That moment when you fix some jQuery AJAX script that has been throwing errors simply because it was impatient and you subsequently feel like a freakin’ wizard. Matt, Rob, Anthony

melleigh: This machine allows anyone to work for minimum wage for as long as they like. Turning the crank on the side releases one penny every 4.97 seconds, for a total of $7.25 per hour. This corresponds to minimum wage for a person in New York. This piece is brilliant on multiple levels, particularly as social commentary. Without a doubt, most people who started operating the machine for fun would quickly grow disheartened and stop when realizing just how little they’re earning by turning this mindless crank. A person would then conceivably realize that this is what nearly two million people in the United States do every day…at much harder jobs than turning a crank. This turns the piece into a simple, yet effective argument for raising the minimum wage. god damn Holy. Mackerel.

So, I was just reading though a JavaScript ebook and it stated that with early programming (assembly), “manually entering these arcane patterns of bits did give the programmer a profound sense of being a mighty wizard.” JP, Rob, Anthony, Matt

Holy crap. This is an amazing cover of ‘Get Lucky’ - Daft Punk.
