Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.<br/> 2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the evidence is sure to come to light.<br/> 3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.<br/> 4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband or your children, endeavour to overcome it by argument and not by authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.<br/> 5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always contrary authorities to be found.<br/> 6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you do the opinions will suppress you.<br/> 7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.<br/> 8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement, for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper agreement than the latter.<br/> 9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.<br/> 10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool’s paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness.</p>”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2012/05/bertrand-russells-10-commandments-for-teachers.html">Bertrand Russell’s 10 Commandments for Teachers — Marginal Revolution</a></em>http://so.ca/post/22568230507http://so.ca/post/22568230507Sun, 06 May 2012 23:30:32 -0400“Responsive design might work for uncomplicated, one-off websites, he said, but for applications or networks (such as LinkedIn is), responsive design is actually bad. “We’re looking at the ‘entrenched’ use case [for desktop users], the coffee-and-couch use case [for tablet users], the two-minute use case [for mobile phone users],” Prasad said, rapidly outlining a few of the ways people are interacting with digital information and highlighting how unique each of those scenarios can be — and how different are the needs they present. “You can’t take a mobile app and just scale it up to tablet or desktop,” he said. “A lot of responsive design is building one site that works everywhere, and that works for websites. But it’s bad for apps… You have to come up with a completely different design because of the use case.””<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://venturebeat.com/2012/05/02/linkedin-ipad-app-engineering/#s:stream_ipad_frame">You’ll never believe how LinkedIn built its new iPad app (exclusive) | VentureBeat</a></em>http://so.ca/post/22355490644http://so.ca/post/22355490644Thu, 03 May 2012 21:05:19 -0400programming“Today I want to discuss the process by which girls become math and cs nerds.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://mathbabe.org/2012/04/08/on-the-making-of-a-girl-nerd/">On the making of a girl nerd « mathbabe</a></em>http://so.ca/post/21679590920http://so.ca/post/21679590920Mon, 23 Apr 2012 19:54:09 -0400tech programming<a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-04-22/software-engineers-will-work-one-day-for-english-majors.html">Software Engineers Will Work One Day for English Majors</a>http://so.ca/post/21646937350http://so.ca/post/21646937350Mon, 23 Apr 2012 10:32:26 -0400programming“<p>There’s a stage in a product cycle where you know it’s going to ship.

I don’t have to sit down and think about a title and content, and I’m not expected to publish immediately. The disconnection between draft ideas and published posts makes a big subconscious difference. It allows ideas to start abstractly, to ruminate for a while, and then, as I work on them, to become more and more concrete until they’re ready to be published as articles. The side effect of this is that ideas I would never have written down before now become fully developed posts. It has hugely surprised me.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://dcurt.is/">Dustin Curtis</a></em>http://so.ca/post/19830493922http://so.ca/post/19830493922Sat, 24 Mar 2012 08:35:33 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m10awwTaCp1qzlxv8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/84231968@N00/6987886765/" title="January 06, 2012.jpg">January 06, 2012.jpg</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/84231968@N00/">jack.schachner</a> on Flickr.</p>http://so.ca/post/19428439627http://so.ca/post/19428439627Fri, 16 Mar 2012 22:00:31 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0sf66en4s1qzlxv8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>#baby Zoe and her big #eyes #dreaming of #freedom from the #stroller #unfiltered #photooftheday / on Instagram <a href="http://instagr.am/p/IFacZTHy8y/">http://instagr.am/p/IFacZTHy8y/</a></p>http://so.ca/post/19191433532http://so.ca/post/19191433532Mon, 12 Mar 2012 15:51:41 -0400photography<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0omd7gapM1qzlxv8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A #tree #silhouette on the #california #beach off hwy 1 #sunset #nature #lux #photooftheday / on Instagram <a href="http://instagr.am/p/IAH5D1nyzF/">http://instagr.am/p/IAH5D1nyzF/</a></p>http://so.ca/post/19068650505http://so.ca/post/19068650505Sat, 10 Mar 2012 13:36:42 -0500photography<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0bysl1GoG1qzlxv8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>#driftwood on the Kincardine #beach as the #sunset crests #lake #photooftheday #bestagram #lux / on Instagram <a href="http://instagr.am/p/HuiRBLnyyV/">http://instagr.am/p/HuiRBLnyyV/</a></p>http://so.ca/post/18687614431http://so.ca/post/18687614431Sat, 03 Mar 2012 17:36:21 -0500photography<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m09x6ilg471qzlxv8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>@yotamt taking a pic of the Kincardine #sunset and #clouds #bestagram #photooftheday #lake #lux / on Instagram <a href="http://instagr.am/p/Hrr6ZGHy0N/">http://instagr.am/p/Hrr6ZGHy0N/</a></p>http://so.ca/post/18617153851http://so.ca/post/18617153851Fri, 02 Mar 2012 15:06:17 -0500photography<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m07oj367sU1qzlxv8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Playing around with #macro shots of #flowers #bestagram #photooftheday #insta_underdog #pink / on Instagram <a href="http://instagr.am/p/HogU2Nny4f/">http://instagr.am/p/HogU2Nny4f/</a></p>http://so.ca/post/18551851515http://so.ca/post/18551851515Thu, 01 Mar 2012 10:04:15 -0500photography<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m05yu2hyCQ1qzlxv8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>#candy #apples at the annual #elmira maple syrup #festival #photooftheday #bestagram #bestagram #febphotoaday / on Instagram <a href="http://instagr.am/p/HmL5KrHy1n/">http://instagr.am/p/HmL5KrHy1n/</a></p>http://so.ca/post/18498164121http://so.ca/post/18498164121Wed, 29 Feb 2012 11:51:37 -0500photography<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m02kma0hts1qzlxv8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Overlooking the #deadsea at #jordan the day after a huge #storm #israel #sea #lake #mountains #clouds #nature #febphotoaday #photooftheday #bestagram #insta_underdog / on Instagram <a href="http://instagr.am/p/HheMTFnyyO/">http://instagr.am/p/HheMTFnyyO/</a></p>http://so.ca/post/18393246251http://so.ca/post/18393246251Mon, 27 Feb 2012 15:51:46 -0500photography<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m00bctaf9K1qzlxv8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>#baby Zoe on her 11 month old #birthday #febphotoaday #beingadad #unfiltered / on Instagram <a href="http://instagr.am/p/HeVeYWHy0-/">http://instagr.am/p/HeVeYWHy0-/</a></p>http://so.ca/post/18316680732http://so.ca/post/18316680732Sun, 26 Feb 2012 10:36:28 -0500photography<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzydx1iORd1qzlxv8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>#baby Zoe #mesmerized by Becca and the #fish - nice shot @sarahrube / on Instagram <a href="http://instagr.am/p/Hbpwzcny0A/">http://instagr.am/p/Hbpwzcny0A/</a></p>http://so.ca/post/18248969590http://so.ca/post/18248969590Sat, 25 Feb 2012 09:36:36 -0500photography<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzydwxFqer1qzlxv8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Can anyone #guess what this is?
