• X11
    - anecdotal evidence backs up this theory.

items of note from the last week

September 28th, 2011

  • Development
    - I get this joke only because of my wife, through whose 10 years of Child Development training and research I could not help but learn about Piaget.
  • Comic: Annservice, Part Two
    - i fear that some day, i will have a similar conversation with my daughter. even though she will (hopefully) be joking, it will not end well for me. someone please call an ambulance for PAX East 2027.
  • Elements of Happiness: A happy life depicted in diagrams
    - fantastic design aesthetic applied to a longitudinal study out of Harvard. really nice of the designer to make the entire thing freely available via Issuu — i just wish we could download it for offline reading. heck, i’d even pay for a print version.
  • Connoisseur
    - for me, this is craft beer. for Chris, it’s wine. for you, it might be recordings of classical music. but you know it’s true.
  • Permanence
    - this joke is going to completely miss 99% of you. but that 1%… you know EXACTLY what this feels like. it’s a heavy burden to bear.
  • The Cloud
    - scary, but likely true. so glad we’re doing a cloud service startup.
  • Comic for June 26, 2011
    - unfortunately, this very important message will never make it unto a PSA. folks, you must invite engineers to meetings.
