And as you get within sight of San Francisco, you see this swirling mass of cloud and fog just over the city
It's quite a sight
A prime photographic subject?
Potentially. Not sure what set up you'd want for it, and I've no idea where you'd take the picture from — I've only ever seen it from the highway
A blimp
Oh, hmm, that's actually a real option here…
I wish you were a little less emotional about it but your arguments are interesting.
I’m a fierce defender of science because there are two great castles that we as a species have built - one is science and one is art. You can say anything about art, but science is cumulative and people say, “I can’t understand what’s at the top of that, so I’m just going to scrabble around in the mud outside the castle and build my own shitty version of it out of reassuring platitudes and borrowed terms.
The technology has been described as e-mail for the 21st Century, a rival to Twitter and to Microsoft’s collaboration software, Sharepoint.

Video For Everybody is very simply a chunk of HTML code that embeds a video into a website using the HTML5
<video>element which offers native playback in Firefox 3.5 and Safari 3 & 4: This is native OGG video playback in Firefox 3.5 (you get MPEG4 / H.264 playback in Safari). No plugins to install.In other browsers that do not support
<video>, it falls back to Adobe Flash.
A new monthly event for Bay Area designers to share ideas, learn, and get things done. Chromatic combines the spirit and goals of developer-oriented events like hackathons and hackerspaces with the practical structure needed for designers and students of design to truly learn, receive feedback, and improve their design skills by talking with their peers.
Promote your message via YouTube if you want to. But it is no substitute for knocking on doors or setting up a stall in the town centre.
One election official was quoted as predicting up to 80% of the country’s 46 million voters could cast ballots.
it may well be that we will tolerate these worse outcomes, because we decide it is somehow more important that we publicly declare ourselves, as a culture, to be disapproving of drug use, and enshrine that principle in law. It’s okay to do that. You can have policies that go against your stated outcomes, for moral or political reasons: but that doesn’t mean you can hide the evidence, it simply means you must be clear that you don’t care about it.

A federal jury Thursday found a 32-year-old Minnesota woman guilty of illegally downloading music from the Internet and fined her $80,000 each — a total of $1.9 million — for 24 songs.
A group of users want to mark up their iguana collections so that they can write a script that collates all their collections and presents them in a uniform fashion.
I don’t know anything about iguanas, but let’s pretend it’s about cats, which should be basically the same thing from a markup perspective. Let’s say someone in the group has the following text on http://example.org/:
It’s been a while since it was recreated, and despite assertions that the article could be improved “Web 3.0” remains an amorphous protologism without a single coherent meaning, and should be deleted again.
Knowing the top speed of a car doesn’t tell you how fast you can drive in rush hour. To actually see the difference in page loads between all three browsers, you need slow-motion video. This one’s also a tie.
Just like on its desktop counterpart, the Mail app in the iPhone 3.0 update can now reply with only a quote from the original e-mail. To achieve that, you […] select the portion of text you want to quote. Then just hit the reply button and the selected fragment will be appended at the end of the email.
All these grown werewolf men falling in love with 4 year olds was a bizarre sentiment to write about, seemingly made justifiable because they wouldn’t touch them until they were of age, just act like their over friendly uncle for ten years… That’s not really better.
A translation of Jon Dowdell’s “Adobe on HTML 5” piece. With apologies to John Gruber.
An overview of this whole Flash vs. HTML5 brew-ha-ha, and how really the developments concerned are just pragmatic evolution of technology butting up against a couple of short-lived, but lucrative, media opportunities. HTML 4 supported pictures. HTML 5 supports moving pictures. It’s progress.
Some time ago I picked up some new personal domains, benward.me and bnwrd.me. I’d somewhat dismissed the .me TLD, but as time goes on and the opportunity to claim benward.com seems distant, I’ve decided to switch over.
Fun stats time!
What we’ve talked about is getting to a concept that we call livable communities, where people don’t have to get in a car every day. You can use light rail, you can use buses, you can use walking paths, you can use your bike.
We are asking all citizens (that’s you!) government agencies, local businesses and non-profits to do an assessment of their expenditures and see if they can shift an additional 10% of their annual budget to local independents.
I can almost hear the Oxfam advert: “This is Andrea. Every week, she has to walk three bins all the way down the street, round the corner and into the backyard. It’s either that or people will see her bins. It’s crazy, but you can help.
Outlook is to be shunned (ideally scrapped), not “improved.” Its default settings – use HTML mail; top-post – single-handedly destroyed electronic mail. Someone who mails you via Outlook is presumptively a top-posting asshole who doesn’t know how E-mail works.
Word has always done a great job of displaying the HTML which is commonly found in e-mails around the world. We have always made information available about what HTML we support in Outlook. For e-mail viewing, Word also provides security benefits that are not available in a browser: Word cannot run web script or other active content that may threaten the security and safety of our customers.
We’re pleased to announce a formal partnership with Yahoo! to support the NVDA project. Their first funding contribution will enable us to implement enhanced table navigation and reporting in virtual buffers, ARIA land marks, ARIA drag and drop and other ARIA improvements in NVDA over the next couple of months
The upgrade option was not available, Microsoft said, because it was trying to comply with European competition regulations. This means that IE is not onboard Windows 7 in Europe.
Hotelling’s law is an observation in economics that in many markets it is rational for producers to make their products as similar as possible.
Apple and other big phone makers have struck a deal with the European Commission to start selling phones with universal cell phone chargers starting next year.
What’s more troubling however, is the whole approach to performance optimisation as a matter of “knowing the secret handshake”. Optimisation is far more complex than that, and spending time on these “optimisation tricks” are rarely worthwhile and might often lead to unmaintainable code, if applied too early.
