“The telephone was an aberration in human development. It was a 70 year or so period where for some reason humans decided it was socially acceptable to ring a loud bell in someone else’s life and they were expected to come running, like dogs. This was the equivalent of thinking it was okay to walk into someone’s living room and start shouting. It was never okay.” — Rick Webb about this (via toldorknown) (via marco)

Worth to remember (TNX “the evolving ultrasaurus”)
According to the New Look approach, first propounded in the 1940s by the influential cognitive psychologist Jerome Bruner, perception is largely a constructive process influenced by our needs and values.

Alex Payne, in Don’t Be A Hero:
If someone is working at four in the morning, something is deeply wrong. Figure out what’s broken and delegate the work out evenly across your team such that it doesn’t happen again. Don’t pat your hero on the back for “pulling another late-nighter”.
This is one reason why, when looking for a job a few years ago, I didn’t consider working for any company whose job description implied (or stated) that I’d be expected to work extremely long hours regularly and not have a family life. Such companies are either run by “heroes” or expect to hire one. (Usually for the same salary as a nine-to-fiver and with a trivial equity stake.)
I resent the commonly held belief that this is an unavoidable part of “startup culture”. (It’s completely avoidable.) Such beliefs encourage workaholism, especially among young people, and cause poor-quality products, employee burnout, and high turnover.
I don’t want to be a part of any company that’s so poorly managed, or simply so cheap, that employees are expected to forego a healthy lifestyle. No job is worth that.
Con el uso diario se va depositando en el interior de la bombilla un sedimento oscuro que no se va con el lavado con agua fría o caliente. Cuando esa capa toma cuerpo transmite un sabor desagradable al mate. Para eliminarla se usa un cepillito de cerda que permite limpiar el cuello y el pico de la bombilla. Luego se enjuaga con abundante agua para eliminar la suciedad removida por el cepillo. Otro procedimiento para limpiar la bombilla consiste en dejarla sumergida en una solución de bicarbonato de sodio durante una hora. Luego se enjuaga con agua. Una tercera forma de limpiarla es calentarla sobre una llama para carbonizar el sedimento. Se golpea suavemente sobre una madera, con el pico para abajo, para que el sedimento carbonizado se desprenda.

I’d like to know the datails and usage of ruby frameworks… So, I’ve wrote an introductory article on Sinatra for RailsMagazine.
A free PDF version of issue #5 is available here.
Even I’m not a web designer… nested rules are the thing I most appreciate in that framework. Nice done!
