Drag the slider. It's not about the person, or his job. It's about the clever concept.
Thank you! I didn't notice it; think it was not visible on my old Android but could see it on my Mac desktop.
Can someone explain this phenomenon to me: http://i.imgur.com/lIAwLXP.png
There's a lot of randomness in what gets traction on a site like this based on whether or not the story clicks with the first few readers. A few people seeing it and upvoting it early can be the difference between it getting momentum and going on to be successful or totally dying. If the first few people don't upvote, the post loses more and more momentum and dies quickly (even if it was good content). It's sort of l…
Going through his portfolio, my sarcastic side trying to find something that will somehow justify for my mind why a person's writing is so good that he gets paid for it consistently. Flip through, see [0] A picture of a boy playing in a puddle with a Washtub on his head, with the caption: "The joy of being five. You've got just 365 days to capture it". Ok, now I get it. (goes to my soon to be 6 daughter and gives her…
the only reason why I upgraded my phone to the 7s. I have a 3 year old. A smart phone + Google photos combination is a pretty good one.
If you want a general term for this sort of thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StretchText . (The original note describing the concept: http://i.imgur.com/jOCOQGI.png )

That image is an absolutely fascinating historical artifact. He's describing (in a related paper) the essence of web sites in detail in 1965 . It's difficult to even imagine how few people were thinking of such things when they were so far removed everyday life and culture. Tim Berners-Lee I thought was much more well known for starting a revolution with the world wide web. I hate to say but the web seems a bit less…
He's actually describing the essence of something much more ambitious than the World Wide Web, if you can believe that. Ted Nelson's idea was/is called "Xanadu": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Xanadu The Xanadu vision is centered on a hypertext system, like the Web. But unlike the Web, it also includes such things as: - A mechanism for embedding live documents within other documents ("transclusion": https://en…
Both styles can offer so much to humanity, but I'd bet most entrepreneurs would go with Edison as a cofounder before Nelson.

Great idea. My only suggestion is to have SEQme sort of symbol attached to the link that indicates that it expands the text and does not link to other material.

Yeah, very evocative. Being not-very-emotional, I always figured that "they grow up too fast" wouldn't hit me, but it has. There is so much more I wanted to provide my son (the oldest, age 7). I wish that I could just put his growth timeline on pause and continue to get to enjoy him, at least until I feel like I've gotten the TODO at least half-way cleared out. 7 years gone by, 7 more years and he'll be 14. Half of h…
