I guess I just hadn’t exercised it enough, because up until today I hadn’t been bothered by noise or heat. Today, as I prepare my portfolio and biography pages as a continued press towards Release 2.0 of my technology career, my MacBook is mooing and revving its engine. I’m not sure whether to keep working […]
I’m late to this particular usability party, but I just realized in converting to WordPress that permalinks are part of the user interface of a website. It didn’t initially seem problematic to me to mindlessly stick “.html” as the suffix to every WordPress permalink so as to get a little backward compatibility with my Blogger […]
My original Anne 2.0 blog was published by Blogger via ftp to my own webhost. I decided to switch to WordPress for these reasons:

Here’s my setup […]

Don’t we all speak the language of numbers? Back in my enterprisey days at Oracle, we used I18N almost exclusively in our extensive written spec and design documents on […]
Merlin Mann of 43 Folders has been exploring mindfulness and recently read Ellen Langer’s book on that subject. Though Langer takes a nondenominational approach in her book, many of her ideas overlap significantly with Buddhist principles, such as her perspective on categories, described here by Merlin:

One exciting thing about applying Web 2.0 concepts to the enterprise is how they might promote more fluid organizational dynamics.
