9 CommentsLast week was spent traveling Italy’s football, or as the locals call it, Sicily. The girlfriend and I traveled from Copenhagen to Rome to Catania, the eastern part of Sicily, where we logged into a hotel. A taxi trip from the airport and to our hotel turned out to be not as cheap as we’d [...]

During a trip to Sicily last week, I read the first two books set in Larry Nivens Ringworld space epos.

In a little over four weeks, there will be a new tenant in the white house. This tenant will get the nuclear codes, so who you pick is of global interest. If you’re reading this and you’re undecided or going to vote republican, I’d like to try and convert you.
6 CommentsLifehacker has an article on how you make your Firefox browser look just like Google Chrome using a few extensions. While the article really speaks to the adaptability of Firefox — the results are a close match — there’s one feature about Chrome they failed (or forgot) to replicate.
Chrome has sacrificed the browsers titlebar in favor of pushing the tabs all the way to the top of the screen. Why is this so important? Well, in Windows that means your tabs will touch the edge of the screen, real-estate that in a usability context is highly valuable. Think about it, if you closed your eyes and moved your mouse based solely on memory, which parts of your screen would be easiest to find? The edges of course, because they stop your mouse from getting farther. As such, I’d argue the most important feature of Chrome is that the tabs are so easy to hit. That’s a feature worthy of adoption.
11 CommentsUS unregistered voters now only have two days left to register to vote. If you’re one of them, get off your ass and register! According to Google, 10% of nonvoters in 2004 didn’t vote because they didn’t know where to go. What do we do when we can’t find our way? We find a map.
Another reason not to vote I’ve had thrown at me was that registering to vote is essentially registering for jury duty. Well fuck me. So the system sucks, does that surprise you? Do something about it!
Register to vote! Go now!
Update: Registering to vote does not register you for jury duty.

2 CommentsCome the Rapture, the true believers will ascend to the heavens and us godless creatures will be left behind. If you believe that, you might want to apply for the services of You’ve Been Left Behind. The service, which is subscription based, lets the true believers store personal messages to the friends they do not expect will ascend along with themselves:
Our purpose is to get one last message to the lost, at a time, when they might just be willing to hear it for the first and last time.
Messages sent out 6 days after the rapture.
