People enjoy going to the max… From here. It seems intuitive when you read it…apparently setting a maximum limit on what someone can do of something sort of encourages them to attempt to reach that maximum.
Unless we have a reason for being active we choose to do nothing – an evolutionary vestige that ensures we conserve energy. From here. I am thinking of collecting observations like these about humans that can help “hack” our behaviors towards “betterment”. For example this observation could be used to design activities like exercise or [...]
For a while now, I have noticed that some times, inexplicably, I would type in one URL in the URL entry field in Firefox, but I would end up at some sort of a search page at http://www.iwsearch.net/l/<some-part-of-whatever-url-I-typed>.

So I went through the hundreds of photographs I had taken over the last few years and picked out what I thought were a few great photographs. Then I signed up on iStockPhoto and uploaded [...]
` The iPhone and the iPad (as also the Motorola Droid and all the other Smartphones with their fancy virtual keyboards on the touch screen) do not support all possible keys in their virtual keyboards. A case in point is the backtick character. This makes it a problem when you need to enter the character [...]
Though in general it is true that you should simply leave C code optimization to the compiler, it sometimes is useful to provide hints to the compiler. This is because when optimizing the compiler has to make a few basic global assumptions so as to generate correct code in all situations, but these assumptions may [...]
Something from the New York Times… I’d finally managed to exile the voices in my head that told me my personal happiness was only as good as my outward success, rooted in things that were often outside my control.
