    Ken Fisher of Ars Technica on How Ad Blockers Hurt Revenue

    From Gruber: “I have no easy answer, but I will point out that there’s no inherent reason why ads have to be something people are tempted to block. It’s not enough to ask readers not to block ads — you’ve got to work hard at providing ads that readers actually enjoy, or at least aren’t tempted to block.”

    If publishers realized that and stopped the “Punch the Monkey/Bin Laden/political figure” then maybe they’d see revenue go up.

    Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me? Speak well.

    Crash Davis. Just because I hate how the rest of the great lines in that movie always take a back seat to that stupid speech. (via weselec)

    Agreed. Of course, I’m also a big fan of “Strikeouts are boring. What’s more, they’re fascist.”

    mrgan: The Panic Status Board - one of the things I’ve been working on lately. Read Cabel’s writeup! This is fantastic. I see things like this and realize how much I want to be able to do them.

    I have no idea what’s going on.

    I spend at least half my Internet time thinking exactly this. And much of my work time, too, come to think of it.

    Twitter arguments have more in common with elementary-school ones than most people would care to admit. Also, TOTALLY my fault for responding to the guy.

    Seeing Adam’s post about his birthday present made me remember that I bought Emily a similar birthday present. An early 1980s Apple IIe. Allegedly working, though we have no software to test it with. It sat on the floor for months, but in my cleaning push, I thought we should display it better.
