Sigh. I really wish the media would start covering things like this. Imagine the nation panicking over caged science - no publisher would be able to withstand the onslaught. Instead, we're stuck with reality show politics.

How do you get the data? I assume none of these people have added rround; I also assume you don't have access to the Twitter firehose...

And hopefully something will, soon. We can't build or maintain a country with our history degrees, and my generation has yet to realize it. Say what you will about the value of the humanities, but I can't help but suppress a "you fool!" e

These kinds of things can't be taught with the kind of discreteness that I think you'd like. You need that design sense first and foremost; once you have that, you can sniff out the fonts that suit your design. The best way to get that "sen

A favicon. I just want a favicon. Every single bookmark in my bar has an icon, and no words, and ALL I want is a favicon! Readability doesn't have it; neither does Readable. Makes things much uglier, no matter how pretty the text is. A gold

"Magical thinking includes all systems of magic, as it includes the idea of mental causation, i.e. the possibility of the mind having an effect on the physical world directly." We actually already do this. We all believe that our minds will

This is cute, but personally, I've never been a fan of password character requirements. Laissez-faire, and all that...the Internet has no business telling me how to secure my profiles!
