    • iPhoto '09 and Domain Language January 6, 2009
      There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things. —Phil Karlton Karlton’s quote isn’t just for techies. Interface designers are in the business of naming things too. We’re copywriters. It matters if we call something an Event or a Milestone or a Deadline. And it also goes deeper than that. The […]
    • iPhoto ‘09 and Domain Language January 6, 2009
      Ryan Singer on iPhoto ’09: Apple realized that people don’t just want to find photos. Go back to iPhoto’s domain: it’s that situation where you have a bunch of photos and you want to look at them and share them. When you’re in that situation, you don’t just want to see random photos. You want to see and share photos of certain things.   […]

    • More Resistance to Free Range Kids December 30, 2008
      I know Lenore Skenazy’s terrific blog, Free-Range Kids, has been mentioned on BB before, but IMHO it’s relevant, especially when our kids are home from school for two weeks and we as parents have to choose between letting them zone out for hours with the new videogame Santa brought them, or giving them the opportunity to explore the world around them an […]

    • The breakup of the United States January 2, 2009
      Kevin Kelly discusses the possibility of an "unthinkable" breakup of the USA. After all, notes Juan Enriquez, "no US president has ever died under the same flag that he was born under." The most recent breakup scenario was noted today in the Wall Street Journal in a piece about Russian professor Igor Panarin, who predicts the breaku […]
    • Yes, Bristol Palin is 18... January 1, 2009
      Several people have commented on my last post, pointing out that Bristol is over 18 now and really any information about the baby needs to come from her and Levi, and if they choose not to release anything it's their call. This is 100% true and I cannot dispute that. The two young people are entitled to their privacy, and even though at times in my fr […]

    • it slices! it dices! it juliennes! January 1, 2009
      Those of you who know me well know that I cannot cook.  As in burning water, out-of-a-box, drive-through-window CANNOT MAKE FOOD. One of my resolutions this year is to start using the kitchen for more than a place to store my beer and Eggo waffles.  In that vein, I’ve started accumulating things that one might need in order to make meals, such as pot […]

    • The New Yorker reviews the new edition of The Joy of Sex December 29, 2008
      Chelsie Gosk says: I thought you might be interested in Ariel Levy’s review of the new edition of The Joy of Sex as well as the piece’s accompanying slide show (illustrations from the 1972 edition, the new edition, and Our Bodies, Ourselves) and podcast." [Joy of Sex author Alex] Comfort had a tendency to focus single-mindedly on a giv […]
    • Predictions 08: How Did I Do? - John Battelle's Searchblog December 30, 2008
      As for your 09 predictions, I've love to see your take on the battle of Facebook Connect vs OpenID and have you include Apple in your digital predictions. But most importantly, I want to see you stick to your guns on making progress ...
    • The Octonauts Are Where It’s At December 30, 2008
      As promised, here’s a post about kids’ books, and specifically Meomi’s fabulous The Octonauts series. We’ve tried to give Mark F. credit for turning us on to The Octonauts, but he refuses to take it, going so far to insist that he’s never seen these books. OK, fine. The books in question are The Only Lonely Monster, The Sea of Shade, and the new […]

      While this may seem off-topic for PT, it’s an important issue that is directly relevant to science education and research. In the midst of the current severe economic downturn, all segments of our society are feeling knock-on effects. College and university endowments have taken substantial hits. We hear about the big ones: Harvard’s $36 billion endow […]

    • A Web Developer's Responsibility December 29, 2008
      It's safe to say that the biggest tax on a web developer is spending so much time dealing with browser bugs and incompatibilities. Thus it has become the favorite past-time of all web developers to complain about having to deal with them. Browser bugs are annoying, frustrating, and make your job incredibly difficult. Because browser bugs are so frustr […]
    • One Santa to rule them all December 24, 2008
      All Santas look the same. This is important to you if you're a marketer. Lots of brands and markets splinter. We have markets with hundreds of different cell phone models, catalogs containing tens of thousands of different kinds of nuts and bolts. There are very few marketing examples of a natural monopoly. The Bell phone system was a natura […]
