Buttered cat paradox →
The buttered cat paradox is a joke paradox based on the tongue-in-cheek combination of two adages: Cats always land on their feet. Buttered toast always lands buttered side down. The paradox arises when one considers what would happen if one attached a piece of buttered toast (butter side up) to the back of a cat, then dropped the cat from a large height.
One of Moped Will's FailSpace blogs. →
I lost friends and alienated people, had drunken sex that I later regretted, learned to saute properly, made out with someone who lied about their age, broke into 6 buildings, drove to Wisconsin 8 times, and committed 4 traffic violations. I pulled 2 people who were stuck of of the snow, spent money that I didn’t have, mistook politeness for friendship, purposefully did not file my state...

Fixing Uncle Sam’s Image Problem →
Many Americans want to believe things will automatically get better when George W. Bush leaves office. There is a kernel of truth in this. The Bush administration has been amazingly incompetent in the Middle East, Afghanistan, Pakistan and, lately, Georgia. Yet the same administration has also improved America’s relations with China and India, suggesting that not all of America’s PR...
“Swimming. It’s the feeling you get at the end of a hard practice when you...”

2009
2008 is almost over, and within the next few hours, depending on where you’re located, a new year begins and people everywhere are staying up just to get a charge out of it. Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve begged my Mom to let me stay up to see the clock hit 12:00AM. She hesitantly agreed to let me, even though I needed my sleep; I liked feeling like a big kid, getting to stay up...

30GB Zunes Failing Everywhere, All At Once →
They’re getting tons of reports—tons—about failing Zune 30s. Apparently, the players began freezing at about midnight last night, becoming totally unresponsive and practically useless.
Master Cleanse →
The Master Cleanse, also known as the The Lemonade Diet, Lemon Cleanse and the Maple Syrup Diet, was created by Stanley Burroughs in 1941. Burroughs states that it is a detoxification program that aids in the removal of harmful toxins from within the body, as well as a reducing diet for loss of weight, and a cure for ulcers and “every kind of disease,” resulting in “the...

Summary of 'Time After Time by Russell G. Foster'... →
In their wonderful book, Russell G. Foster and Leon Kreitzman tell us that while our ability to measure time has improved over the ages, we have nevertheless “been steadily losing a battle with time. Instead of controlling our modern clocks, they control us.”

This thing plays through a time line. Well, sort of. Two guys are inside the box thing, and the walls around them begin closing in, bringing your browser with them. Then eventually, one of the guys starts to blow up a balloon, thus making the browser window larger. It’s pretty cool.
Brant Charles's Commencement Speech To MIT. →
I’m Brant Charles, and 14 years ago I was just like you. Now I’m a meta-physicist.
Being a meta-physicist is awesome and it isn’t even hard. Newton discovered gravity whilst lounging under a tree. Einstein came up with most of his theories by daydreaming. Stephen Hawking just sits in a chair all day.
How to Press the Reset Button On Your Life →
We all get stuck in ruts from time to time. We get off track and lose sight of the life we meant to live. I know I’m probably not the only one who has wished that I could find a reset button for life.
While we can’t exactly travel back in time (flux capacitor or not), there’s certain ways we can “reboot” our lives.
With the New Year right around the corner, it’s a perfect time to get a fresh...
Lucida Hybrid: The ‘Grande’ Alternative →
Lucida Grande is such a nice font to use in websites, but because it doesn’t come standard with Windows, we turn to Lucida Sans Unicode and Lucida Sans to make sure users get a similar look. Unfortunately, both typefaces have imperfections that make them less-than-worthy candidates for substitution. Oh, dear.
Web Typography Cheat Sheet →
Let’s be honest. Typography and the web do not go hand-in-hand. You’re limited to a choice of about 5 fonts, most of which are cheap knockoffs of ‘proper’ typefaces. You’ve got practically no fine control over kerning or line spacing, and - worst of all - there’s a very good chance that no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try - your type is going to...
Typographic Contrast and Flow →
As you have probably know, most online readers don’t read line by line, instead they scan (from one point to another). For this reason, designers create typographic contrast and flow by emphasizing certain text. Contrast is important because not all the content within a page have the same value, some have greater significance than the others. By creating contrast, you can direct the reader’s...
