“My proposed code of civil conduct for higher ed, or speech code, if you prefer: I will separate the speaker from the speech.” — just a good rule in general.

I think this is quite a bit smaller than previous versions – IMHO, a good thing. and I’ll be using this shortly!

“Facebook is a deliberate experiment in global manipulation, and Thiel is a bright young thing in the neoconservative pantheon, with a penchant for far-out techno-utopian fantasies.” — okay, THAT creeps me out. serious libertarian weirdo.

Anonymous 6:26’s comment is true, but immensely depressing. (I feel like there’s got to be a way around it, but I’m not clever enough to think of one.)

OMG. There’s actually a software program to help figure out optimum sequence of rides at Disneyland. I’m moderately embarrassed to mention that I’m kinda excited about that. (for Elizabeth, mostly. someday we’ll go together again.)

“These women were referred to as the “computers†because they had to calculate complex differential equations by hand.” — okay, just think about THAT for a minute. to heck with ENIAC, I’m just boggled at doing calculus by hand!

that’s entirely awesome. now that LCD monitors are more common, it’d be nice to see the furniture manufacturers follow suit with shallower desks.

“if you ask me what the ratio of client-to-server code of a good Ajax app is I’d say 30% client and 70% server” – I was pleasantly surprised at how little I had to do in JS for my first Ajax project. Let the server do the really heavy lifting, if you ca

a couple of caveats: I found the daily weigh-in very useful; permission to eat a bit of junk food provides an outlet so that there’s no lust for the forbidden, and the evidence around saturated fat & heart disease is a little sketchier than you’d think, I(tags: health)
