This is a huge problem for anyone thinking about building online communities. Don’t focus on white males. Everybody else is already doing that. (via How White Is The New Internet?)

To those who might wish to “torrent” this video: look, I don’t really get the whole “torrent” thing. I don’t know enough about it to judge either way. But I’d just like you to consider this: I made this video extremely easy to use against well-informed advice. I was told that it would be easier to torrent the way I made it, but I chose to do it this way anyway, because I want it to be easy for people to watch and enjoy this video in any way they want without “corporate” restrictions.
Please bear in mind that I am not a company or a corporation. I’m just some guy. I paid for the production and posting of this video with my own money. I would like to be able to post more material to the fans in this way, which makes it cheaper for the buyer and more pleasant for me. So, please help me keep this being a good idea. I can’t stop you from torrenting; all I can do is politely ask you to pay your five little dollars, enjoy the video, and let other people find it in the same way.
Sincerely, Louis C.K.
On visualizations
Ignore the font. This is a great presentation. For other excellent writing on visualizations (besides Tufte) I highly recommend Stephen Few’s Information Dashboard Design.
PSA: MacFuse → OSXFUSE
If you, like me, sometimes need to mount a non-standard file system on a Mac, you’ve probably used MacFuse. If you’ve tried to do so in the past three years, you’ve probably been disappointed that MacFuse is no longer maintained. Well struggle no more! Make the switch to OSXFUSE, the MacFuse successor.
OSXFUSE has a compatibility layer with MacFuse, so you can use your existing MacFuse extensions, but it also provides a better system for future file system extensions.
Anyway, use OSXFUSE and be happy.
Innovation is Not Just Putting Things Wherever
The Mini Cooper is a fun car to drive: it has a tight turning radius, decent acceleration, and responsive handling.
It is not, however, a fun car to operate.
Take the turn signals. If you were the driver behind me on the freeway, you might be forgiven for thinking that the primary function of these blinking lights was to alternate incessantly between left and right, indicating nothing so much as the reduced mental capacity of the driver.
Unlike most vehicles in its class, the turn signals on the Mini Cooper do not remain depressed after signaling a turn. Instead, the stem returns to the ready position, leaving the vehicle operator with an interesting conundrum: how the fuck does one turn off the signal? If you guessed a 50% depression of the stem in the original direction of signaling, you did better than I.
This careful attention to the flouting of automotive interface conventions continues in nearly every aspect of the instrument cluster, from the iconic, oversized speedometer mounted in the center of the console to the volume knob conveniently isolated from every other stereo control, to the center mounted window controls (admittedly I’ve encountered this poor decision before).
Katherine’s garden is starting to bloom, and she’s asked me to document it.
Next she wants bees.
Bees.
Strawberries.
Great News for the FTC
