There are always more than two options →
This article makes a lot of great points. I think we all can forget that we’re not just limited to A or B but there is actually more available. Give it a read and hopefully this can put any tough decisions into perspective.
When someone says they only have one option, they’re really saying, “I have no choice,” and you know that’s wrong. (At very least, add “do nothing” and “go...

RainyMood.com →
I came across this link thanks to The Daily What and it’s premise is simple play rain in the background. It helps to set the mood of a constant down pour. Now, being a Rochesterian I can appreciate this. I mean rain is what we have the most of next to Garbage Plates and George Eastman leavings.
Finally, I highly suggest you put this on in the background while listening to some music. It...

What's Your Dream? →
This Sunday the family was all together and we were collectively wondering how to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr.s birthday. Martin Luther King, Jr. is in our opinion one of the greatest men of the last century and while he is celebrated with a national holiday we were a bit curious that there wasn’t an obvious ritual to observe the day. Most of our favorite holidays come with some...
The 'true story' of how Dr. King kept Uhura on... →
This is a great story that is more than fitting for this week honoring Martin Luther King Day. As a little backstory Nichelle Nichols aka Uhura from the original Star Trek was planning to leave the famed show only to have a great conversation from the Dr. King. Here’s a little excerpt from the article. It’s definitely a must read.
Now I’d known Gene Roddenberry since...

Bumptop For Mac Is Out →
I remember first seeing bumptop at Flash in the Can many years ago and back then I thought it was interesting from a technical perspective. Today it looks like the Mac version is out and about for all of our viewing pleasure. Based on the info here it seems like the app integreates pretty well with Leopard. Right now you can get the free version or cough up 30 bucks for the pro. I’m not too...

WatchI’m not really a big watcher of Anderson Cooper but he seems to have settled himself in Haiti during these tough times. Well, a new video is out of Cooper pulling a kid out of danger. The video is pretty graphic so if you’re not into seeing a lot of blood then you may not want to watch.

5 More Reasons Why IE6 Must Die →
It’s no secret the web techies hate IE6 and it’s with good reason. But in case you need a bit more convincing Mashable has put out a few more reasons to help you jump the fence.
1. Your security and your company’s security are at risk: There’s no other way to lay it out: if the security of Google, Yahoo, and around 20 other companies were compromised due to people still running IE6,...

Happy Birthday Martin Luther King Jr.

Separating Passion & Common Sense from Bad... →
This is a great little article about how to deal with a “bad” work environment. It’s a tough pill to swallow sometimes but it is a lesson that we do all have to learn and handle with stride.
If you ever end up in some of these really bad environments, you need to let go to help reduce your own stress.
By nature some of us just truly “care” about doing the best for the company...

WatchQwerted
Ok, while this may be confusing and a usability nightmare it is interesting to see. Apparently, Moritz Haarmann is trying to recreate how the iPhone’s keyboard enlarges the hotspots of each key as you type. So check out his test run for some interesting look into a developer’s workflow.
