“I think one of the things that really separates us from the high primates is that we’re tool builders. I read a study that measured the efficiency of locomotion for various species on the planet. The condor used the least energy to move a kilometer. And, humans came in with a rather unimpressive showing, about a third of the way down the list. It was not too proud a showing for the crown of creation. So, that didn’t look so good. But, then somebody at Scientific American had the insight to test the efficiency of locomotion for a man on a bicycle. And, a man on a bicycle, a human on a bicycle, blew the condor away, completely off the top of the charts.”

“And that’s what a computer is to me. What a computer is to me is it’s the most remarkable tool that we’ve ever come up with, and it’s the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.”

Facebook’s IPO reminds us, it’s all about the paycheck.
Big-news-headline events tend to bring out the worst in sensationalist headlines and journalism, and Facebook’s IPO story is no different. In this post, we are enlightened as to the “3 ways Facebook plans to exploit you the user, in order to justify their plans to increase revenues, profit, and valuation,” all while “FB users get … Continue reading Facebook’s IPO reminds us, it’s all about the paycheck.
Let’s get personal.
A new blog and blog post motivated by (but not in response to) @markjaquith’s excellent post, “Why I am an atheist and a naturalist.” Fair warning: if you follow me for my links/resources regarding WordPress, or general lightheartedness, this blog’s probably not for you.

This post was originally written on a separate blog and has been migrated here. I’m writing this post with the intent of explaining why I’m writing this blog. It may turn out long, so bear with me. I’ve been wanting to write about my faith walk for quite some time now. The idea began sometime … Continue reading Genesis

Are you a stylist or a designer?
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
Would you capture it? Or just let it slip?

Noah Stokes | Es Bueno: Thirty Five
Much like last years popular Thirty Four, here are thirty five things I’ve learned in thirty five years.
- You may think the lead guitarist is the bad-ass in the band, but you’d be wrong. It’s the bass player.
- If you were to drop off the face of the earth tomorrow, the people who call looking…

Two things I don’t understand about @klout.
Why they need me to enter my name to sign up for Perks (clearly they know it), and what algorithm they use to determine topics that we’re influential about. 75% of the influential topics seem to be bogus.
My 3rd most influential topic right now is Superman. Why? because I tweeted a Chuck Norris joke involving Superman that was RT’d quite a bit:
Chuck Norris and Superman once fought each other on a bet. The loser had to start wearing his underwear on the outside of his pants.

So why am I not influential about Chuck Norris? Is it because no one is allowed to be influential about Chuck Norris unless he allows it?

Thanks, Steve.
Posting designs like this one makes me paranoid, because I can’t shake the feeling that it’s not original. I enjoyed the process regardless, but please let me know if somebody else beat me to the idea!

Amazon Kindle Fire
The Kindle Fire appears to be exactly what consumers were looking for in the firesold HP Touchpads, a cheap functional tablet. But this new Amazon tablet looks to be more than that. With the all the press releases, media buzz, and behind the scenes innovation backing up this tablets release, I can’t help but cheer … Continue reading Amazon Kindle Fire
ItsJaredC: The wrong question: “I want to learn to code, what should I do?”
If you want to learn to code and build stuff and you’re starting by asking someone else what you should do, you’re already thinking about it the wrong way. Immediately, right now, with no preparation, in the blink of an eye, you can take a huge step toward your goal by realizing that you don’t…

Overdone – Why are restaurant websites so horrifically bad?
