The FCC (Still) Stinks at Defending the Internet
Apr 23, 10:41PM
The FCC's soon-to-be-proposed rules on net neutrality reportedly won't stop broadband providers from giving better service to people that pay for it. That stinks.

Cool visualization reveals how the number Pi looks
Apr 23, 9:31PM
Cristian Ilies Vasile has created the coolest visualization of Pi I've seen. First he divided a circle in 10 segments, from 0 to 9. Then he traced a path going from the third segment to the first segment. From 1, the path jumps to 4, then back to 1, then 5 and so on. After a while, π appears in front of your eyes. The final illustration is beautiful.

WSJ: The FCC's New Net Neutrality Rules Will OK Pay-to-Play
Apr 23, 8:15PM
Initial reports about the FCC's hotly anticipated net neutrality rules are out, and they are foreboding.

Apr 23, 7:40PM
On day two of my classic Mustang road trip with Ford Motor Co.'s top two designers, Moray Callum and I were concerning ourselves with the future. Not just the future of cars, cities, and design; but our own imminent futures. Because we were driving a half-century-old car, with antiquated brakes, insufficient tires, and zero safety devices—and it was snowing. And our windshield wipers had just quit.

Thoughts for Your Penny: The One-Cent Piece Is Worth a Century of Type
Apr 23, 5:20PM
Every few years, there are calls to retire the American penny (as cumbersome and too expensive to produce), and rebuttals to preserve it (for posterity and price stability).
