Today’s Top 10 – January 14, 2010
January 15th, 2010Inspired by Travis’s response to some of my and Allen’s ideas on the concept of information overload… I’ve decided to compile a top-ten of The Best Stuff That Happened In RSS Today.
Travis Brown: In fact, I’d probably pay somebody to provide me a list of the twenty most important articles from yesterday.
Perhaps I will make some money from Travis! Probably not. Let’s see how this goes.
Number 10: Gravity Ruler
This cool device for measuring luggage on the fly would be neat to see in production.
Number 9: Unladen Follow 2
Allen’s up to no good, and you can use his tool to learn exactly how annoying your friends really are.
Number 8: Nedroid wakes up repeatedly
Mariachi Bird should have his own TV show. I would watch it.
Number 7: XKCD cheats at high-school robotics
XKCD thinks of a novel way to win at robot soccer.
Number 6: Daring Fireball Eulogizes the Newton
John Gruber is not a villain from Die Hard. That is Hans Gruber. Mr. Not-The-Villain talks about the failure of the Newton.
Number 5: Dilbert on Focus Groups
Number 4: What Comes After HTML 5?
Scott Gilbertson talks about what’s next after HTML 5. As it turns out, it’s not HTML 6!
Number 3: The Price of Sexual Silence: $7.50
Lilith talks about how her deaf students, in a wealthy, conservative area of the United States, have received sexual education so insufficient that they don’t even know HOW BABBY IS FORMED.
Number 2: Hark, A Vagrant
Number 1: First Person Tetris.
First Person Tetris – This dizzying version of tetris plays best in ‘Night Mode’ with the music on. It’s a reminder of how addictive Tetris really is, with a mind-bending twist. Let me warn you, though, the Tetris God is a CRUEL and ANGRY god.
