Supporting all browsers is the whole fucking point of being a good web developer, and I’m going to force you to do it even if I have to personally swear at each of you individually.

Jorge Cham’s webcomic sums up modern news polls pretty well.

[W]omen in general … aren’t just bad at behaving like arrogant self-aggrandizing jerks. They are bad at behaving like self-promoting narcissists, anti-social obsessives, or pompous blowhards, even a little bit, even temporarily, even when it would be in their best interests to do so. Whatever bad things you can say about those behaviors, you can’t say they are underrepresented among people who have changed the world.

From Clay Shirky’s rant about women, via Rupa’s Facebook feed. Posted only because I find it funny and insightful, and I’m curious what my female friends think about it. I know I’ve tried on a few of those behaviors myself.

I tell people that if it’s in the news, don’t worry about it. The very definition of “news” is “something that hardly ever happens.” It’s when something isn’t in the news, when it’s so common that it’s no longer news — car crashes, domestic violence — that you should start worrying.

I’ve been staying at my folks house over the holidays, and I’ve yet to discover any rhyme or reason to the light switches. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve inadvertently turned on the fan, rather than the light, in the bathroom.

Funny. I was just ribbing my parents about this. Their home has two rooms with no light switch within reach near the door.

You said “Til death do us part.” You’re not dead yet.

Slogan for the 2010 California Marriage Protection Act, a tongue-in-cheek movement that follows in the wake of California’s 2008 ban of gay marriage.

NPR has a great summary.
