I only watch a few shows regularly—Mad Men and Top Gear and both of these shows have been off the air for at least a year. Suffice to say, I haven’t been watching too much TV lately.
So I’m excited Mad Man is coming back April 7th.

On Google’s big earnings day, Google+ is a no-show
Has anyone told Google+ that MySpace and Friendster are having a party down the street and they should really go check it out?
No? Well, someone should.
Update: Sergey Brin is in the subway and already on his way. He’s dressed as a jewel thief from an 80’s movie and ready to rock.
John Hodgman says persistence trumps talent in all creative endeavors.
This is true.
Most people are allergic to Persistence and it’s sibling, Hard Work. Or as Chris Rock would say, Hard Work is like Kryptonite to most people.
If you persist and work hard at what you create, it further distinguishes you from those who might copy you. It also makes it harder for imitators to reach to level of quality you achieve in your creations.
This past October I applied WD-40 to my iPhone 4’s home button because it was barely registering clicks (or double clicks) anymore.
I’m happy to report after over 3 months, my home button is working better than ever.
For anyone who was suspect of this technique, I think the coast is clear.
Microsoft Might Kick In $1-$3 Billion To Help With The Dell Buy Out
$3 billion to keep Dell going?
It’s like supporting a horse carriage company during the golden age of automobiles.
If I were Michael Dell, I would give the money back to the shareholders (it never gets old).
What If Cars Were Rented Like We Hire Programmers?
Agency : No, we can only take on clients who know how to drive the cars we stock. We find it’s safer that way. There are so many little differences between cars, we just don’t want to take a chance.
Applicant : I have a drivers license. I know how to drive. I’ve been driving all kinds of cars for 15 years, I am sure I can adapt.
Agency : We appreciate your position, but we can only take exact matches. Otherwise, how could we ever know if you could drive one of our cars?
I’m a sucker for a good car analogy.

Looks like Group94 is relaunching their site next month:
Assume nothing, question everything. Group94 stands for highly tailored work. In an industry tending to standardization, offering more of the same, this appears to be an approach that works.
Developing in HTML5 nowadays did not change that…
Indeed every project starts from a clean slate, the goal is to make it fresh and innovative yet well thought out and usable, it must be fast and to the point and of a highest order from a technical point of view.
Can’t wait. I’ve been a fan of their work for years.
