Mixing degrees of publicness in HTTP
via Epeus' epigone by Kevin Marks on May 05, 2008
... you often encounter pages that show different things depending on who you are, such as blog, wikis, webmail or even banking sites.

Andy Warhol: "Either once only, or every day."
via Boing Boing by Mark Frauenfelder on April 28, 2008
Interesting Andy Warhol quote, found on The Happiness Project: "Actually, I jade very quickly. Once is usually enough. Either once only, or every day. If you do something once it’s exciting, and if you do it every day it’s exciting. But if you do it, say, twice or just almost every day, it’s not good any more.”Link
