Interesting way of getting people to upload book covers.

You can increase the text size and have backlit pages if you read on your iphone!

Bonus points if you can handle articles without a DOI and preprints.
If anybody wants to write a stable & precise article URL to DOI web service (a la Connotea and Bibsonomy) I promise there's a market...
Been to eye hospital. Doctor suggested cutting back on screen staring time. Unsure how to translate this into practice.

adjusting screen height, refresh rate, and font sizes can also help address eye strain

Actively close your eyes at least every 30 minutes for a minute. Have the screen upper end be below your chin when looking straight ahead.

focus far away and then mid range and then at the screen every so often? Helps if you have a window so you can look at the distance, then at the window, then at stuff on your desk.

brembs: thought the top of the screen was supposed to be at eye height? http://www.tricare.mil/cap...

I have the same problems now with too much screen time so i've adopted a simple change - every hour I get up and walk outside and spend at least 5 minutes just looking at the world. Allows my eyes to relax and clears the brain :) Basically it's what Christina says, you need to mix close, midrange an far focus during your work day

Work's pretty good with ergonomics issues so I've got the screen height etc. set up right. Nowhere near a window but I guess I should be taking a break every hour anyway.

Really interesting. It tracks a particular subset of links rather than a subset of people which makes things easier but means they have great coverage. via @twalf.

How can you show the details of a history visually? Time provides one obvious dimension. What else can you show to tell the story? Most timeline charts use a 2D representation, time x {place or theme}. Some are more successful in integrating additional dimensions. This page is an annotated visual gallery of some timeline designs from their origin to today. Although time is one-dimensional, telling some story of history visually is much more complex, and it is quite instructive to see together how different graphic designers have aproached this problem.
