the truth hurts
gawker reckoning:
i just think that emulating traditional media's willingness to destroy people who aren't villains isn't a strategy for long-term success.
sometimes the truth hurts, sometimes it's sweet.

al gore wins the nobel peace prize
tedblog: al gore wins the nobel peace prize:
this morning in sweden, al gore and the intergovernmental panel on climate change (ipcc) were awarded the nobel peace prize for 2007, "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change."
at ted2006, gore delivered to a rapt audience the seminal slide show that would later that year form the core of his blockbuster documentary an inconvenient truth. he followed it up with a second talk at the end of the conference showing ways of turning climate concern into action.
throughout the day we'll be offering tributes to the impact of that speech on those present at ted2006 -- and the way the impact has spread throughout the world.

spotty dock
gio from technological supernova speaks truth to the dock whingers:
but the whole thing about the dock looking stupid while on the left or right side is... well... stupid. if you think that gravity is an argument against the leopard's dock appearance, then why don't you argue that gravity is an argument against being able to position your windows wherever you want them -- why don't your windows always fall to the bottom of the screen? furthermore, who says tiger's dock doesn't have any gravity? in that case, tiger's dock also looks stupid when positioned on the side of the screen.
the amount of blog inches (bytes?) that's been devoted to leopard's dock is silly, and i'm a little sad to pile on. but i've been using that dock, and i like it. it never made sense for 3d icons to be sitting in a 2d space, or for finder's otherwise 2 dimensional metaphor to suddenly have texture. i use the dock as little as possible, which is how i believe it was meant to be used. but leopard's dock (with stacks) is a big step forward.

best gelato in bologna
robyn's guide to gelato in bologna. that's good blog!
1608 words on gelato and not onee use of the adjective "tangy." "tangy" is the "tastes like chicken" of food blogging. food bloggers say something is tangy when they're already thinking about the next meal, or are simply out of adjectives.

welcome
thanks for visiting! you've reach the personal blog of david jacobs. i live in new york city, and i'm eating two hamburgers a week on doctor's orders. when you're done with the front page, you can read the archives.
you can also read about my company's work on the apperceptive blog, and you can keep up with me elsewhere on my reblog, my vox blog, randomwalks or flickr. this should be easier, right?
