I had a similar experience. I used it years ago, then I went back to it a little while back and ended up quitting for two reasons: 1. The gamification was too cutesy and annoying. And gamification works on me - I'm currently being held

Those charges don't look exorbitant. They seem to be inline with what PayPal charges.

The background image doesn't render on the homepage in Firefox. This makes the blog links appear as very light blue text on a white background. Makes me wonder how it renders for the crawler and whether it's getting flagged for in

Bingo bango bongo, I never noticed that. I tried saying 'fee fi fo fum' backwards and it took me about 10 times to get it right. There's almost a musical cadence to the usual order that just sounds off key when said backwards

Any idea how it compares to the hydraulic computer designed for the Pratt & Whitney J58 engine used on the SR-71 Blackbird? I saw this video (linked below) wherein a test engineer talked about the engine design. He touched a bit on the

I was curious about the sales impact of the 1984 ad, so I did a little googling. It turns out you're right (see [1] and [2]). Steve Hayden created the 1984 ad while at Chiat-Day. He later went on to work for Ogilvy, so that's prob

I think you're onto something. I went to pick up my son at the Portland airport last winter. There must have been around 100 people waiting at the baggage claims, and almost all of them were wearing black. The rest were wearing other d

Put Morse on the case. As long as there are clues that a classic education will unravel, he'll have this solved in no time.

I think it's too derivative of Fallout's computer hacking to garner that much praise.

"Respect" comes to mind. Otis Redding recorded it in 1965, and in his version, it's pretty clear that respect means sex. Aretha Franklin re-arranged it and released her version two years later. She flipped the song to be from
