Why We Shouldn’t Make Separate Mobile Websites
Why does everyone assume a “seperate mobile website” means something stripped down, and something that doesnt give access to all the content?

Lea Verou: In defense of reinventing wheels
I tend to agree with Lea, here. Assuming an existing library for something is right for your needs is just as asinine as assuming your own work will always be better. These things have to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Also, another benefit of reinventing wheels: learning. You learn a helluva lot more when you write something yourself than when you grab an off-the-shelf library.

Reading “Game of Thrones” in the Real World
Khoi talks about the sponteanous, happenstance encounters that occur when you read physical books, observing that the same generally doesn’t happen with ebooks. I bet those guys that used to carry a boombox on their shoulder had happenstance encournters, too.

Ryan Funduk: Our Culture of Exclusion
Ryan has a lengthy rant about the culture in the tech community and how much of it seems to revolve around alcohol. Conferences have after-parties at bars, meetups are typically at bars, companies have beer in the fridge, etc. It’s a well-written piece with some thoughtful points, but for me it has two glaring and problematic issues. First, virtually all of the examples Ryan cites (tweets, etc) are clearly jokes. It’s obvious they were posted to get a laugh, not to brag about drinking, and certainly not to exclude anyone who doesn’t drink. Second, Ryan doesn’t seem to be aware that moderation, as a concept, exists. He constantly uses the word “binge,” suggesting that these conferences and such are encouraging drinking in excess. I’ve never seen that from any conference I’ve attended, and I’ve never seen people “wasted” at work, either. He turns one company’s “weekly happy hour” into “getting sloshed” with no evidence at all that’s what really happens, and certainly no evidence that the company in question encourages it. When conferences and companies start saying, “non-drinkers are not allowed,” then I’ll be outraged at the exclusion. But right now, Ryan is choosing to exclude himself because he doesn’t want to be in the presence of alcohol. That’s fine, and it’s his right, but it’s a very different thing than conferences and companies actively excluding non-drinkers.

The Man Who Broke Atlantic City
If you enjoy gambling, and especially if you enjoy blackjack, you gotta read this story. Hell, even if you don’t, it’s an incredible tale.
