An op-ed piece from Thomas Friedman at the New York Times.

Pro Silverlight 2 in C# 2008

From Apress, a book I should probably pick up.

Transcription of a talk by danah boyd at the O'Reilly Emerging Technologies Conference, 2007

How To Create A Favicon.ico

From PhotoshopSupport.com.

The full text of the Apress book.

A great movie, via Kottke.org and Google Video. Nice find -- I highly recommend this one.

Seriously gorgeous time-lapse photography.

From Tom Wujec, via TED Talks.

From Graham's presentation this past weekend.



Not Tonight Honey, I've Got the Internet

It's a somewhat misleading title; really it's just the digest results of a study released by Intel about the broader place and priority of the Web in people's lives today.

Who Killed the Blogosphere?

From Nick Carr. A susprising statistic: "[According to Technorati], only 7.4 million blogs had any postings in the last 120 days, and only 1.5 million had any postings in the last seven days." That seems way low. Interesting.

Stop Stealing

From 47 Hats.

Just needing something like this seems a bit scary, but I feel the need to hang onto it for some reason.


April Fool's Day Hoaxes
