A Funkaoshi Production

Kottke has made a new website / webapp. I actually quite like browsing around on it, even though I feel like there are millions of other sites that try to do this very same thing. The dude knows how to make a website.

Remember blogger? Looks like Google finally did.

TIME’s new Lightbox blog is pretty good.

I wonder if anyone is tracking which of Flickr’s original employees are still left at the company.

I really feel for security guards. They are almost always universally reviled. Of course, a lot of the time they aren’t particularly friendly. Regardless, this is pure awesome.

Twitter recently asked 3rd party developers to stop making Twitter clients, because they apparently are doing a shitty job at it. Never mind that the recent update to Tweetie was basically universally hated, and that many of Twitter’s most popular features originated with its user base and 3rd party client developers: @replies, #hashtags, retweets.

Avery Pennarun shares his thoughts on Etherpad, and his guesses as to what its creators thought about. One of the creators emerges from the void that is Google to comment on the post.

Ordeal is an understatement.

The US is really on a roll.

Bradley Manning, an American soldier under suspicion of having leaked classified and sensitive information to WikiLeaks, has been in prison since May, 2010. His conditions of confinement are increasingly strange and defy comparison with standards applied to the incarceration even of violent and self-destructive service personnel—and by all accounts Manning is neither; he is a model prisoner. Most recently, his captors acknowledge in the face of media inquiries that Manning is subject to a strictly enforced nudity regimen.

I don’t even know where to start.

Jordan needs some more help to get all the way to Mexico.

This comic is the best. I wish they still published the books in the larger format they did back in the 90s.

It’s back, risen from the ashes. I’m not sure i’ll switch back to QuicklSilver from Alfred, since I find Alfred a million times easier to use, but for those of you who were doing some crazy stuff with Quicksilver, it might be time to check it out again.

Oh hells yes.

This American Life discusses taroufing.

I remember it well. And then I got a Mac and used MacPPP or something-something-slip.

A new website about web design.

Does what it says on the box.

The International Center of Photography Library has a blog.

Some awesome infographics produced by students of W.E.B. Du Bois a long time ago.

Thinking about that.
