      Yes we care

      Not about the content, but next time someone asks you if "we really need x resource?" you can think about what happens if this project scales 100 fold, 1000 fold etc. Ask for the upper design limit in writing. Good luck with that.

      Why would anyone retweet this tat? There is nothing even remotely interesting about this photo.

    Ignorance is bliss?

    I'm not sure whether to be proud or ashamed, but I don't recognise a single one of the people in that photo. Which probably means I don't watch enough award ceremonies.

    This article and others like it should wear the "Beiber" tag.

    Cuz really, only teenage girls and stay-at-home moms care about this.

      I do think that should be "Bieber", or do you mean "BuhBye-ber"?

    Selfies: How times change

    Selfies were easily ignored pics taken by geeks. then a couple of PR people touted celebrity selfies, uncool dinosaur news organizations, desperate for some attention and to get down with the kids, jumped on board and suddenly they're cool.

    You knew Instagram went to shit the moment you searched for, say, #ledlightbulb or #tescovalue, and nearly all the pics returned were selfies.

    Pretty sure my vocabulary is progressively retreating out the hipster influence sphericule, but I still do think that should be "gloss", not "goss".
