“…a good developer always knows why he is doing something. From the perspective of personal ethics, this requires intellectual courage and integrity.”

Copernican principle

Copernican principle:

The mediocrity principle is worth reading also.

bestofwikipedia:

In physical cosmology, the Copernican principle, named after Nicolaus Copernicus, states that the Earth is not in a central, specially favored position. More recently, the principle has been generalized to the relativistic concept that humans are not privileged observers of the universe. In this sense, it is equivalent to the mediocrity principle, with important implications for the philosophy of science. (via Remy)

Day 23- Something you crave for a lot

Del’s Lemonade

This is the greatest lemonade you’ll ever have. If you don’t live in Rhode Island, then you probably have no idea what this is. This is a little piece of frozen heaven in a cup. Rhody is the only place to have Del’s & it’s a little piece of summertime in Rhode Island. It’s not the awful frozen crap that you can get anywhere. It’s perfection. I crave it all year long even though most stands are only open in the summer.

fuckyeahrhodeisland:

When RISD President John Maeda, Liisa Silander and the Media + Partners department decided to reinvent their alumni magazine, they decided to do it from the ground up. Renaming it RISD XYZ and shifting from a more traditional focus on the school to instead celebrate the accomplishments of its graduates, they knew they had to do something about the design too. While previous versions typically tasked three alumni with a section each, the resulting layout felt disjointed and made it tough to read.

Handpicking a few alums to pitch, they chose RISD alum Criswell Lappin to realize the new vision of the concept. Lappin—who in addition to running his own design consultancy Wellnow, has art directed the award-winning magazine Metropolis for the past decade—recently answered a few of our questions on how he and his crack team of fellow alums pulled off the fresh new design in just 10 weeks. Read on to learn more about some of his favorite designers, the project’s reality TV potential, and the beers it took to unwind when he was done.

Our entire state has 1 (one) area code. (Those first 3 digits in front of a phone number based on where you live.)

We are The Ocean State, because our beaches are fucking beautiful.

This is a rendering of Clingstone. It was built in 1905 on a rock in Narragansett Bay for a total of $36,000. Abandoned for two decades, it was sold in 1961 to Henry Wood who, with his family, restored and maintains it to this day.

Julia Seizer:

It’s correct that we don’t directly elect our PM in Australia. But the dumping by a party of a first term PM is unprecedented; particularly in this manner. If that party wants to try and rationalize it or ignore public concerns about it, then I hope that will be to their peril. Frankly, I find it deeply disturbing. Note: I care little about the actual parties or politicians involved. It’s the process.

FIGHTING WITH TEENAGERS: A COPYRIGHT STORY

FIGHTING WITH TEENAGERS: A COPYRIGHT STORY :

As an experiment, composer Jason Robert Brown logged onto a site illegally offering his sheet music for download and contacted hundreds of users, politely asking them to stop listing the material. Most complied, some were confused, and a few fought back. Brown chronicles a lengthy exchange he had with a teenage girl named Brenna, which provides an interesting insight into their perspectives of the copyright debate. He also responds to several points raised in comments to the article and says, ‘I don’t wish to be the enemy; I’m just a guy trying to make a living.” (via slashdot)
