Really bad title, were you trying to optimize it for twitter? On the first read it sounded (to me) like nothing had changed, it wasn't until I actually clicked through and read the full headline that it made sense.

In the case of the article, its not even that, its reblogging. Though I don't see that as any different as the blog explosion 10 years ago. If you want to look at ruining a generation, look at subcultures wrecked by crack, heroin and AIDS.

It means your session has expired. I usually see it if I come back to the front page after a few hours (or overnight), but I have been getting it pretty regularly now. I suspect that there is a traffic spike, or maybe just more people comin

I actually bought and read the book. I was mostly interested in seeing what a self-published web-focused book would look like. I had read some of zeds other writings and work a bit with python. It took me a few sessions to get through (and

It would really help if there was some kind of overview of the game, or at least some demo cards. I have no idea what any of this is, except that they want to charge me $5 to find out more about what they are talking about.

I did this with a set of projects (mostly writing / creative) for all of 2010. It was pretty effective at first, but I definitely hit a few stretches of burnout. I was sure to record an entry for each day, but would occasionally fall behind

This seems like it is because 37signals is a primarily design driven company, while zappos is more of a backend engineering company. The design folks, like the article says, are more concerned with a clean presentation and tidy appearance,

MS doesn't have portable gaming. Sony's PSP is pretty much dead from a lot of their stupid choices. The NDS has a huge foothold and is an overall _better_ gaming option, and the 3DS looks promising. Apple will get the market of $3 casual ga
