Compare Google Search Results to Yahoo Search Results.
Notes:
This is probably a very date-sensitive comparison of search results. If you’re reading this after September 1, 2006, it might not make sense.
This isn’t serious. If you want serious thoughts about search, go read Doug Cutting’s blog.
It’s weird being the number one result for “he looks like [...]

I had lunch today with a former co-worker. The conversation was mostly catching up, and mostly gossip about other co-workers.
But one of the other topics that we briefly touched on was how over-compensation can trap you.

Awesome talk by Cal Henderson tonight at the SDForum Software Architecture and Modeling SIG.

I like Rails. It’s a nice framework for web applications. I think that if you’re developing web applications, even if you’re not using Rails, you have reason to be thankful: most of the other frameworks are now trying to catch-up and that means that everyone building web apps has an easier time of it (except, [...]
