One of the reasons I like Svpply so much is I have found it to be helpful in buying fewer, but better, things. One way I use Svpply is to find high-quality merchandise from small businesses that manufacture goods in the US. When I actually buy something I find there, the digital shopping that takes place on Svpply is still helping to contribute to real-world consumerism, but perhaps a less-bad variety.Chris Tackett, The Atlantic. This was exactly my goal for Svpply: to assist in what I hope becomes a broad cultural shift where people acquire fewer, nicer things. (via whiskyvangoghgo)

Strong Opinions @marksbirch: To Learn To Code or Not, That Is the Question
There is a lot of conversation about learning to code these days. It is certainly a positive trend and there are more resources available to learn how to program than at any time in the past. There are thousands of books, web tutorials, and schools like Codecademy and CodeLesson. Initiatives…
What Mark said. Nonetheless, give it a try. You may be surprised what you can learn to do for yourself without having to interrupt your technical resources.
At very least, understand the basics of HTML. You’ll need that to blog with proficiency.
On the beyond surface stuff, I’ve had good luck with tryruby.org and codeschool.com.

The sharp eye of Marina Galperina at Animal brings you Eric Fischer’s Twitter traffic map of New York. Galperina writes, “This is New York, with New Yorkers’ trips routed and their geotag density mapped out in “10000 points, 30000 vectors.” What do we learn? Broadway is ‘the spine.’ Well, that does make sense.”

The grass roots they can generate is, frankly, concerning.
Cary Sherman, RIAA. Please pause for just a moment, and reflect. Have you ever said something massively, callously, inappropriately stupid? If not, I would suggest that perhaps you are lacking in self-awareness. Think harder.
If so, did you immediately realize how stupid you were at that moment, or did it take a while before you processed that?
Cary Sherman either does or does not realize that he has a fundamental misunderstanding of Western Civilization.
