The blue calculus attempts at providing a better programming notation for higher-order concurrency. Compared with the polyadic pi-calculus, it is an asynchronous calculus, where replication is restricted to input prefix, and without sum.

New York, “The development of a world metropolis in a nutshell: from 25.000 inhabitants to 9.5 million within a century and a half.” Cool infographics.
Oh the foes will rise
With the sleep still in their eyes

— Bob Dylan, When The Ship Comes In
Squeak on the iPhone!, neat.
Obfuscated TCP is a backwards-compatible modification to the TCP protocol which adds opportunistic encryption. It’s designed to hamper and detect large-scale wiretapping and corruption of TCP traffic on the Internet. Very clever.
More mathematical confections, a Poincaré disk pie!
HTML 5 differences from HTML 4, updated list. Still, can’t wait for wide adoption.
I Love My Life The Way It Is, by Ali Alvarez. “I didn’t need the lottery messing with my life – I’m alright with it the way it is. So as an experiment, I started buying scratch cards and not scratching them.” WJW.
