Things I read, liked and bookmarked in the last 24 hours:
- Cuttin’ Glass and Taking Names Ever looked at a wine bottle to admire its shape, color, or translucent qualities?
Yep, me too. This looks like a neat project to make some decorative and/or fun glasses.
- Delete Your Account Ever want to delete a rusty online account but don’t want to navigate a maze of unfamiliar preferences to do so? If you’re drowning in social networking, blogging, and other sites, web site Delete Your Account shows you how to extricate yourself painlessly.

It seems so obvious: If you want to develop software that’s useful to people, you’ve got to talk with them. But too many developers take the anti-social approach and consider customer support to be beneath their status… If you really want to write useful software, stop spending all your time keeping up with technology. Don’t worry if your resume isn’t filled with the latest buzzwords. Instead, invest your time in talking with your customers. They don’t care what programming language you use – they only care whether your software meets their needs, and the best way to ensure that is by breaking out of your cone of silence and opening the lines of communication.
