This “hairball” post about Cuil isn’t really snarky, so I’ll post it. Cuil is no longer around, but it did spawn a funny post on Reddit about Cuil Theory. Cuil launched this week. For a search engineer, a new search engine is like a Christmas present: you can’t wait to play with it. Most search [...]

Well, guess what? Now the internet is awake. And I don’t think it’s going back to sleep any time soon. We might [...]

I’ll mention the main organizations on my giving list this year: charity: water brings clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations. [...]
