Seconded. This book has made me rethink all of my behaviors and professional practices – from the gym, to food, drinking, and my UX design recommendations and reasoning. It provide…

I am hanging out on a team product meeting with peeps in Paris, Philly, NYC, and SF as I type this. For me, this makes G+ 100x more valuable than FB.

Uhh, does anyone know what the location for this is? I RSVPed 'coming' and never got any info on where this is happening.

Dropbox's GUI does need some work for presentation, which is why me and a friend built an app on top of Dropbox precisely for that: views.fm Actually just released a new slideshow …

With every new OSX version update I just assume it's gonna take a solid 8 hours to get rails running properly again...

If Foursquare is a sign of things to come for NYC, I need to get the fuck out of here asap.

Seems like this is gonna be fun competitive space. I've seen http://vhx.tv , http://shelby.tv , and now WatchLater. Am I missing anything?

For designers: good for practice, bad for business For businesses: good for unimportant stuff that needs a bit of design, bad for serious stuff As a designer/business owner, I'm pa…

Oddly enough, the more I read the more I become convinced that this may actually not be the case. Technology and our ability to effectively process information is growing at an exp…

This site is a poor copy of flavors.me. I once took the liberty of illustrating that idea: http://grdn.cc/post/1171539069/flavors-me-vs-about-me-in-tod...

Reading this book The Possibility of an Island which postulates the same, though through a more socio-religious angle rather than technological.

The Black Swan (unrelated to the Natalie Portman movie) A great look behind some of the pseudo-science and psychological principles behind decision-making, rationality, and markets…

Finally! Some mainstream tech criticism in contrast to the overwhelming din of cargo-cult social network startups.

When did "startup" become synonymous with social internet site that will take years to make any money? I know I'm on HN; my point is that there are startups in all kinds of fucking…
