And use a real template. With a color scheme that doesn't make me want to puke. Thank you, Don McMillan.
Quick article quoting some Internet "experts" on their views on the correlation between technology and intelligence.
I agree with one of the commenters: as an engineer, I want to see studies and qualitative results, not just opinions.
[Edit] Bonnie points out that a better question is the difference between logical and emotional thought and technology's impact on those two, as well as abstract reasoning.

Photoshop 1.0 on the iPhone
So cool. Totally useless and ridiculous, but it brings me back to the days of Photoshop 7 in my high school's darkroom.
The Windows 7 kernel is version 6.1 for "compatibility reasons". The Windows Phone 7 Series is based on the Windows CE 6 kernel. The current generation, Windows Mobile 6.5, is based on Windows CE 5. There are a whole lot of people at Microsoft who apparently can't count.
Wired editor Ean Ratliff attempted to disappear and recreate a new identity. To make it harder, hundreds of people were looking for him for a chance to win $5,000.
I'm not sure if the scariest part of this article is what he was able to do without an identity or what the people who were hunting him were able to do.
Excellent article that proposes an effective way of managing version control branching in git.
From clientsfromhell:
Me: "Ok, we've pushed the site live."
Client: "Why isn't the site #1 on Google yet?"
Me: "We just pushed it live five minutes ago."
Client: "Optimize the fireball."
Me: "I'm sorry? Do you mean the firewall?"
Client: "I need more hits NOW, so I need you to optimize the fireball. I know what I'm talking about!"
Me: "We'll get right on it."
Blogger post from one of my friends majoring in linguistics.

i feel in words. i feel in art, photos, and film, but mostly, i feel in words. i love the duality of patterning that gives words their meaning, the extra layers of meaning conjured by the hand, the pen, the keys of the gifted artist. words are art. words are abstract, creative, sure, and concrete. words are ever-changing, but have such a sense of constancy that they can soothe our hurts or inflame our tempers. words can drive away and words can bring together. words can confound. words can bring enlightenment.
i love words and their building blocks. i love the phonemes and allophones. i love the morphemes and allomorphs. i love the denotative and connotative meaning. i love words that give direction. i love the words to a song sung over the downtrodden and depressed. i love the power of the spoken and written.
i love the Word. i love the One who clothed Himself in the allophone of our condition, and took on the shame of our misplaced morphemes. i love the Word who made Himself understood. i love the One whose shift of register shattered the cultural connotations of grace, mercy, and love. i love the Word who is Love. i love the ability to express that He gives. i love that He created. i love that the way i put together words and learned how to use them in language speaks to a Universality outside of humanity that spoke into being my speech and your speech. i love His meaning. His absolute, universal, transcendent meaning. i love that He redefines everything.
i love the Word. i. love. Jesus.
Good article on megapixels, ISO, and all those other numbers that your digital camera comes with.
