It’s Getting Hot In Here

Bjorn Lomborg, asshat or the biggest asshat? Discuss.

Blaze

The Blaze, a news site from Glenn Beck. From his introductory letter:

The Blaze will pursue truth. Of course we will make mistakes. Honest mistakes. And we’ll be quick with corrections. We intend to earn your trust and keep it day in and day out with hard work and a lot of transparency.

I look forward to the hard hitting conspiracy theories to come from The Blaze.

Lake of 1000 Islands

Island and Lake Combinations, including Largest Lake on an Island and Largest Island in a Lake on an Island. (Via Cliff Pickover’s Reality Carnival.)

Link Bait and Switch

Amy Thibodeau on Fast Company’s Influencer Project and what it attracts. I’ll say this, within my stream, I didn’t once see anyone I follow link to this. Not one. I find it pretty astounding that I don’t follow any Influential people though, without any “social media marketers” in the mix, I must run with the wrong crowd.

Dimensions

The BBC’s Dimensions is beyond clever. Enter your postal/zip code to see an overlay of the size of the event, place or thing right where you are. Great idea.

Mayyors

Henry Owings says goodbye to Mayyors who’ll be playing their final shows next month. Seriously, in the past couple of years, these guys are the only thing that have blown my mind. Sad that they’ll be packing it in.

The details are the design

Mike Rundle posts his response to this Dribbble shot heard round the world. Worth the read.

A Tale Of Two Cities

Tim Bray on the reporting of the recent Android security scare & iOS security issue. One of these issues was nothing and Android got nailed for it, the other is/was a pretty substantial security risk and it got glazed over. Embarrassing.
