The hidden value of processing.js

We’re already starting to see the results. John released his code on Thursday. By Friday, someone had already duplicated the processing.js environment as a XUL program and someone else already created an editor where you can try out processing scripts

John Gruber is pretty good at picking good quotes out of an article.

And on the Other Side, the Angry Drunk:

Darby Lines on the Safari-for-Windows software update nano-scandal:

Second, bitching that anyone is a ‘bad’ Windows citizen is the rhetorical equivalent of arguing that one turd in a sea of shit is particularly stinky. Microsoft is a bad Windows citizen.

The Best TIME Covers.

Observations:

  • By a large margin (12,900 votes compared to 2,700 for the runner-up), Ellen’s “Yup, I’m Gay” cover is ranked as #1, above the striking 9/11 cover and the Challenger disaster (as of this writing). Take from that what you will.
  • The “best of the year” covers for 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 document the… well, let’s be honest, the legacy of the Bush administration.

Sundance - Why Didn’t You Show Deaer Zachary??:
Dear Zachary is a documentary made by Andrew Bagby’s filmmaker friend Kurt Kuenne. Andrew was murdered a few years ago and this documentary was made to capture the memories of Andrew in order to show his son Zachary the kind of man he was. That’s all you need to know going in, because the less you know, the more you’ll gain coming out of this. It moved me to tears and left me astounded at the end - this is a film that deserves more appreciation than it’s getting.
