The graphics are amazing, but it's a bit grindy. :)

You can't invest in the product -- not if it's really new, never seen before. You have no way to evaluate it, so you invest in the team. The team at Color has a proven track record; if the product is bogus, the will be able to pivot. Color is a good investment, but a little out of my price range.

But plinth is a perfectly cromulent word.

I see why URL shorteners are banned.

Moving to El Paso.

It seems that the peak on the map is always one(arbitrary unit). The use of a logarithmic scale from one thousandth to one thousand; yet only using half of the scale seems disingenuous at best.

Seed corn is tasty, it also has more protein.

You don't have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun the other guy. (and the other guy is a billion-strong bureaucracy.)

Make it a game:

* 1 point for each number

* 2 point for each letter

* 3 points for each symbol

* first of each class counts for five (caps count as a separate class)

"your password score is 32 points, which places you in the top 10 percent. User bschnier is ahead of you by 10 points."

XML is like violence. If you see too much of it early on, you will start to think it's normal. It will scar you for life.

Happens in Android browser, too. Whose bright idea was it that I didn't need to be able to read my phone without holding to my face, or stretch the screen so I can hit that tiny checkbox?

Pulls the same crap on Android. "Use desktop user agent" ftw.

The 3d effect doesn't work on my nexus one. I am a very sad octocat. :-(

Remember that life is not a race, neither is investing.

Sweet.

Not really. The nice folks at Adobe would have you believe otherwise, but at low color depths, low image sizes, low skill levels; the difference isn't worth 5$, much less (googles) 999$ (before 100$ rebate. Unless you are making a lot of images, _and_ relying on them to make money, gimp is more than enough.

Actually, this IS what I read for fun. (instead of Getting Things Done) So bring on the Tech links! I don't have to be anywhere till Sunday.

I just skip over the repeats. I'm still new here so I probably haven't read all of them. And, after all some things bear repeating.

I have my NoScript set to allow %site.com and *.%site.com by default. It leaves most sites usable, but blocks most of the bs. I only have to white list somethinsomethingCDN.com rarely. (less than five sites) That and googleapis, jquery, not much else. Read the docs and adjust the settings accordingly.

There is no parody of over-security sufficiently over the top and paranoid that it cannot be mistaken for the real thing.

i think creativity increases as you have more experiences (plural) to draw inspiration from.
