I have an awesome wife
In this video, she’s performing a forgotten Broadway piece, the Alto’s Lament. The song is a medley of the alto and supporting parts of famous Broadway numbers.
Announcing Forecast
This is a great looking weather app, and since it’s from the makers of Dark Sky, I feel like I’ll be able to trust the data.
We’re extremely excited to announce the launch of Forecast, a new global weather service.

Tip anyway
Even when the food’s not perfect. Even when the server mixes something up (as long as they fix it). Even when there’s something stinky that comes with the order.
Goodbye FeedBurner
With the recently announced demise of Google Reader in Google’s Spring Cleaning post, it looks like Google is getting out of the blog reading business. Therefore, I’ve decided to transition away from FeedBurner, their blog feed publishing platform, as well. (Goodbye RSS subscriber stats of questionable reliability).
The new feed for this site has a link up in the header and here. Please re-subscribe when you get the chance. If you use RSS, you’ll know what to do. (
The old feed is still around, not deleted or broken, so it will still work as long as Google lets it.Update : Actually, I ended up having to delete the feed to get rid of the redirect loops.)The Opposite of a Honeymoon

Calvin and Hobbes
How is it that there was there never a Calvin and Hobbes TV show? Or was there one that I missed? Somehow my childhood seems incomplete. This helps a little:

If you meet a person who cares about the same obscure things you do, hold on to them for dear life. Sympathy is medicine.
John Siracusa
While we may judge ourselves by our motivations, we tend to judge others by their actions.
Jason Fried
Since copywriting is interface design, you can do an awful lot of great design in a text editor. Don’t worry about where things will go, or how they will fit. Worry about explaining it clearly and then build the rest of the interface around that explanation.
Pope Francis - “Thrift Shop” Macklemore
This is awesome.

Google Reader, I will miss you
We’ve spent a lot of time together over the years.
It was a good run, but I see you’re ready to move on. Maybe it’s for the best we’re splitting up. I’m sure I’ll find somewhere else to read the Internet.
p.s. It won’t be Google+.
Pope Francis

The falling man
Kerry Skarbakka makes the act of falling into a work of art.
Arizona-based artist Kerry Skarbakka has received both awards and death threats for his controversial ‘falling man’ images.
This set of images gives me anxiety, but it captures a beautiful moment of panic. More of his work is on his site.
Chicago Past
Here’s a website with a collection of historic pictures of the city of my birth.
R-Rated Pixar
I like these r-rated classic movie scenes made into Pixar style art. I’d read these book if someone made them, but I won’t read them to my kids. Yet.
I think I have seen every one of the films depicted.
Let's make everyone above average
From Don Boudreaux’s news story, Minimum Grade:
WASHINGTON (CH) – In a bold effort to improve the educational fortunes of students who perform at academic levels significantly below the average of their peers, Congress has mandated a minimum grade to be assigned to each student in each course taught at any school in the country. Starting in September, it shall be unlawful for any teacher, professor, or instructor charged with assigning course grades to assign to any student a grade lower than C-.
Hypnotic motion
Don’t look too long at these hypnotic animated GIFs.
Coffitivity
Like the coffee shop vibe but hate coffee? Need to focus, but it’s too quiet or the background noise is too distracting? Coffitivity promises an ideal level of ambient noise to focus on work and get things done.
Research shows it’s pretty hard to be creative in a quiet space. And a loud workplace can be frustrating and distracting. But, the mix of calm and commotion in an environment like a coffee house is proven to be just what you need to get those creative juices flowing.
