Cookies, tracking, and the ethics of ad-blocking

I must say that I find myself conflicted by this. I fully believe that users should be completely in control of their data, and should be completely in control of their browsing experience and how they set up their computers. But years of user-testing and user-centred design have taught me that for many users these are incidental issues - they are trying to achieve the task in hand with default settings.

Opera and the voice: once more with meaning | Music | The Guardian

My 25 years as music director of the National Theatre, though, made me wary of writing for the operatic voice with its strained vowels, the "scream" of the high soprano and the strangulated sound in the tenor's throat.

I was wrong about veganism. Let them eat meat (but farm it right) | George Monbiot | Comment is free | The Guardian

The ethical case against eating animal produce once seemed clear. But a new book is an abattoir for dodgy arguments

God of small things | Culture | The Guardian

The potter Edmund de Waal was a 17-year-old apprentice when he first set eyes on his great-uncle's collection of Japanese netsuke. Only later, when he inherited the tiny carvings, did he begin to understand the extraordinary story they told

Japan | Your shout | Money | The Guardian

• Japan an equal society? As long as you aren't female! Or black, or any kind of foreigner. A society where they still use the death penalty, where 99% of court cases end in convictions, where they defend the right to kill whales and bluefin tuna, and generally destroy the earth's resources. dmac from guardian.co.uk/money

#DataJourn part 1: a new conversation (please re-tweet) | Journalism.co.uk Editors' Blog

Had it not been published at the end of the workday on a Friday, Journalism.co.uk would have made a bit more of a song-and-dance of this story, but as a result it instead it got reduced to a quick blog post. In short: OU academic Tony Hirst produced a rather lovely map, on the suggestion (taunt?) of the Guardian’s technology editor, Charles Arthur, and the result? A brand new politics story for the Guardian on MPs’ expenses.

niksilver.com » Buzzmachine goes clunk: When media companies do tech

Jeff Jarvis has a typically provocative post, saying that newspapers should outsource their technology. Lloyd has already responded saying that there’s more to journalism than news-gathering, and previous technological mistakes should not close the door on future successes. Here’s my response.

InfoQ: Domain-Driven Design in an Evolving Architecture

Domain driven design can be most readily applied to stable domains in which the key activity is for developers to capture and model what is in users' heads. But it becomes more challenging when the domain itself is in a state of flux and development. This is common in Agile projects, and happens also when the business itself is trying to evolve. This article examines how we used DDD in the context of a two-year programme of work to rethink and rebuild guardian.co.uk.

I'm 37 today - officially middle-aged. But my body, apparently, is about to get its bus pass | Comment is free | The Guardian

And just to underline how despicably aged I am, life has dealt me a small yet significant blow. For a while now, I've found that it hurts to type. Within moments of sitting at my keyboard, a headache-like sensation grows in my arm. The muscles creak. The elbow feels hollow. I'd always assumed that people with RSI were just making it up, the crybabies. Now I'm one of them.
