  • 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.”

  • Thinking About The Strategy Behind Microsoft Silverlight (by Jeremy Zawodny)
    “That’s really what this is about. It’s not about competing with Flash. Microsoft is thinking much bigger than people seem to be giving them credit for.”

  • 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?”
