37Signals profiled in Time Magazine
37Signals was recently profiled in Time magazine. MSM usually screws up somewhere. And, they did… I thought this was funny.
To help build Basecamp, Campfire and the company’s other core applications, Hansson developed Ruby on Rails. It gives 37signals’ software a consistent look: sleek, friendly and without the extraneous bells and whistles that plague much of the bloated software sold by larger companies.
Hmmm. ok! Use RoR to build applications with a consistent sleek look.

The Dilbert Blog
If you enjoy Dilbert and would like to get more of Scott Adam’s humour, you should read the Dilbert Blog. I think he’s funnier on the blog than in his comic strip.

Why Chinese is so damn hard
Read this very entertaining essay about the Chinese language and the author’s attempt to learn it. It’s common knowledge that Chinese is a very inefficient language, but it takes a linguist to tell you exactly why it’s a nightmare to learn.

Ambient noise through headphones
NYTimes writes about a new pair of headphones from Shure which has a switch to cut off the music. What’s amusing is that it also has an external microphone which picks up ambient noise. So, you’re listening to the sounds around you via a mike and headphones. What’s next? Spectacles with built-in video cameras to see?

Is this a name?
This is what politics has come to. The name of a new political party is DIC(K) – the Democratic Indira Congress (K). I’m sure the reporter had a good laugh writing this news article. Or, is it just a problem with me?

I’m rich!
I’m the 862,975,421th richest person in the world. That’s an approximate figure I assure you. It might be a few million off the mark!
Global Rich List lets you enter your annual salary and breaks the bad news. But looking at it another way, I’m in the top 14% of the rich list of the world.
Much better….

Weird keyboard
What the hell were they thinking?
What you see above is a blatant ridiculous effort at massaging the egos of geeks. A keyboard with completely blank keys.
Standout line –
All keyboards are not born equal
Evidently, neither are all humans.
