I love stuff like this.
People writing somewhat useless, but fun and clever bits of creative programming, just because they can. I wish the return animation lasted longer, but I will no doubt be getting this program when available. Just because I can. Calling Klondike-94327!
Tim Russert was great at what he did and we will miss having his particular variety of analysis during this and upcoming political campaigns. I used to wait for his reports on the Today Show the morning after a primary so I could know what just happened and what would happen next. He would always [...]
When I first came to Tribune 18 years ago, it was a simpler time. And when I recently took some time to look back, it was a reminder to me that creativity can happen in any environment at any time, you just have to look for it. This is a brief stream of consciousness post [...]
This is clever. Linton Weeks of the Washington Post took an early retirement from the paper. In his final published article, he took the opportunity to send a message in code to his readers.

These systems are generally the same [...]
You’re looking at the new face of grocery shopping. Well, one of them anyway. Certainly there have always been small improvements in the shopping experience as the years have gone by. First at some point there was air conditioning where there hadn’t been, then plastic bags (easy to use even though bad for the [...]
This story is about the Bay Bridge, but for hours CNN.com has been showing us the Golden Gate. It’s 8:15pm eastern on Saturday night…. is anyone paying attention, or is one bridge as good as another?
Apparently these are all over the internet. They’re called anomalous motion illusions and the combination of colors tricks the mind into seeing movement. But these are single image files. I hadn’t seen this one before, so I thought it was worth posting. The optical illusion here is very cool, and a little hard [...]
