Which camera is best? The model a step up from the one you just bought.
When will the right camera for you be available? Probably next year.

City Fits, Eventually, for New Arrivals →
My experience in Boston is exactly the same as this article about New York City. Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe cities are inherently like this by composition. Also, I love Boston and NYC.

Nerd Planning
This is the strategic plan for the rest of 2008. I usually do this in my head but since I have readers now I thought an infographic would help. While I would like to think this is a near certain (99.995%) outcome, there are things that could make Vacation come out of nowhere for the win but we are talking astroid destroying planet odds.
Be still my heart, the Nikon D90 awaits.

Awful, Regardless

Fast & Furious (2009) Trailer in HD →
Paul Walker groans through “Hey,” Jordana Brewster smiles, Vin Diesel gives a smirk. There was some dirty dancing and some guns involved. I think I saw this movie but can you believe it’s been almost 10 years? Did you know there are cars in this movie?

Design Improves Democracy
Can effective design help improve democracy? I put together the standard ballot and a best-of design from AIGA based on research and guidelines above for comparison. This is such a wonderful example of how design can be a critical element in the basic function of a standard practice. While the top 10 election design guidelines sound obvious and simple, it’s obvious that they are widely...

Like a desperate guy waiting for a prom date, CNN finally got their dream fulfilled. Nice to tease it. Ladies take note, you can learn a thing or two from the Obama Campaign’s senior class on teasing.

Fish Tale Has DNA Hook - Students Find Bad Labels →
Interesting how examining a sequence of DNA is like developing film. I would buy a portable hand-held DNA fish sequencer.

– Dealbook - Running a Hedge Fund Is Harder Than It Looks on TV
Yesterday, someone said “What is a hedge fund?” and someone else quickly replied “it’s like something for trust fund babies.” That is not quite true at all and this nicely sums up the challenges. If you can...

Video: BlackBerry Bold vs. iPhone Web Browser... →
A long time ago when Apple started developing software and technologies that seemed disparate and random, there was a lot of criticism as to the futile nature of developing software that already existed. The Safari web browser platform was a particular case of “is this really necessary?” since Apple was so reliant on Microsoft to provide Internet Explorer and it seemed like a lot of...

– NATO Ministers Warn Russia, No ‘Business as Usual’
Way to drop those balls and stick it to the USSR. No I meant Russia. What’s NATO’s superpower again? If I had to put NATO inline with DC’s superheroes I would put it right under Ant Man.

A Picture Correction
I wanted to correct this great photo with some important captions. I feel like this picture with captions is a more accurate portrayal of reality.
