Very revealing conversation with lots of info about the behind-the-scenes workings of Facebook as well as the site's future plans. Obviously, it's important to keep in mind this is an anonymous interview on the Internet. So who knows how true it is? AllofFacebook.com, a site dedicated to all things Facebook has an analysis but won't […]

Friday Fun Link – Fuck This Weather (January 8, 2010)
Appropriate for the first FFL of 2010 on a day where the mercury dropped to -48 with windchill (aka “hmmm, I did not realise that you could get frostbite there.”)
Friday Fun Link – Say '1810' (January 1, 2010)
Then remember this as the second decade of the new millennium begins. This year should be referred to as “twenty-ten”, not “two-thousand ten” (no matter what the Vancouver Olympics are being hyped as.) And yes, I know it's not technically the start of the new decade until next year but just like everyone celebrating […]
Friday Fun Link – Lists of the Year (December 19, 2009)
Yet another post that seems to have become an annual tradition is a link to Fimoculous, probably the best site for capturing “Best of the Year” lists in a range of categories.
Friday Fun Link – Library Arcade (December 11, 2009)
The links are broken but I still have to post them because they sound pretty wild. Apparently Carnegie Melon University developed a couple flash games a couple years ago – one about how to please patrons and one to test a person's skills in shelving under the LC system. (see original MetaFilter post)
Friday Fun Link – Mashup of NHL Player Birthplaces (November 27, 2009)
This is very cool. A Google Maps mash-up showing the birthplace of every player that's ever played in the NHL. Although there is the expected broad swath through Canada, the northern US, Europe and Russia, I was surprised at how many countries and continents are actually represented. (If you zoom in on the map, you'll […]
Friday Fun Link – The Longest Poem in the World (October 30, 2009)
LongestPoemInTheWorld.com takes updates from Twitter's public feed to create a never-ending stream of rhyming couplets – strangely engrossing.
Friday Fun Link – MailFreezr (Oct 23, 2009)
MailFreezr is a service which allows you to send an e-mail message to anyone anytime between 1-100 years from now (er, assuming the site's around then – which, even for it to be there in a year, I'd say the odds aren't that great! Plus who knows what technology will do in the next 5, […]
Friday Fun Link – Most Difficult Sports (Oct 17, 2009)
ESPN recently did a poll of various sports scientists and other experts to rank the most difficult sports using a variety of factors – strength, flexibility, endurance, hand-eye coordination, etc. etc. In the end, boxing came out as the top sport across all categories but was followed closely by ice hockey.Which leads to my next […]
Friday Fun Link – My Parents Were Awesome (Oct 9, 2009)
I think I sort of blew Pace's mind the other day when we were talking and I said “Daddy used to be little like you are now.” You could see the wheels turning and then he replied in a slightly awed voice, “Daddy no big? Daddy little?” Yep. Being a father really brings home how […]
