¡Si esto no le encanta a cierta escritora que conozco, entonces no la conozco de nada!
dailymeh:
Etherpad is an online text editor that saves every keystroke — so far, so good. But it also allows you to play them back, giving you a birds-eye view of how a document came to be. This is how Paul Graham wrote Startups in 13 Sentences. Watching someone else write is interesting enough, but I can...

Pissy Fans →
dailymeh:
Some fans do have a tendency to forget that the creative folks they love are not simply black boxes, who produce desired product at regular intervals. They’re actually real people who do other things than just what the fans want them to do, because humans from time to time want to do the things they want to do, not the things other people want them to do. Yes, some fans don’t like that,...

Includes several Q&A rounds between the ghetto guys and the (mostly) mid-class white readers of Venkathesh’s blog.

Zombie Haiku →
You are so lucky that I cannot remember how to use doorknobs. Biting into heads is much harder than it looks. the skull is feisty. Getting trampled on used to eventually kill you. Now it just annoys.
