Some bartenders have the gift of pardon.

Basic troubleshooting and hacking hint for working with Lion.

Lion’s in the store, and the Ars Technica review is here. Check out the comments on how the app store based installer works. Cool.

Today’s strip should be required reading for all technology product managers.

Troubling if true. Aaron Swartz has been active in the online community for a long time. Information may want to be free but not if you have to commit crimes to free it…

The old pie in the face. Very proud of the British people.

Nice to see the guys getting some ink. Wonder if Skip made lamb?

Slopegraphs could be the next sparklines, if they’re any easier to implement than sparklines are.

Insightful and actionable discussion of how to head off one of the big dangers in managing engineers.

Nice review of the Berlioz.

The reviewer is right about the programming and the singers. Would have been nice to hear his thoughts about the chorus.

Interesting analysis of the White Hat/Infrared Security acquisition. Right about a number of things, including the importance of having multiple testing methods. Wrong about Veracode’s dynamic technology, which does “look at the running application in situ.”

Every time I despair that what I do will have lasting impact, I’m going to think about this sign–and the research that the writers on the Conelrad blog were able to pull off in this article. Great stuff.

The easily-guessable iPhone unlock code is the 2011 equivalent of the easily-guessable password. Now with statistical frequency.

New old Sonic Yoof is a great start for the weekend.

RSS may not be dead, but this doesn’t make me feel good about its future.

Cool graphical terminal toolkit written in WebKit.

And you thought traditional RDBMSes were bad. How about NoSQL approaches? No authentication by default, easy SQL injection, and server side XSS sound like real winners to me.

My print debut, though I’m not sure why they thought I live in Springfield.

Incredible tech tricks. It’s a real CPU emulator, really written in Javascript.

I always regret the end of the “popcorn” part of the presidential race, as the joke candidates drop out. I think the popcorn just went out of the 2012 race.

Not only a profanity laden adult children’s book, but also a new business model for books!

HULK WORK PREPRESS!! HULK REASON PANTONE WRITTEN UPPERCASE!!
