This is especially interesting in the light that there is now a more concerted effort to get automobiles "on the grid" Just for starters, see Shai Aggassi's blog http://shaiagassi.typepad.com/

I've got 2 issues with this post 1) Titles like "X to make you a better Y." It sounds fake and spammy and puts the locus of control outside of the reader/viewer/participant. 2) Top 10 lists which are little more than product referrer link

You should read his rationale for using Eudora. Here's a snippet: Any feature in the menu list, any action there, can be added as a button. I changed it so I have a vertical menu bar, so I can have tons and tons of pre-made buttons saved r

Maybe for "Hacker Dollars?" Hmm, what to do with hacker dollars? T-shirts with "Y" or "[A-Za-z] News?" Or pool hacker dollars together to promote and improve some charitable organizations' websites.

What you describe sounds like the restaurant (hospitality) life cycle. It's like any entertainment, if it gets stale, people move on. I also think of all those post WW2 neighborhood restaurants and bars that slowly sunk into oblivion. Here'

Does anyone know which laws (or laws) make this rule unenforceable? Joel (or the journalist) might very well be right, but I'd think one would prefer to know the law before crossing that line.

We used Shneiderman's "Designing the User Interface" book (3rd Ed) back in Human Computer Interaction class. I kept the book and still use it. The link was a lucky find because the usability post list looked a tiny bit familiar.

Hmm, that's interesting. I take back my initial assumption. The link numbers on the second column (inbound) are too low for what I was thinking. My initial thoughts were that it was the other way around (the third column, outbound), that th

I draw a parallel of what John Maeda is saying of punctuation to that of research: basic versus applied. Basic research is naturally exploratory, taking winding roads, many of which do not end at any obvious fruitful conclusion. Academia
