Increase Font Size in Google Reader
via Google Operating System by Ionut Alex Chitu on May 07, 2008
Google Reader added an option to increase/decrease font size for all the posts: press = to magnify text and - to decrease its size. Unfortunately, Google Reader doesn't save your preference, so the next time you open it you'll see the original font size.While most browsers include a zoom feature (Opera, IE7, Firefox 3) or an option to increase the font size, Google Reader applies the new...

Alexander Payne, HBO Chase the 'Large-Penised' Demo With New Series [Hung
via Defamer by (author unknown) on May 10, 2008
Shared by Chris Wetherell Possibly awesome? Being made by the same team that created and produced 'The Riches' which I'm enjoying due to Hulu. (And I'm braced for my tiny film of the same name to get bumped farther down the result pages by this. Should've named my effort: You Know, That Time Someone Got Hung.)In a continuing creative victory for horse-geezered men around the...

via fieldandstream.blogs.com by (author unknown) on May 07, 2008
Shared by Chris Wetherell Projectiles aren't compelling video to me normally, but I'm fascinated by the camera work here. I'm amazed by how fast that pan must be in order to follow the bullet.

Out of Print: The death and life of the American newspaper: The New Yorker
via www.newyorker.com by (author unknown) on May 06, 2008
Shared by Chris Wetherell This worries me the hell out of me. Security budgets and expenses for independent journalism aren't small. I don't want the enterprise of efficient, elegant syndication on the web to sit on the sidelines while good resources in investigative journalism bleed out. There has to be a way for us to help.Independent, publicly traded American newspapers have lost...

Pure JavaScript HTML Parser
via John Resig by John Resig on May 05, 2008
Recently I was having a little bit of fun and decided to go about writing a pure JavaScript HTML parser. Some might remember my one project, env.js, which ported the native browser JavaScript features to the server-side (powered by Rhino). One thing that was lacking from that project was an HTML parser (it parsed strict XML only).I've been toying with the ability to port env.js to other...

via ongoing by (author unknown) on April 24, 2008
I was up late on IM with a much-younger computer programmerand he asked “Damn, there’s a lot going on. Is it always like this?”Well, no, it hasn’t been. But in the future, it may be.Near as I can tell, we’re simultaneously at inflection points inprogramming languages and databases and network programming and processorarchitectures and Web development and IT business models and...

Ice Shelf Collapse Leaves Nowhere to Store Ice Books
via News As Gossip by julius on March 26, 2008
A giant ice shelf collapsed in Antarctica, posing a real problem for those who had planned to use it to hold their ice books and ice trophies. Scientists say it's yet another sign of global warming (oh really? Gee thanks, scientists. You think?) and the loss is permanent, unless someone has a really giant ice tray they can stick in a really giant refrigerator to make more. Climatologists...
