Promoting their own event is not without self-interest, even if the poster sales aren't directly profitable. Also, it's not authorship over "red on white" as a concept, it's author…

Designer of EtherPad here. I'm a big fan of HackPad and I encourage people to give it a shot. I get a lot of questions about the best version of EtherPad out there, and HackPad is …

I'm a designer at Memberly — this is precisely what we do. If anyone has any questions/interest, feel free to contact me (email in profile)!

I did some UX consulting for The Colbert Report that required me to research their entire writing and production workflow and my understanding is that the executive producers of th…

Designer of the site here. (Thank you for the kind words.) We wanted to do something upbeat and positive, a kind of join-the-movement and do-your-part vibe. If it were a story just…
