voice is dead, long live voice →
yes. can’t wait for the day when voice communication is as smart as a web app. real control over voice messages, and the real killer app, presence for phone conversations.
spending the day debugging in Internet explorer. apparently my os version was out of date- I’d forgotten about the days when updating software took a couple of hours. #micro$oft

Why does typekit have to make the process so complicated? All I really wanted to do was say :
@font-face{
font-family: “foo”;
src=”typekit.com/foo”
}
but they have to add in some js magic where it “automatically” publishes to my site. No. I don’t want any magic. Why can’t this service work like the google ajax library apis? Just drop in the...

do we own our own tissue? →
this is pretty crazy. I’m fascinated that there is already a precedent for this: you don’t own the rights to your cells. Nevermind copyright and fair use, this is even weirder.

Watchtotally amazing. I’m always impressed when I have a hard time figuring out how a 16th century piece of technology works. And… this was the precursor to the world’s first gps device, the sextant…..

whoa. space. it's big. (part 2) →
I guess I have a thing for demonstrations of the scale of the universe.
Now I know what a yottameter is (10^24 meters) and what a yoctometer is (10^-24 meters)

back to the php ghetto
I’ve fully realized the depth of stigma against people who say they do php. That reason alone is enough to want to make me move on, never mind that, it is, compared to ruby or python, kind of a clumsy language.

I guess I would say that their pricing is… “corporate” or “working professional” of which I am neither, but thanks to Sarah Allen, I was offered a scholarship from Marakana, without which I definitely couldn’t afford to go.
It sounds cool, and I...
