Less Is More
Mashable has an interesting article about why Twitter persists despite frequent performance issues: “Less is more. Simplicity is power.” By providing little more than an API, upon which numerous others have built tools, it doesn’t so directly compete with other services. I wonder if perhaps this is the right approach for a learning system? One…

A Better Convention Badge
A Better Convention Badge, originally uploaded by Ezra F. After Star Trek:The Experience, I put the ticket stub in the back of the DevCon name badge. Here it is backwards. Ironically, at breakfast just after the picture, I was let into the dining room with it this way. 🙂

NCC-1701-D, originally uploaded by Ezra F. No flash lets one see the lights better than with flash. Taken at the Star Trek: The Experience at the Hilton in Las Vegas. If you want to catch it, then you need to go by there before September 1 when it closes. 🙁

They worked too hard, so I had plenty unsupervised time to violate the rules. Plus no force would make me do homework. The past half decade has seen a resurgence…

ST:XP Shutting Down
Star Trek: The Experience is shutting down September First? Geeks don’t make the annual pilgrimage to pray at the alter of the captain’s chair. Maybe Vegas is too expensive.

Firefox 3 and SSL Certificates
Apparently LinkedIn.com let their SSL certificate expire this morning. Assuming they really let it expire, this is a big oops. Hopefully, someone in their Production Operations Group has been alerted to the problem and is working on getting a new one. The screenshot is from Firefox 3. In the old days, Firefox or Netscape used…
