If you thought this was cool, the new Esquire Classic just launched ( http://classic.esquire.com/ ), and Nieman wrote a new, more current article on it ( http://www.niemanlab.org/2…

This article was doomed the moment it was conceived. You cannot recreate art or art assets based on an oral description. Of course the markup looks awful, you can't describe the Mo…

I think we've all recognized the lack of context this actually provides. Something for a scientist's history books could mean jack to the general public.

This kind of thing happens often, where you've got "news", but can't disclose until it's final. In these situations it can be helpful to use some kind of scale or domain reference.…

Nice. I created this exact same calculator in the spreadsheet I'm using for my freelancing. It's kind of amusing how few knobs there are to twiddle for freelancing.

Wow, they tried to jack everything about The Oatmeal's style, but did a poor job of it. Love feedburner, but you have to wonder why they couldn't be themselves.

Actually, I have opposite preferences, so I can't really help, but I don't enjoy drinking water that isn't cold. I wind up having four or five water bottles that I cycle through re…

Instead of conjecture, here's how I got started as a freelance dev, starting 6 months ago. You need a decent portfolio site Design and build in in WordPress or something similar. P…

See, that's really interesting. I wonder if that's been patched since then. It just seems weird to have a tld absent a host.

And thus my question about a conventional default. It just seems to me that buying the gTLD will leave users fairly confused. If you want to access Apple (generically), users will …

Is there a default domain for these tlds? Let's take .home for example. How will this work when typing it into a browser? If you have my.home, it makes sense. If you type www.home,…

A site for cross device apps where you can't access the navigation on a screen smaller than 1280. Another example of a potentially great technology that loses credibility at a crit…

Explain to me how this is substantially different than a musician writing a piece of music, someone else taking the sheet music and going on tour with it. By supporting Obtvse, you…

I love his type of content publishing. It works the same way as the Humble Bundles. If you give something away for free, I'll take it for free. If you give me the option to pay $0,…

I'm trying to come up with something more interesting to say than "Wow". I've wished I had this a few times. I think the only thing that you lose here is access to an actual "diff"…
