Johnny Nash
I Can See Clearly Now
When’s the last time you heard this song? Too long ago, that’s when.
“Don’t be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying yes begins things. Saying yes is how things grow. Saying yes leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say yes.”
Last Flickr Photo Widget »
This simple javascript widget displays the last photo you uploaded to Flickr. (I use this with the Flickr iPhone app to always display the last photo I took with my phone.) A fun Labor Day project!
Charmingly half-finished, coffee-stained sketches of San Francisco (mostly the Mission) by Aindrila Mukhopadhyay on Flickr. Great use of Flickr maps too.
Space Explorer by Bill Robinson, who also has a blog and even more awesome flimflammery for sale
“I like retro cartoon pinups. I like fuzzy space aliens. Perfect match!”
I’m excited to see “A History of the Sky: A dynamic time-lapse visualization of the sky for an entire year” at the SF Exploratorium. Two things I love: clouds and time lapse!
“Here is a movie made from images from the camera’s first 42 days on the roof of the Exploratorium. The earliest day is in the upper left, and consecutive days follow left to right, then down, with the most recent day in the lower right.”
Watch it in fullscreen HD!

The difference between typing the words “authentic” and “aggregate” is small, true, but multiply it by the number of times you type your password … it’s a lot.
How a web design goes straight to hell »
The hardest I have laughed in a long, long time
“Every time you attempt to parse HTML with regular expressions, the unholy child weeps the blood of virgins, and Russian hackers pwn your webapp. Parsing HTML with regex summons tainted souls into the realm of the living. HTML and regex go together like love, marriage, and ritual infanticide.”
“It’s like there’s a gap. For the first couple years that you’re making stuff, what you’re making isn’t so good, okay … it’s not that great. It’s really not that great. It’s … it’s trying to be good, it has some ambition to be good, but it’s not quite that good. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game — your taste is still killer.”
Watch this, okay? Especially you creative types. It’s important.
This is possibly even cuter than an axolotl
Business model

| Heather: | as much as I hate this argument, at least the underserved are used to being underserved |
| Heather: | iPhone users are definitely not |
| Heather: | they complain if it doesn't do foot massages |
| Boris: | that's my next app btw |
| Boris: | turn on vibrate and put it under your foot |
