I’m actually imagining the music as I read it.

Want to see my face twitch uncontrollably as I nearly pop a blood vessel?
It’s easy, actually. Just hand me a few dozen piles of code to edit where the formatting consists of things like this:
<p style=”margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;”><span style=”font-size: 10pt;”><strong><em> </em></strong></span></p>
You’ll actually have a 50/50 chance of me popping a vessel or breaking out into fits of uncontrollable laughter.

Just to remind you folks who are against #CISPA , here is where you should be directing people:

Contact them. Bug the hell out of them. Because I can assure you the folks seeking to push this through are buying dinners (and more) to get their voices heard.

Retro tech that took us to the moon
I was at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum for the TEDMed dinner reception last week, and couldn’t help but be struck by the crudity of the technology that took us to the moon and back. This is the command console from the Apollo spacecraft . Continue reading »

Google’s Image Search: Good For You, Not SEO
Friday, April 19, 2013
Yup.
Original Post from Eli Fennell:
Google’s Image Search: Good For You, Not SEO
I know many SEO people, and I respect their profession when they practice it honestly. I am not, however, opposed to Google making changes that don’t benefit them when those changes improve the user experience.
The new Image Search is definitely better for users. That they aren’t clicking through as much proves they never really wanted to (they just wanted to see how it looked and Google’s preview wasn’t always very good). Therefore it was a false economy.

Real Cyborg Superman
Thursday, April 18, 2013
The 2012 film “Battleship” was bad. I mean cheesy bad. But I was impressed by one guy in it, and it turns out this guy is as legit a bad-ass as his character! Colonel Greg Gadson, the guy who the scientists asks “are you a cyborg?” in the film, is pretty freaking amazing. A veteran of multiple wars, he was one of the first soldiers to wear specialized prosthetic legs, has some amazing medals for his amazing service, and a bunch of other stuff including legitimately having a Super Bowl ring (he served as a co-captain for the 2007 Giants). Oh, and he has a masters degree in Information Systems and Policy Management, which means he’s got tech cred to go along with all the other achievements.
Go ahead and watch the movie. Tell me you don’t give a small cheer when this guy beats the hell out of an alien with his bare hands.

Amazing Stories of People Investment
Wednesday, April 17, 2013
This was going to go into my Friday News Roundup, but it’s just so cool a story that I wanted to share it on its own.
Read more of Rosen’s story here: http://pegasus.ucf.edu/story/rosen/
A quote from the link above…
After spending $9 million on his adopted neighborhood of 2,500 residents, Rosen was asked if the program has a stopping point.
“I will be involved in the program until Tangelo Park is a gated community and the average home is selling for $1 million. Then I’m gone.”
Awesome. Continue reading »
