Make Your Bio Page About You [eMom] →
Can you be found in your website? No, really, can your site visitors find you?
I’m sure they can find out about your services, you upcoming events, and how to contact you. And you likely have a bio of who you are and what you’ve done. But do these things express who you are - you know, as a living, breathing person?
It might seem odd to ask these questions. Of course you’re a living, breathing...
Why Reinvent the Wheel →
Websites that build directions information instead of just giving me a Google Maps widget are silly. Making me use your email system instead of sending mails to my box is silly. Building your own amazing video player when there are tons of players out there that you could’ve just collaborated with to manage whatever thingy you needed added in is silly.
Just stop. Stop building the simple stuff....

Kremlin may close closes the European University... →
Late last year, the European University at St. Petersburg in Russia launched a project to study how elections in Russia could be protected from rigging. That line of inquiry pissed off Russian President Vladimir Putin. Feeling the Kremlin’s thumb, the university’s academic council killed the project on January 31. Yet just two weeks later, the St. Petersburg court shut down the school...

Evidence that L. Rob Hubbard plagiarised Scientology from a 1934 German book called “Scientologie.” The text seems to map to various hoo-haw from the cult’s official doctrine, too. Link (Thanks, Marilyn!)
