Best Beach

No, this really is what it sounds like.

Want to know where the best beach is? Well, try The Best Beaches in the USA website. They've got 'em all, big and small! They rate more beaches than I knew existed. They have categories for everything from the best beach for walking on to the best beach nightlife. You name it, if it's a beach rating criteria, they probably have it here. In any case, I doubt I'm going to go to any beach any time soon, so this website might be the closest I get.

Major TCP Vulnerability

Of course, I'm sure everyone's talking about this already, but...

Well, it's a pretty big deal! So, yesterday morning I read an article on Australian IT about a really big problem with TCP. Now, if you don't know what TCP is, don't worry. It won't effect your job at all. Of course, I'm not sure why you're reading this blog, but, whatever. Now, for those of you who understand what this means: Stop Panicking!

I'm no Rageboy

Though, my wife tells me I could be.

No, really, she once encouraged me to fully explore my Rageboy-ness. Never heard of Rageboy? Oh, I think you have. You probably know him as Christopher Locke, the author of Gonzo Marketing: Winning Through Worst Practices and The Cluetrain Manifesto: The End of Business as Usual. But, I'm really trying to not give into the "dark" side and rip into people anymore. Hey! Stop laughing!!

Bad Design

A scrapbook of bad design.

Okay, so you think your company's homegrown application is crippled by bad design? Well, check out Bad Human Factors Designs! Here's a collection of the worst design ever misconcieved. You can't believe what developers think looks like a good idea.
And, if you are one of those developers, think twice before you inflict that cruel and unusual interface on your users!

Hey, just because it's Friday, doesn't mean you can't learn something!
