The hacking business model » #AltDevBlogADay
One of the founders of the MySQL database, Michael Widenius, co-wrote a manifesto of sorts with rules for running a company based on egalitarian and sustainable principles. I think it’s a great starting place for anyone looking to start their own company. It was originally posted on Zak Greant’s blog, and later used for founding Monty Program AB.

An Introduction to the Self-Released Album - MTT - Music Think Tank
In what seems like a past life, the only way to release an album was through a record label. The label had the money to pay for your recording, the ability to distribute it around the world, and the marketing resources to make sure people knew your album was hitting the stores. Today, any resourceful individual with a little bit of money and a lot of creativity can make an album commercially available to the same number of people as a major label.

How to Do (Almost) Everything With a Kindle 3 | Gadget Lab | Wired.com
I was actually surprised when I bought my Kindle not just by how much it could do, but by how well it did it. The Kindle suffers from two things: 1) it’s never going to do everything that a full-fledged computer or even a color touchscreen tablet can do; and 2) the Kindle 3 has improved on a whole slew of features that were either poorly implemented in or entirely absent from earlier iterations of the Kindle.

ned Productions - nedtries
So what if I told you that for the very common case of a pointer sized key lookup that the standard assumptions are wrong? What if there was an algorithm which provides nearly all the advantages of ordered indexation such as closest fit finds, except it has nearly O(1) complexity rather than O(log N) and is therefore 100% faster? What if, in fact, this algorithm is a good 20% faster than the typical O(1) hash table implementation for medium sized collections and is no slower even at 10,000 items?

How to evaluate and implement startup ideas using Hypothesis Driven Development - swombat.com
A startup idea is not a plan of action. A startup idea is a series of unchecked hypotheses. In essence, it is a series of questions that you haven't completely answered yet. The process of progressing a startup from idea to functioning business is the process of answering these questions, of validating these hypotheses.

Johnny Chung Lee - Projects - Wii
This makes the Wii Remote one of the most common computer input devices in the world. It also happens to be one of the most sophisticated. It contains a 1024x768 infrared camera with built-in hardware blob tracking of up to 4 points at 100Hz. This significantly out performs any PC "webcam" available today. It also contains a +/-3g 8-bit 3-axis accelerometer also operating at 100Hz and an expandsion port for even more capability. These projects are an effort to explore and demonstrate applications that the millions of Wii Remotes in world readily support.

I wanted to document the entire process to help structure my own thinking, as well as giving those who come after a roadmap to follow. After I launch, I will be reporting on the success of each segment of my plan.

Using Federated Authentication in Google App Engine - Google App Engine - Google Code
Federated authentication is a decentralized security mechanism not tied to any one particular provider, and OpenID is an open standard which implements federated authentication. With OpenID, users can create an identity (username and password [or alternatives such as biometrics, keyfob, etc.]) at any OpenID provider and be able to use that same identity at any online app which accepts OpenID logins. Google has supported the OpenID 2.0 protocol since 2008 in a variety of products such as Blogger and Google Apps
