Quote of the Day

For the past 4 years or so, I’ve worked without ever having a clock in sight. I don’t wear a watch, I removed the clock from the menu bar of my computer, and I cover up any clocks I can’t remove. I realized that watching the clock, even subconsciously, is stressful. You’re always aware of the time ticking by, wondering if you’re getting enough done or if it’s time to eat lunch yet. But you can’t fully focus if part of your mind is keeping track of the time, so I decided to experiment by going clockless. Four years later, and there is no going back. Sure, sometimes I accidentally forget to eat lunch, or stay up until 3am when I meant to go to bed at 10pm, but I think of that as a feature, not a bug. If I was able to skip those things without noticing, I was probably in the zone, and 3 hours of zone time is equivalent to about 8 hours of fractured time, so it’s well worth the trade. via

Did You Know?

Here’s a scary figure for you - 57% of consumers will abandon a site after only a 3 second wait. Where do you think they’re going? For a typical query to Google often thousands of relevant results are returned. There’s plenty of options available so there’s no real need to hang about when a page takes it’s time in getting you the content your interested in. If the top result is slow, we’ll likely just try result number two in the list. (Source)

Interesting observations about the English Wikipedia:

Almost half of all the text added gets reverted.
Over three quarters of contributions from registered users are from someone who’s had a contribution reverted.
Half of the top 50 contributors (by amount contributed) are bots. via

Take a journey back to a time to before CGI, when pyrotechnics and model-making were the chief tools in science fiction’s special effects. From Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey to Gerry Anderson’s UFO and Space: 1999, one man was central in setting the standard for the Star Wars enterprise to come… (Source)

Quote of the Day

"Mediocrity"? I agree for the most part, but Myslewski makes it sound as though the only reason the iPad dominates the tablet-market is because everyone is merely jumping on the Apple bandwagon. What makes Apple great, however, is not that it lacks interest in specs, as if it neglects these elements. Apple does not ignoretechnical specifications, rather it chooses to forgo the latest, fastest technology in the spirit of maintaining other elements of the user experience, such as its virtually unrivaled battery life. via
