Good post up at Nieman Labs about journalism and technology.
The secret: Do something cool. But don’t do it assuming it will be the future. Do it because it’s cool. (Fun fact: I knew nothing about PHP until I dipped into SFB. My HTML was rusty. My CSS was outdated. But I still figured it out. Create a reality distortion field for yourself — assume nobody else...

Hilarious segment on The Daily Show - “Science: What’s it up to?”
This is a great parody of the sort of criticism science gets from the anti-intellectual right in this country. Aasif Mandvi does a great job of getting his interviewees to agree to ridiculous incriminating statements. This one was my favorite:
Aasif: What’s the point of teaching children facts if it’s just going...

According to Facebook, Virality is “the number of unique people who have...

“It was very, very impulsive”: According to the wife of disgraced, convicted former billionaire Bernie Madoff, the pair attempted to kill themselves about two weeks following Bernie’s confession that he’d been running a massive Ponzi scheme. They both took what they believed would be an overdose of pills before retiring to bed, only to both awake groggy but alive the next day. Ruth...
“Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn. My God do you learn.”

It confuses me when I see posts from young progressives about refusing to vote in 2012. Less than a year ago almost 80% of young people didn’t vote in the midterm elections. This is what happened. And this. And this. And this. Just look at what we have to show for that strategy.
