That was awesome. I've done a lot of product demos for my company, but nothing quite like that. Very smooth. And damn, Obama is good at his role as well.

Yeah, I should point out, that despite the title, it's only tangentially about web design. It's actually a much broader discussion of technology and where it might be going.

Web Design: The First 100 Years

This is a pretty interesting read. I think it's actually a transcript of a presentation. It gets too preachy at the end, but the first half is pretty great.

I'm with Max on What Is.. . Great song. Zeppelin II has always been my favorite Zep album. Just great from start to finish, that takes you up and down, loud and quiet. As a kid, Ramble On was always my favorite Zeppelin song, but Bring It On Home has always been a secret favorite as well. I love tha...

The author of the New Yorker piece wrote a follow-up because of the huge amount of attention her article received. This one is about how NOT to die with the Pacific Northwest shakes and slides into the ocean. It's a nice balm to the panic caused by the other article. http://www.newyorker.com/tech/el...

I read it as Brian's mocking of all of the people who demand all Muslims apologize every time another Muslim commits an act of terrorism.

Rowdy Roddy was my pledge name in college. Never really knew why. I think it's just because my pledge dad found a kilt he wanted me to wear. (That was how we did fraternity pledge names. They picked them on Halloween and dressed us up).

Beijing is the first city to host a Summer and Winter Olympics. Time again to recommend "Beijing Welcomes You", by Tom Scocca, about the preparations by China for the 2008 games. Great book. Paraphrasing a Tweet I saw today. So in 2022, the World Cup will be held in winter and the Winter ...

Incredible story and what a great kid.

I find most of the arguing back and forth about this issue tedious, but I love me some Ideal Gas Law, so I've enjoyed reading that part. I do find it interesting that so many people got the initial pressure readings wrong. I would have made the same mistake. That said, the "corrected" calc...

I think we used some online site(s). Can't remember which, but I don't think it was Mavis Beacon. There are plenty of good ones.

AJ Wood (asshole) I remember his name growing up. So I googled him. Interesting that at UVA he was never 1st or 2nd team all american but was Soccer America Player of the Year. Wonder if that goes to some of your commentary on him. I remember him at UVA. He was a pretty good goal scorer during a ti...

Is it not feasible for her to live at home, at least for a while? I guess the issue is she isn't safe by her self at home?

I haven't tried talking to Cortana yet. I actually read an article on that on Lifehacker just this morning. I might have to give that a try.

I got one for you, Shirley. Remember Doug Smith, a 3-point shooter who came off the bench for the UVA Brian Stith team? He lit me up in a pickup game at the Y one day; after that I knew better than to try and check him. I had seen him do the same to Nick Van Exel in a tourney game, so I didn't feel...

I don't have a terrible impressive list. Soccer - In high school, I played against Rob Ukrop, who went on to lead the NCAA in scoring one year while taking Davidson to the Final Four. He played a lot of second-tier pro soccer and had a cup of coffee in the MLS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_U...
