"Deep in the bowels of the internet, I came across an exhaustive list of interesting Wikipedia articles by Ray Cadaster. It’s brilliant reading when you’re bored, so I got his permission to post the top 50 here." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

"Videotaped David running and jumping in the Reader’s Digest parking lot.  It’ll do for a start." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

"The HyGreen system reminds them to scrub—and keeps a record of who doesn’t." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

That's looks like a joke. A joke from 1993 - Matthew DeVries

"A designer who only knows Photoshop and Illustrator isn't going to cut it much longer (outside of print design)." This isn't a new observation, but it didn't turn out to be true five (or ten) years ago, and it likely won't turn out to be true today. There will always be a market for designers that produce pretty comps . Unfortunately. - Michael R. Bernstein

"Henry Markram says the mysteries of the mind can be solved -- soon. Mental illness, memory, perception: they're made of neurons and electric signals, and he plans to find them with a supercomputer that models all the brain's 100,000,000,000,000 synapses." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

The Kindle is going to get a run the question now is it too late - Rob Cairns

"In a previously unpublished Kurt Vonnegut story from a new book, the author bellies up to the bar." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

"I publish a magazine and I know a lot of magazine publishers. And they are forking over embarrassing sums of money to charlatans who say they can raise their search engine rankings. These magazines can barely pay their writers. That’s wrong and it has to stop." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

well said - suggest you read the original post too http://powazek.com/posts/2090 - mike "glemak" dunn

"YouTube may pay less to be online than you do, a new report on internet connectivity suggests, calling into question a recent analysis arguing Google’s popular video service is bleeding money and demonstrating how the internet has continued to morph to fit user’s behavior." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

The headline is misleading. They own pipes and trade traffic. It's bartering value for value, and they had to invest (and continue to invest) to get to that point. - LogEx

"SuperMemo is based on the insight that there is an ideal moment to practice what you've learned. Practice too soon and you waste your time. Practice too late and you've forgotten the material and have to relearn it. The right time to practice is just at the moment you're about to forget. Unfortunately, this moment is different for every person and each bit of information. Imagine a pile of thousands of flash cards. Somewhere in this pile are the ones you should be practicing right now. Which are they?" - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

The Pimsleur language series uses an essentially similar methodology, and they worked very well for me in learning French. - Joel Webber

"Every system has two sets of rules: The rules as they are intended or commonly perceived, and the actual rules ("reality"). In most complex systems, the gap between these two sets of rules is huge." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

"The irony was not lost on anyone in attendance at AIGA's national conference in Memphis last weekend. Marissa Mayer, "keeper" of the Google homepage since 1998, walked into a room filled with over 1,200 mostly graphic designers to talk about how well design worked at the design-dismissive Google. She even had the charts and graphs of user-tested research to prove it, she said. Designers shifted uncomfortably in their seats." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

"We’ve been deleting a lot of code from Scout. We’re ripping out major infrastructure, and in doing so, pulling the plug on functionality which, just six months ago, we believed would be crucial to our business. Most importantly, we’re simplifying the most complex, error-prone, and poorly-performing parts of the application. At the same time, our revenue and sales pipeline is growing at a faster rate." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

"Clara Shih, creator of the first business application on Facebook, talks about her application and what the World Wide Web of people means for interaction, relationships and enterprise software design. " - Lasse Johnsen

"As web professionals, we all know that the concept of the page fold being an impenetrable barrier for users is a myth. Over the last 6 years we’ve watched over 800 user testing sessions between us and on only 3 occasions have we seen the page fold as a barrier to users getting to the content they want." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet
