After all the terrible films that Jackie Chan has been in for the last decade, this one could be a breath of fresh air.

So, this is from an anti-advertising blog, but I can see it being very useful. I’d lvoe to check out a neighborhood and peek at storefronts to see what’s new, read up-to-date flyers on the doors of businesses, menus in the windows of restaurants, etc.

TextMate, which I use every day, has been largely unchanged for over three years. Despite being the product of a single developer (Allan Odgaard) so long ago, there are still no good alternatives to this fantastic piece of software.

Notes on adding subtle depth to user interface elements.

It sounds even creepier than when HAL sung it.

More good commentary (support, with additional nuance) on the Clay Shirky rant.
