   There's a fantastic video autobiography of Donald Knuth [1] that includes a good transcript for people like me who would rather read. This has been discussed [2] on HN previously and would be one of the links I wouldn't mind seein

   I had some minor issues with Dwolla or at least my perception of how they work that left a bad feeling for their brand and operations. A buddy paid me money he owed me through Dwolla. I made the 'mistake' of leaving it in the Dwolla account

    I was vaguely aware of some of this but had no idea of the extent of it and which products are affected. A bit of searching turns up the Agricultural Marketing Service website [1] and some of the markets affected: Fruit and Vegetables Almon

    I saw the SEO post he's referring to (it was one of the articles in SEOMoz's top 10 monthly email). Site owners don't realize the amount of work and headache they cause forum communities when they contract out SEO work without an understand

    That was my first question, what are the occasional big spikes (not the weekend drops in traffic)? Interestingly, spikes in page views and unique page views do not correspond well, although sometimes they're slightly offset from each other.
