Amazing feature about the inner workings different winter olympics events and how they work. I have a feeling that Luge (tomorrow probably) will be nutty.

Greasemonkey is now natively support in Chrome! This works with the latest nightlies for Mac even!

This means my little tumblr greasemonkey script now works on Safari, Firefox and Chrome. The trifecta is complete.

We’ve got to close the gap between rhetoric and the reality.

“Flash AND HTML5”

I was just reading quotes from this guy in the actual newspaper while on the subway. I’m pretty sure this picture was taken during the interview.

The virtual newspaper article is here.

Wait a sec! The Grammy people are NOT the type of people that I want supporting music education. Looks like the baby will be home schooled.

The Grammys are in 3d, there's online voting, ETA for performances and still the best feature of the entire thing: the mute button on my TV.

I wonder how a musician would feel if they found out I considered them "good music to work to."

Ted Roden

I’m sure it’s a great honor, but admit it: you’d be kind of embarrassed to be nominated for a Grammy with today’s slate of nominees.

People keep passing around articles with "great" business advice. When I read them, I feel like I'm missing something: bit.ly/9FApUP

I also like to hire people into one position below where they ought to be … This is another thing I really, really value: being a true meritocracy. The only way people will have the trust to give their all to their job is if they feel like their contribution is recognized and valued. And if they see somebody else higher above them just because of a good résumé, or they see somebody else promoted who they don’t think deserves it, you’re done.

The man who invented the cash machine

officiallyrad:

“It struck me there must be a way I could get my own money, anywhere in the world or the UK. I hit upon the idea of a chocolate bar dispenser, but replacing chocolate with cash.”

Plastic cards had not been invented, so Mr Shepherd-Barron’s machine used cheques that were impregnated with carbon 14, a mildly radioactive substance.

The machine detected it, then matched the cheque against a Pin number.

However, Mr Shepherd-Barron denies there were any health concerns: “I later worked out you would have to eat 136,000 such cheques for it to have any effect on you.”
