The idea of "flipping" the card over so you can see lots of details fixes my main beef with Pivotal Tracker: everything is so tiny (seriously, attach a screen shot and try to look at it) and you only get a certain amount of space for commen

Yes, and so does Protovis. But you don't interface with SVG directly. To draw a circle in Raphaël, you use Raphaël.circle. In Protovis, you use pv.Dot. To draw a circle in D3? svg:circle.

Unlike Raphaël or its predecessor library Protovis ( http://mbostock.github.com/protovis/ ), D3 uses SVG as the graphical representation. This is more verbose, but is actually really powerful, because there's no translation between what you

D3 is getting a lot of love lately! I like this tutorial as it nicely explains how to use events and animation. If you missed it, I wrote a D3 tutorial two weeks ago that shows how to do basic charting: http://www.recursion.org/d3-for-mere

Nothing wrong with pair programming, but it sure is easier to be "a profitable company that had two programmers sitting in front of one computer, writing code, together" if the company charges by the hour!

His taking the money and auctioning it for charity DID make the experiment more interesting, but I understand the anger. Partially, it's the amount he took took, as you say. $100 would have been more reasonable. I think it was also Sam's to

I wrote this using WebKit (where it looks as I said) and didn't see the differences in rendering until after I was done. I will add a note about browser rendering differences.

I started on this before hearing about Programming for Mere Mortals ( http://stevenf.com/pages/book.html ). I was sort of bummed by the similar names but decided to keep mine because I tried to start from the beginning.

Part of this stems from a pre-internet mentality. "Of course I need a full function reference! Where else would I find it?" Now you just Google it. A thinner book can leave the reference to the search engines, but for some reason this older

This is one of those "life changing" videos. I'm not sure about the whole paleo diet thing, but I'm pretty sure humans didn't evolve to eat large quantities of sugar.

Yes, a thousand times, yes. This is great, I hate having to dig up a fax machine when I want to fax something. Unless I can find one at an office, I have to go to Kinkos, because I don't even have a phone line.
