That's vaguely related to what Canv.as is doing, except that people draw on top of images borrowed from other sources.

Check out Add-Art: http://add-art.org/ - "a free FireFox add-on which replaces advertising on websites with curated art images."

Google Bookmarks seem private by default, unlike Delicious and Pinboard; seems like you have to put bookmarks into "lists" to make them public. I've just started poking around again, and the first thing that stands out to me is that the URL

I love local-style apps like this so so much, so I'm like "OOOHHHHH time to try this out," but I don't quite know what to do with it yet. I have a bunch of geotagged photos of interesting buildings in SF and NYC on Flickr already, and I'd l

"Where do games begin? In the anarchy of paidia, we play without rules and without limits. It is amusing, creative and chaotic, but it is also short lived, as when the natural play of a toy becomes formalised, it becomes a game." http://on

They should crash and shatter, like lightcycles.

A post from 2006? Anyway, a long time ago Delicious quietly implemented experimental support of structured tags delimited by colons. You can tag things "foo:bar" and "foo:baz" and then see all of those bookmarks by looking at "system:has:fo

Both are very useful. The HTML export is in a standard format importable by browsers and other bookmarking services.

Duncan Watts ( http://www.amazon.com/Six-Degrees-Science-Connected-Age/dp/0... ) wrote about this kind of thing in a clear and interesting way.

The first thing I wanted to do was search by region - my go-to site is http://www.santabarbarahikes.com/ - but it looks like local low-key hikes like those aren't included.

Check out the Setup's "Community" page, linked from the top: http://usesthis.com/community/ - it includes a list of links to people who have answered the questions on their own blogs.

To my eyes, this journalistic storytelling style is "feature" writing -- different from "news" style, but US newspapers have both. You'll see a form of it in NYT Magazine profile articles ( http://www.nytimes.com/pages/magazine/ ).

See the article at http://articles.sfgate.com/2007-06-25/bay-area/17249021_1_wo... - They don't conduct electricity like aluminum or wet fiberglass ladders do....Aluminum or fiberglass, when it gets too hot, it gets soft; it will actually

The video says that nobody has been injured on these wooden ladders - nobody has fallen off. It's implied that none of them have broken in action. Probably worth it to them.

Yeah, I see the point of III as "Oh wait, it's not always so simple as the needs of the few vs. many - we are all connected and some needs are more important than other needs. And now that we have that settled, time for more adventure." Not

There's an odd mismatch when a person says: "I'm tired of people emphasizing youth, because actual experience is more important. And I'm only x years old!" - it undermines what you're saying. It'd also help to link to specific examples of p

Not really, since anyone working at the school in 1969 has long retired or moved on to other things, mostly forgotten by now. A lot changes in forty years. I wrote a thing about why UCSB even ended up as the third node: http://jeweledplaty

I signed up for an invite; I like the idea of FFFFOUND + Flickr galleries. (Also, the word "pinboard" keeps reminding me of my friend's text-based bookmarking site that's been around for a little while now, http://pinboard.in/ - you guys

Huh, I was just looking at Pinterest recently and it has some neat stuff on it (I spent a while exploring http://pinterest.com/shashashasha/ for example), but I'm a little confused about why Techcrunch calls it "stealth mode" when most of

Try kneeling for more than a short time - your knees will probably hate you. But you can still take short regular breaks to get up from your desk, change your position, make sure your setup is as ergonomically correct as possible, etc.

Companies who "specialize in suppressing negative content" often spam lots of social sites with their positive pages, under the (usual) misconception that this will improve search rankings. Things like that make it interesting to be a perso

This one from 1978 is the UNIX issue: http://bstj.bell-labs.com/oldfiles/year.1978/BSTJ.1978.5706-... I chose to read parts of it for a class a few years ago and found it surprisingly modern-sounding. The epigraph on the foreword: "Intell
