For some reason I found this to be incredibly, incredibly powerful.

Glass might be inappropriate in some places…
Eric Schmidt commented on Glass, saying “there are obviously places where Google Glasses are inappropriate.” He was referencing the obvious issue of talking to glass when in a quiet room – say an exam hall, etc. This isn’t a significant comment. But I thought it was interesting that Gruber’s reposte was to comment “Weird and… Read more »
Ripping out features
An update from branch today… Starting today, Branch will look a little different — but this time, we’re not announcing new features or functionality. Instead, we’re excited to tell you we’ve stripped a lot away in service of a simpler, better product and exciting future. Pulling away features no one used should be treated with… Read more »
WikiLeaks Kissinger Cables
The Verge reports that WikiLeaks has released its largest bunch of files so far with diplomatic cables from the US between 1973-76. There’s a lot in there, and a lot for people to disseminate, so I imagine information will come slowly but some of it will be quite rabble-rousing. It’ll also be scary for US… Read more »
Adria Richards
In case you’ve been living under a rock, Adria Richards got someone fired from their job after they made a “crude” joke about “big dongles”, and then she mis-interperated a comment about forking repos as being another sexual joke. So, in a remarkably lacking display of benevolence, she decided to snap a photo of the… Read more »
Today in 1985
The first domain name was registered on March 15th, 1985 (the year of my birth, incidentally). That domain was symbolics.com.

In a direct attack on the troll defense blogs FightCopyrightTrolls and DieTrollDie, Prenda Law has just ordered WordPress to hand over all IP addresses of users… Read more »
Working from home in Yahoo!
Yahoo is in crisis. Marissa Meyer is also in crisis trying to fix an old dog. That’s hard to do when everyone is disparate, especially when attempting to rebuild a brand, product and set new goals & challenges for teams internally. Meyer comes from Google, where one of the cornerstones of the company is building… Read more »
Domains
A while ago I wrote about the plight of an inefficient domain system, archaic ICANN rules and, of course, how to acquire unused domains. I explained at the time that there’s a domain I’ve been watching for some time now, and for nearly 10 years this domain has been unused, defunct and “for sale”. So… Read more »
Letterpress
No, not the iOS game… I’ve been using WordPress since July, 2009. It is almost good enough. I encountered several downtimes when MySQL hung. I don’t know a thing about database so I had to reboot the whole machine. I even wrote 1 or 2 small WordPress plugins for my own use, which further consolidated… Read more »
