The Perils of JavaSchools
Lazy kids. Whatever happened to hard work? A sure sign of my descent into senility is bitchin’ and moanin’ about “kids these days,” and how they won’t or can’t d…

Site reliability engineers (SREs) are both software engineers and systems administrators, responsible for Google's production services end-to-end. I interviewed…

LaTeX vs. Word vs. Writer
I’ve earlier performed a little test , comparing two files: one produced with MS Word, the other with OpenOffice.org Writer. The purpose then was to demonstrate that Word isn’t necessarily such a bad piece of software — it’s just not always used in a way which is likely to give nice results: most people don’t change…

Why the Drudge Report is one of the best designed sites on the web
A couple weeks ago on Twitter I said: “I still maintain the Drudge Report is one of the best designed sites on the web. Has been for years.” A few people agreed, but most didn’t. Some thought it was a joke. I wasn’t kidding. To clarify, my definition of design goes beyond…

gorilla arm
The side-effect that destroyed touch-screens as a mainstream input technology despite a promising start in the early 1980s. It seems the designers of all those spiffy touch-menu systems failed to notice that humans aren't designed to hold their arms in front of their faces making small motions. After more than a very…

Startup founder evolution (or, the biz guy *is* valuable, just not at first)
In the past two months I’ve been on two different panels with other entrepreneurs. The first was at WTIA in Bellevue, WA (“ Cashing in on Web Services “)– the other panelists were very clearly what I’d call “business entrepreneurs”.
