I love that the image they used for "Real Pirates" is from an article a few years back on Indonesian pirates (I know, because that was an amazing article and I saved all the images).

Hey do you guys watch this eagle cam? We audited this center last year and found out they were setting up their bald eagle camera. Pretty much watched the entire time the babies spent in the nest. One just hatched this Sunday.

One just hatched in the past hour or so!

U.S. Government To Save Billions By Cutting Wasteful Senator Program

Quote

"Now more than ever, we must eliminate needless spending wherever possible," tPresident Obama said at a press conference Wednesday. "When we sat down to go over our annual budget, we asked ourselves, where can we safely trim back? What programs can we do away with without negatively impacting the American people? Which bloated and ineffective institutions can we no longer justify having around?"

"The answer was obvious," Obama added. "The U.S. Senate just needed to go."

...

Moreover, the study found that the U.S. government already funds a fully operational legislative body that appears to do the exact same job as the Senate, but which also provides a fair and proportional representation of the nation's citizens and has rules in place to prevent one individual from holding the operations of the entire chamber hostage until he is guaranteed massive federal spending projects for his home state of Alabama.

The iPhone silliness reminded of something I haven't dug up in a while.

In the beginning was the command line. It's Neal Stephenson's love letter to Linux/etc. It's also a rather interesting history of the PC (up to 1999 anyway) and while it's somewhat dated now, it's still an excellent read.

I have yet to get around to reading the man's books, but I have a hearty respect for his writing simply because of this essay.

Check out the couple of collaborations he's done, too. They temper his "welp I'm done" endings, a bit.

Snow Crash is good. It does tend to wallow in an excess of exposition though.
