Ugh. It must be summer because my blogging has seriously been on a summer schedule.
Hidden Worlds: What Goes on Behind Your Favorite Webpages - ahhahaha! Beautiful!
Why are restaurant websites so horrifically bad? - When you, as a visitor, think about a restaurant web site there are, really, only three things you want to see; menu (with prices), hours, location... amirite? Also, I'd like that Web site to be easily accessible from a smart phone.
Meridith Gran says: you want to support women in comics, then pay them
What it's like being a writer - Ha!
Edible Star Wars sushi garnishes
Designers, Do You Really Know Anything About Design? - I especially like their blog recommendations for learning design theory.
Online business tools that make your life easier
My Body Gallery - an intriguing site where you can browse bodies that look like yours to help you get a better grip on what you look like. For example, this photo is pretty much what my body looks like! :O And this photo is more where I want to end up. I don't know how it works for other people, but it's reassuring for me to see these ladies with similar body types and realize that yes, when I'm 180lbs at 5'9" a size 12-14 is normal and is there a huuuge difference between how I look at 180lbs and 165lbs? Hmmmm....
How America Turned Poverty into a Crime - Very interesting stuff.
Social-media justice... I'm not going to lie. I can see how it's a useful tool but it bothers me a lot. I very strongly believe in privacy when in public. I don't like cameras on the streets. Google streetview makes my skin crawl when there are people in the shots.
London's police force is crowd-sourcing IDs of looters from the riots and I have strongly conflicting feelings about it. Especially as there's now a Google-made face recognition software being used. My skin. Is. Crawling. Yes, of course I think there needs to be justice served but this... it is disquieting.
