Things are somewhat better, but far from the speeds we see in the more developed parts of Asia. I'm in Wellington, and get 3.5 M.bits/second downstream, with a 50 GB monthly usage cap.

I'm disheartened by the trend towards tea over the last few years. The solid kick in the pants that a cup of coffee brings is something I'm reluctant to live without.

I enjoyed your Django and OpenID talks at Webstock in 2008 - they fit the conference and audience perfectly. However Webstock is a 400 person conference hosted in a remote part of the world. I'm not convinced that the niche of conferences

He didn’t have a bad word to say about Microsoft. He was more concerned that I not write anything negative about the company than anything else. This guy's a class act. That level of professionalism is something we don't see often enough

Interesting. I'd tie de Botton's with Liz Gilbert's talk ( http://www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_gilbert_on_genius.html ) for first. For those that haven't seen it, it's really worth your time. Her speech skims across the surface of several id

It always amazes me how the best social commentary comes from those who have the least to lose. Without the artificial constraint of professionalism (or, I guess, the need to be factually accurate), Lyons somehow manages to be more honest a

I've become a fan of Merlin's writing since he posted this last December. If you enjoyed this, go read Real Advice Hurts http://www.43folders.com/2008/12/03/real-advice-hurts which speaks to some of the same issues, and struck a chord wit

It's a reaction to the Erlang overload earlier this week. Just the universe balancing itself out.

I hate to sound cynical, but we've all seen this before. Anyone can inspire and captivate with a flashy video, but these prototypes rarely get brought to market. The automotive industry is famous for this. Anyone remember the concept-car ve
