Sorry for the title, it doesn’t happen often. Mike Brown was in front of Congress today to answer for the disaster he oversaw after Katrina. I understand he doesn’t want to fall on his sword for something he feels isn’t his fault, but the level to which he stoops trying to blame anyone but himself […]
It’s one thing to talk about–and execute–a user-focused approach when you’re a small company or an independent contractor. But what if you are, in fact, a fish in a sea as vast as, say, Microsoft? Can you hope to make a difference? Or does working at the “DarkStar” suck the soul from any employee with […]

Opera today released their browser for free.. no ads, no banners, no nothing. Very cool. Opera is the parent to many of the features that people love in Firefox, including tabbed browsing. Well worth a look and something else to keep in mind when designing for the web. Link [via digg]

Lifehacker has a cool post about how to properly lash two ropes together. As a failed Cadet (kind of like Boy Scouts, but with more God and less crafts), I should know this, yet don’t. I bring shame on my family. But no longer, as I will learn how to do this… as soon as […]
This is completely for a couple people at work and will make zero sense to anyone else. You can now buy these T-shirts at Cafepress: That is all.
The news hit recently that the next version of Windows, Vista, will come in 7 different “flavors”, or SKUs. I’m making the prediction right now that this is a completely false story cooked up to divert attention from the disaster that Vista has become. After dropping pretty much every decent feature from Vista, Microsoft had […]
