"Simply, write notes to yourself on your mouse pad using just the pressure from your finger or the built in plastic stylus as a “pen.” Cool thing is, just like your childhood toy the magic slate, you can erase the notes at any time simply by flipping up the semi-transparent top sheet." - Michal Cierniak from Bookmarklet

"The EOS-1D Mark IV also delivers extreme low-light performance. Standard ISO on the EOS-1D Mark IV ranges from 100-12,800, while extended ISO ranges from a low of 50 to 102,400 – the highest ISO ever offered by a Canon SLR. This extreme low-light performance makes the EOS-1D Mark IV ideal for night shots or shooting at evening events, where the lack of light would normally make shooting impossible." - Michal Cierniak from Bookmarklet

"Now Garcia and other local residents are pushing to raise funds for a new kind of playground, accessible to everyone — kids and parents, disabled and not. The universal playground, called "The Magical Bridge," would be built behind the Abilities United building in a shady, unused area of Mitchell Park, and incorporate features ranging from play structures with ramps to a playhouse large enough for a wheelchair." - Michal Cierniak from Bookmarklet

Hmm... The word "basic" is coupled with unlimited storage and bandwidth. - Michal Cierniak from Bookmarklet

"Theorem. There exist irrational numbers A and B so that A^B is rational." - Michal Cierniak from Bookmarklet

It took me just 10 seconds to find this proof I remembered from school. First result in: http://www.google.com/search... - Michal Cierniak

It's also interesting what Google search suggests after you type just "two irra". Surprisingly Bing doesn't suggest anything. - Michal Cierniak

Friends recommended this as having good performances for children. - Michal Cierniak from Bookmarklet

"We are pleased to announce 3 new features in today's release of the Google Sidewiki API: "includeLessUseful=true" - A new query parameter that allows you to fetch all available Sidewiki entries, not just only the useful ones. It is applicable to all feeds. "sidewiki:usefulness" - A new element that indicates whether an entry is useful or not according to our quality algorithm and user votes. "Domain Path" Feed - A new feed that gives you the ability to fetch all entries written for a particular domain." - Michal Cierniak from Bookmarklet

""Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it." --Brian Kernighan" - Michal Cierniak from Bookmarklet

Such a great quote. I like to think of it as a simple mathematical basis for the KISS principle, as it applies to software development. If you're ever looking for evidence of it in action, try making sense of a nasty compiler error from a C++ template -- it's not technically debugging, I suppose, but it's kind of the same problem. - Joel Webber

I'm thinking of using this as a comment for code reviews. - Michal Cierniak
