Game Theorist: What my 11 year old's Stanford course taught me about online education
"On one occasion he decided he did not want to eat a particular vegetable for dinner. We said that he wouldn’t be leaving the table until he did so. I said, 'now use your game theory to forecast what the outcome of this is and let me know what you decide.' He laid out his options, our reactions and everyone’s payoffs and worked out that he would do well to eat his vegetables sooner rather than later."

We're in an icon-sharpness limbo
"With the rise of Retina displays people are looking for resolution independent alternatives to PNG icons. Some fell in love with font-icons, some are shouting “SVG”. But I’m sorry, if you’re looking for a silver bullet, I’m afraid it doesn’t exist. Let’s take a closer look at our options: "

HTML5 Rocks - How Browsers Work: Behind the Scenes of Modern Web Browsers
"In the years of IE 90% dominance there was nothing much to do but regard the browser as a "black box", but now, with open source browsers having more than half of the usage share, it's a good time to take a peek under the engine's hood and see what's inside a web browser. Well, what's inside are millions of C++ lines..."

ignore the code: Realism in UI Design
"The trick is to figure out which details help users identify the UI element, and which details distract from its intended meaning. Some details help users figure out what they’re looking at and how they can interact with it; other details distract from the idea you’re trying to convey. They turn your interface element from a concept into a specific thing. Thus, if an interface element is too distinct from its real-life counterpart, it becomes too hard to recognize. On the other hand, if it is too realistic, people are unable to figure out that you’re trying to communicate an idea, and what idea that might be."

My uncle is insane. He also lives in a cave. [img heavy]
"The walls are made of stone, intricately carved out into an art form reminiscent of the flow seen in ancient Indian art. They looked like lotus petals, almost soft, but overall just aesthetically overwhelming. It was so clean, so fresh... the cool air inside was very refreshing compared to the blistering heat outside. There was a complete working fireplace in the main area that looked like a devilish face. The domes at the top of the cave were fashioned with lights, and the bottoms were covered in a sealant that was pocked with flecks of real gold. This sealant was everywhere actually, with the gold accentuating every curve of this hidden masterpiece."

'Chameleon Guitar' blends old-world and high-tech
"The Chameleon Guitar -- so named for its ability to mimic different instruments -- is an electric guitar whose body has a separate central section that is removable. This inserted section, the soundboard, can be switched with one made of a different kind of wood, or with a different structural support system, or with one made of a different material altogether. Then, the sound generated by the electronic pickups on that board can be manipulated by a computer to produce the effect of a different size or shape of the resonating chamber."

www.phpguru.org: Whats new in HTML5?
"HTML4 has been with us for a while now, roughly ten years. And it hasn't really seen a major update. Sure there's XHTML, but that did little more than make things slightly stricter - making you write better quality code if you were at all concerned with compliance. HTML5 does more than that. For one thing it adds a few new features. Not a huge amount, but the ones that it does add are very useful. "

How-To: Build a WiFi biquad dish antenna - Engadget
"We expected to get one AP, but five is even better. Looking through the info strings we were able to determine where the APs were since the WISP had named them according to the town they are in. The AP on channel 5 is the one we pointed at in town A, 2.4 miles away. The AP on channel 6 is located in town B, 8.2 miles away. The two APs on channel 1 are a bridge between town A and town C which is located 2.6 miles directly behind the dish."
