wish to wait for webmasters to learn of IE and begin to send it frames, and so Internet Explorer declared that it was “Mozilla compatible” and began to impersonate Netscape..." - pretty funny
- Yes I *do* want to close this tab! I'll save you the suspense: defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugConfirmTossingUnsubmittedFormText NO
- Ah TUAW - I love your headlines. Here's the money quote: "If those disappointed with the service choose to flee, then perhaps the server load will decrease, and performance will improve for the rest of us." Dare to hope!
- User-submitted icons for a bunch of web apps, intended for use with the standalone-browser-for-an-app app, Fluid. Sixent icon needed...
- My unspoken suspicion was that Apple really just doesn't have much experience with building Web applications. Yes, they have the Store and their main website, but these don't really have very much interactivity and the infrastructure required would be completely different from the MobileMe apps. The linked article is from Chuq Von Rospach, who...
- “One thing that’s very broken in the social tools we have right now is context and boundaries and a sense of who I want to share what with,” said Liz Lawley, director of the laboratory for social computing at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Many social-networking sites essentially force users to become part of a huge community, or they...
- I thought this might be interesting to some of the recent converts at Ramius (and beyond). She goes over the pros and cons of each with an aim to helping you decide which is better for you. Here's an interesting quote: "If the main reason you have a BlackBerry is to check your email across multiple accounts (let’s say work & personal),...
- It's not so much charging for this... it's the obvious lack of respect for their customers that leads to the crapware infested default version in the first place. Charging for it does tip them a little more towards the "evil" side of the scale though.
- This is a nice, simple app for drilling yourself on hiragana and katakana. It flashes up the character, and you click on the romanized pronunciation of that character. I said it was simple, right? And free...
- This is an amazing free app to help you learn a language. It provides basic training and testing on vocabulary. There are dozens of modules available (including several for Japanese), and you can make your own to help you reinforce what you're learning in class (or on your own). One really nice feature lets you put quizzes right on your iPod. It's...
- This is a great place to start - lessons, hiragana, katakana, kanji, cultural notes, audio. It has it all. The UI is a little cluttered, but if you go into the "Start Learning" tab, things are pretty well laid out.
- Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a...Nov 3, 2008Details
