I bet I have a better idea for you. Set up the same thing for watching people design. I don't design much, but I love and learn incredible amounts from watching people design. Could be any format -- web, print, architectural, etc. Design is

We tech-savvy people think ctrl-f is so basic we can barely conceive how could anyone not know it. How could they not? Somewhere there is a discussion group where people can't believe people don't know you can wear something other than geek

My biggest challenge in NYC has been the availability of dependable salaries for coders and designers from non-startups, especially from banking and finance. Start-up equity isn't as valuable here to people who can get great pay from a bank

The post says "There’s absolutely zero non-data ink." The names of the countries are printed twice. As far as data is concerned, one set contains none. The second printing may help readability, but readability isn't data. You can tell one s

I heard that when Napoleon was considering officers for promotion he would ask how lucky they were. I think he felt to be lucky once or twice may have been coincidence. To be consistently lucky means they have skills the observer couldn't s
