Google search terms can predict flu outbreaks; what next?
Yet another unintended benefit of gathering and analyzing so much data. As Paul seems to imply, we ain’t seen nothing yet.

Various browsers have gradually added support for table-like display qualifiers to their CSS implementations, but it’s been a long time coming and it isn’t uniform.

Yeah, Microsoft really dropped the ball on that one.

bLaugh - The (un)Official Comic of the BlogosphereWe love to laugh - so now we're preparing the world to bLaugh! We've launched the (un)Official comic of the blogosphere - colorful, satirical, and comical. Expect parodies of "A-List" bloggers all the way down to the meme of the day - no holds barred. Brad Fitzpatrick is bLaugh's artist, and Chris Pirillo is the writer. Our strip is exclusively sponsored by a single company, GoDaddy. We have a bLaugh feed for you to suck down - and we'll rotate the daily comic image in a static URL to encourage deep-linking from anywhere (widgets, anyone?). Of course, all you ego-whores should be watching closely - because you're likely the ones to be parodied on a regular basis. If you blog, or your name (brand) is getting tossed around in the blogosphere, you're on our radar.

Strange And CoolThis is where we'll be posting everything we think is strangeworthy and cool. Who are we? My lovely wife Shirley and I, and of course YOU GUYS! Sometimes I'll be posting and sometimes Shirley will be posting. What's really cool though is that you can post your comments too! So if you find anything around the house or out in the yard or in town or at the bar or at the grocery store or on the internet (or anywhere) that's "strangeworthy" then by all means take a picture of it, write a little article about it and come back and post it here.
