  • ongoing · The London Illustrated News
    Tim Bray has some gorgeous photos and interesting commentary from his recent trip to London. I find it really interesting that we’re starting to see crossover from Web2.0 to more traditional/hardcore IT like what you see in the city.

  • Coding Horror: When In Doubt, Make It Public
    “It’s my firm belief that the inclusionists are winning. We live in a world of infinitely searchable micro-content, and every contribution, however small, enriches all of us. Obscurity sucks. But obscurity by choice is irrational. When in doubt, make it public.”

  • More about elevators – Joel on Software
    Great example in here of why sometimes addressing human factors first is the way to go:
    “..they had the hotel install mirrors in the hallway where the elevators were. By the time the visitors were done preening, the elevator had arrived. Human engineering at its best.”

  • Silly season [dive into mark]
    “Nowadays I’m reduced to nothing more than Grey’s-Anatomy-esque catchphrases. Seriously? Seriously? Do I really have to explain why this is a bad idea? Again? To a bunch of technological virgins who haven’t been fucked yet? Seriously?”
