editorvseditor:
I’ve been hearing a lot of chatter around the web lately about animated GIFs (more than usual anyway, since GIFs are always in style), and I need your input on this controversial topic. First, there’s the widely linked Slate piece, which compared the…

theparentingmystique:
I just reread Lori Gottlieb’s piece in this month’s Atlantic Magazine. It’s a very good article and worth reading though it will probably only serve to confirm many parents’ secret suspicion that they can do nothing right.
Basically, the article makes the case that parents are messing up their…

tgaul:
One of the things I’ve done several times in my career as a developer is to write color pickers. I was one of the authors of the color pickers in an early Mac painting program Color It! years (and years) ago. Since then, I made a couple freeware color picker components for the Apple extensible…

Facebook isn’t the newest kid on the social media block, but Mark Zuckerberg’s creation still has our hearts. Reasons why:
1. It allows us to post the most inane video clips that we’d otherwise email our friends en masse… no one likes spam, but everyone loves a cute distraction on their…

ME: My Jewish friend Jesse decided to poke fun at my Catholic upbringing by suggesting for Halloween, he be a priest and I be a little boy. I then objectively suggested I go as Hitler, and I’ll just carry a little bag of ashes around and say it was him. He hung up on me.
JESSE: I’m not quite…

I love my adopted home of Boston with all my heart, but the winters here profoundly suck. Yes, the first snowfall is gorgeous, but then they get old pretty quickly. And the skies are gray, the driving treacherous and parking impossible, and on its worst midwinter days the city looks like …

mbrochh:
I work on my computer every day. For many hours. And after that big parts of my after-hour-free-time also happens to be in front of the computer. To counteract this very unhealthy lifestyle I play basketball (nearly) every day for at least one hour.
Last week I did a bad move when playing…

Reading this piece by John Gruber, I did came across this quote by Josh Topolsky, which made me scratch my head a bit:
There is no native application for the Mac or iOS that replicates the shared document editing of Google Docs; there’s no mail application that exists for the Mac which will…

The Desonesto Doctrine: Infamous dictator killed... →
desonesto:
Because the killing of Moammar Khadafy didn’t have enough local flavor, the NY Post decided to lead with the fact that he was killed by a man wearing a Yankees hat.
Based on this headline, you’d expect that the youth who gunned down Khadafy knows Posada from Jeter and hates the Red Sox….

I recently made the decision to post a giant “Like Art and Science Lab on Facebook” icon on the upper-left hand corner of this blog, in spite of my extreme preference for minimalism in all of its forms—but particularly for the design of this page, which was constructed by “The Minimalist” in such…

I’m an iPhone junkie. And, until recently, I had little to no use for the iPad. Thankfully, I’m not required to check mail on my mobile devices. I’m at my laptop for most of the day, and on the subway I usually stick to Reeder, Instapaper , and NYTimes on my iPhone 4, since after using the retina display the iPad just feels cheaper than newsprint with its measly 132-dpi screen.
