Now that Mozilla has finally fixed Firefox’s ligature glitch (present since version 1) after four years, I have a good reason to switch. The problem has been around since Netscape finished its 4·7 browser, which was the original reason I switched to Internet Explorer 5. It was quite odd: IE had...
A funny video that I just saw. Notice Aubrey, Jay Adelson, and Kevin Rose.
There's a unique newspaper published in my hometown called The Happy Herald. Its underlying concept is noble as can be: give South Florida all the news that's fit to print, as long as it's positive and perky. The result is a weekly, fourteen-page digest that includes everything from human interest...

Caution: things in the mirror may appear cooler than they really are
In preparation for 'Speak Like a Pirate Day' this Friday I thought I'd share a video I found on Digg just now of a ninja cat.

Continuing my web tripping adventure - I'll say this - there are a lot of tools that do the exact same thing - or a flavor of the same thing: Digg allows you to post a story and people vote on it ("DIGG" it) or you can just go "digg" other people's stories. Oh, neat, right? Clipmarks lets you post a...

A little while ago I posted a little snippet about a web show called popSiren from Revision3.com. While popSiren quenched my thirst for both DIY projects that I never actually do and Sarah Lane (Alexis says she'll be Sarah in 5 years), the real magic of the show is that it opened my eyes to all of...
Now that reddit has open sourced their platform, I'm wondering what contributed to their success or relative lack thereof. Looking at the contributing factors for Digg's success, the primary one that stands out is that they were able to harness the network effect. Arguably, the network effect can...
