James Clark's Random Thoughts: Thai personal names SAVE
PEOPLE
A great discussion on global variations of personal names. At some point, we need to ask ourselves to what extent localization is even possible. Processes, protocols, yes – websites? Maybe not.TAGS

PEOPLE
One day I'll go straight razor. But in the meantime, this shop has an amazing selection of very nice shaving things. The Feather blades in particular are fantastic.TAGS

Branding the Boroughs SAVE
PEOPLE

Doctorow: DRM advocates are "the real pirates" SAVE
PEOPLE
Hand-me-down books is actually a great analogy. I've purchased books that I once owned but lost or lent to people. There's no reason that I won't continue to do that with e-books, assuming the cost-convenience ratio is right.TAGS

Skyscrapers as Farms SAVE
PEOPLE
This is simple and would totally work. Having lived in Vancouver's skyscrapers, I can say first-hand that they're great greenhouses. We had a planter box on the 7th floor of one that produced tomatoes into November (in Vancouver, outside!). I'd love to see what could be done with some simple modifications. Getting strata permission would be a "problem", but if it could be done... Holy crap.TAGS

Unfortunately, iPhone developers seem convinced that because their app is trustworthy, there's no reason to distrust any other desktop applications.TAGS
