My algorithm would say: - reject generic shapes and cliches seen ad nauseum in 99d contests: Astralify, black21, #64, KamNy - promote designs that attempt to communicate transformation: #73, wenk, #31, #28, #25, #15 - promote designs that w

You don't say where your passports are from, but if you're in Europe, there's London. There are many startup and entrepreneur events on meetup.com, such as minibar, london bloggers. Also, in terms of a geographical 'valley', there's Silicon

I recommend out-law radio ( http://www.out-law.com/page-7212 ), a weekly podcast by a law firm covering technology/law matters EDIT: Oh, there's also A History of the World in 100 Objects ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/ahistoryoftheworld/ )

My initial thought was that this idea sucks - would you want to be remembered as the couple who sent out facebook invitations because you were too broke/tight to do this properly, this once-in-a-lifetime event? But then, could your suggesti

I've used yourfonts before at work to generate fonts from handwriting. It's easy to use and about $10 - though bear in mind that it renders as individual letters, so the observant guests will twig that you've cut a corner on thank you notes

It sounds like a trolling headline - he himself acknowledges the value of what he has learnt. Some suggested in his comments that he should join a firm so that knowledge and experience could be shared towards finding the algorithm[s]. His r

It sounds like you're saying that these millionaires who became millionaires through inheritance, hard work, and chance can't write a post like Jason's because of how they got there. The reason they couldn't have made a post like Jason's mi

I skimmed some of the articles and found it disappointing that some people feel so strongly against sports. As a child, I also didn't like sports - mainly because I was asthmatic, unable to (or so I thought), and therefore apathetic to it.

Those chopsticks and communal sauces do get 'dirty', but hey, a few germs keep your immune system on its toes! There may well be an aspect of group bonding there in saliva-exchange. If you have to cut food, that's someone else's failing bef

If I could upvote this 100x, I would! I've just spent an age trying to find the name of that font to post here - kept on thinking it was Eurostile too (which others here appear to dislike too...). Handel Gothic, the choice of backstreet int

Nothing's wrong with Chicago, and what you write reinforces the point that often fonts are built for specific requirements, and then used by others in aesthetically inappropriate situations. Just as Comic Sans was made for screen use by MS

There's a lot of hate for Comic Sans, and it's not the fault of the font itself, but the fault of those who use it, and possibly because it's in MS Windows. If life was fair, people would also be laying into the Chicago font ( http://en.wi

I think the media's exaggerated response to tiny nuclear leaks is, however, one case where I'd prefer media hype to put the pressure on the industry to over-engineer their containers. The consequences of breaking open (not just a tiny crack
