Dominos: Changing the feedback model →
I don’t know about you, but the idea of ordering food online has had promise, but often falls flat. When I lived in Boulder I would order from The Sink, but they would call you back and confirm the order, which kinda defeated the point. If you don’t get a call back though, then you wonder… “hmm is someone on the other end of this web site thing? Are they REALLY going to bring my food!” Dominos has...

Library Agnostic LightBox →
There are a lot of lightboxes out there. Most use specific libraries such as jQuery, Prototype or MooTools but few, if any, are completely library agnostic. This poses a challenge when you want to incorporate, say, a really cool lightbox from MooTools into a Prototype application. Michael J. I. Jackson (no relation to the singer) wanted to address that and I think he’s done a stellar job with his...

Getting HTML 5 styles in IE 7+ →
Btw, if you want CSS rules to apply to unknown elements in IE, you just have to do document.createElement(elementName). This somehow lets the CSS engine know that elements with that name exist.
This was uttered by Sjoerd Visscher innocently on a Sam Ruby thread, and it sent ripples of “huh? really? How come I never know that!” through all of the experts. This fact means that you the...

Two AI Pioneers, Two Bizarre Suicides →
BotnetZombie writes “Wired tells the quite sad but very interesting stories of Chris McKinstry and Pushpinder Singh. Initially self-educated, both had the idea to create huge fact databases from which AI agents could feed, hoping to eventually have something that could reason at a human level or better. McKinstry leveraged the dotcom era to grow his database. Singh had the backing of MIT,...

There’s a fine line between humor and condescension; more than a few customers felt that hosting provider Dreamhost crossed that line today.
The company overbilled nearly every customer, by a total $7.5 million dollars. The mea culpa came in the form of a blog post that featured Homer Simpson and featured such quips as “The joke is on you!” along with an apology and explanation. Basically, their...
