I also didn't notice the Sign In button initially. The signature count reminded me of this: http://www.google.com/searc...

Looks good. I see a horizontal scrollbar on the bottom, and a second vertical scrollbar within the iframe.

Re: Random Stuff, So what else can the NY Times learn from Zynga?

Good ideas! They should also create more social media products centered around the topics they cover -- such as a StackOverflow of NY Real Estate or StackOverflow of Travel (http://stackexchange.com). There's more to do with the types of information covered in the NY Times than just reading.

Re: I am what I am

I haven't seen the movie so can only comment on the quote. Living up to "I am what I am" is difficult because we have parents, schools, peers and whole industries such as advertising telling us we ought to be what we are not. I'm not surprised it was an older woman who used the quote because I suspect it often takes years and years for people to learn to be who they are.

Credit card companies and banks would probably oppose it. More educated people mean less profits for them.

Managing your money is an essential life skill - how come it's not taught to everyone in school from an early age? People seem to first pay attention to this stuff in their mid 20s, once they've already accumulated loads of college and credit card debt.

Re: The importance of institutional redundancy

In a similar vein, if you see some opportunity why not start redundant companies to pursue it? That way, you have a stake in both yourself and the competition.

Re: The life and death of a TaskPaper feature

That's too bad, I was looking forward to that feature. Any app that offers a search should let you save a search, just as the web does (via bookmarking). Why not just hide the saved searches dropdown if there were none of them in the document? Or add a dropdown button next to the search text entry field?

Re: Facebook Acquires Friendfeed and Jumps the Shark: Why real time is a Red Herring

Totally agree - Twitter itself, and my Facebook feed, are quicly becoming a big dumping ground of randomg garbage of all different kinds. I'd rather look at a site focused on a specific topic (e.g. our Twitter sites such as muckrack.com) or a specific group of people (foursquare, hacker news) if I want to know what's going on now, or what's worth reading, in some area of interest.

Nice video. Too bad about the non-flying kites. Looks like you had a good time anyway.
