* I love the idea of “Technical Debt“. Not a good thing to have, but what an excellent way to describe it.

* “The first fully mobile sports chat network. FanChatter is a micro-blogging site targeted at sports fans. … FanChatter allows sports fans to create groups and chat on the web or via their mobile phones. Fans can also use their camera phone to send in photos. If you like to talk about sports, give it a try.” via Rail Spikes


* Quote: “We live in a world that assumes that the quality of a decision is directly related to the time and effort that went into making it.” Blink by Malcolm Gladwell

* What is a “Feed“? Hint: I use this on Project Oriel to automatically display my latest photos posted to flickr, what I am currently reading, and what movies I have at home from netflix (among a few other things)

* Literally – An English language grammar blog tracking abuse of the word “literally”

* 1-800-GOOG-411 graduates from Google Labs. I originally mentioned the service back in April. Considering the standard charges for calling 411 from a cell phone this free service is a welcome offering.

* 92 web applications created in 48 hours. “First place went to TastyPlanner – A rather simple recipe sharing site. Second place to Checkbook – An online checking account management app.” and “Third place to Admiteer – Event management and ticket sales.” All applications were (naturally) created with Ruby on Rails.

* Quote: “There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things” – Phil Karlton
