In Case Of Actual Death: 11 Things By Josh Allen... →
No particular order. I couldn’t in good conscience get it down to a cool 10. To be fair, I could do a separate list just for Fireland, to help you know where to start.

Can The Insurance Industry Survive Climate Change?
csrwiretalkback:
The insurance industry can be a key player in helping the world mitigate and adapt to climate change - but only if it can adapt to climate change risks itself.

The weather just seems to be getting crazier and crazier. First, the Mississippi River caused record flooding in several communities. Now, it’s the...

DOs:
Post great + extraordinary + timely stuff
Post with a consistent theme/style/voice

Post lots of images, always crediting creator
Use “Photo” as often as possible…

The Full Spelunky on Spelunky
makegames:
At this year’s Game Developers Conference, I gave a 30-minute talk with my friend Andy Hull about Spelunky and how it went from being a freeware PC game to the XBLA project that we’re both working on right now. Overall, I think the talk went quite well (whew)! You can find footage of the talk somewhere on GDC Vault, but unfortunately, you have to be a registered member of something...

Drawn from the fine work of Andy Clarke (Marlarkey) and Jon Tan(gerine), esq. Note: I’ve moved all my HTML5 articles to http://oli.jp/, so I can walk the walk. I’ll leave this here for…
“The Never Call: There are some people who love to text so much that the phone...”

oh that is me. to a tee. (via madeleinepascal)
I am one of those people. But let me explain something to you. The telephone was an aberation in human development. It was a 70 year or so period where for some reason humans decided it was...
Fireland: Danger / Xing →
I’m chained up in the dungeon of Emperor Xing. Yes, again. Last time I managed to escape by hanging here for six months and losing enough weight to slip through the manacles. Time before that I excreted the lockpicks I’d eaten and grabbed them with my toes. Time before that I seduced Nathan,…
Neven Mrgan's tumbl: How real? →
Marco Arment on overdoing the interface metaphor:
We’re often told that we should design our websites and software to mimic real-life objects. The iPhone strengthened this idiom, and Apple has been driving this home hard for the iPad.
Marco is a thoughtful programmer and writer, but I feel…
elastic threads: Safari Extensions →
Instapaper Greystyled and Instapaper Article Tools extensions for Safari 5. It’s a quick implementation, but Apple’s made it pretty easy to turn a userscript into a Safari extension. (How cool is that?). More on the way. More integration into Safari’s UI, perhaps.

Iran's political coup →
garysick:
If the reports coming out of Tehran about an electoral coup are sustained, then Iran has entered an entirely new phase of its post-revolution history. One characteristic that has always distinguished Iran from the crude dictators in much of the rest of the Middle East was its respect for the voice of the people, even when that voice was saying things that much of the leadership did not...

On the Origins of Comics: New York Double-take
BRIAN BOYD
Comics can have almost no mass and yet be the most mass of mass arts: Garfield has had up to 263 million readers a day. Comics constitute a new art, just over a century old, and usually an unusually accessible one. So what can evolution…
More Than Tweets: The $0.69 iPad Stand →
Bought a wireless keyboard today to eventually replace the iPad Keyboard Dock I ordered online with my iPad. One really should try out a product before buying peripherals. But what I was really looking for was a stand that kept my iPad upright in either landscape or portrait. Neither the…
Senator Claire McCaskill: Why I don't follow you. →
Obviously I think twitter is a great communiciation tool. Many folks have commented that I should follow more people. One recent blogger has declared that I’m arrogant since I only follow one person. Let me try to explain why I don’t follow more people.
Early on I realized that for me to do this…
Quote and Comment: Mindcasting: defining the form,... →
A method I endorse is to understand things by participating in them. By doing your own thing, you learn the difference between possible actions (what you can do with the system) and likely behavior: what most people will tend to do when that system is switched on for them. Forget this difference…

Share your password on Netflix? If you live in Tennessee, you should stop. They just passed a law that makes it illegal to share your password to sites like Netflix and Rhapsody — even with permission. They’re the first state to do this. While you don’t have to worry about sharing within the…

In response to Wired.com’s scoop identifying the finder of the lost iPhone prototype, many have asked me how we did it. The process of uncovering digital footprints to identify Brian Hogan was indeed challenging and enlightening, so I thought I’d tell the story here. Heck, it might even teach…

I went with a friend of mine to see Star Trek: The IMAX Experience at the AMC Theatre in Burbank today. I drove out of my way to see the film on the large IMAX screen and paid an extra $5 for the ticket, which felt worth it at the time. HOWEVER, we get in the theatre and its just a slightly…
A Dull and Witless Boy.: (rant?) →
So this thought requires a few more characters than 140, so I’m taking to the blog. I would invite you, gentle reader, casual listener, enthusiast, to for a moment lend me a sympathetic ear.
To be frank: it bums me out from time to time that you just cannot play a new unrecorded song at a show…
