Did I get that right? I’ve watched this video about 5 times and I’m still unsure. It’s so funny!
The question posed to Ms South Carolina from the Miss Teen USA competition was, “One-fifth of Americans cannot find America on the map. Why do you think this is so?”

It just struck me while reading Jakob Nielsen’s eyetracking research into web usability and Google’s own Adsense heat maps, that sidebars on the left get a lot more attention from readers.
It makes sense for 2 reasons.
1) We read from left to right.
2) We’re so used to seeing right-sided sidebars that we’ve learnt to tune-off to […]
This post from J. David Macor really embarrassed me. It’s a hilarious receipt from Raffles Hotel, Singapore. This 5-star hotel obviously made a typo error in one of the items, mistakenly labeling it as a ’slut’.

That was a really tough proposition. What could I write that wouldn’t come across as biased? Is it even possible to be objective?

It’s really easy […]

People, it’s high time we make clear and upfront disclosure a priority.
I am starting a (non-violent) […]
I’ve just installed a plugin that removes the ‘nofollow’ attribute in comments.
My reasons are simple:
I appreciate readers who write thoughtful comments. They deserve to get a vote of approval from my blog back to their sites.
Askiment does an excellent job of catching comment spam. Since I check my blog daily, I can clear up whatever […]
For the past 3 years, I’ve been running a side project called TicTap. TicTap started off as a free SMS service, so you could text us the ISBN of a book, and we’d return the Amazon.com information to your phone.
The SMS service has been shut down because it was unprofitable. Fortunately, TicTap is much […]
