Nerdy Insights

  • Findings from The Survey For People Who Make Websites 2010 - awhile back the folks from A List Apart did a pretty extensive bit of surveying and have now posted the findings from those inquiries. Maybe this is old news (it was new to me) but the insight it provides is interesting. Most interesting is looking at Time At Current Job, Number of Paid Vacation Days, Amount of Last Raise and how your situation might fit into all that.
  • IBM develops instantaneous memory - I'm sure it will be some time before we start seeing this in actual devices but the description sounds promising; reads and writes 100x faster than flash memory and is reliable for millions of write-cycles.
  • Twitter Co-Founders Depart for new Endeavor - Biz Stone, Jason Goldman and Evan Williams are apparently departing from Twitter to start in on some new organization. While this probably means absolutely nothing for how the Twitter service behaves it is interesting to see the big guys head off to something new now that the serious groundwork has been pretty much set in place for Twitter.

What is it you're looking for?
