More of the Best, Programming and Otherwise
Programming:

• I've been seeing quite a lot of discussions of web design style lately. Compare the emerging style of early web design with the polished Web2.0 Style. Even newer styles, such as Grunge and Hand-Drawn use the techniques of modern web design while breaking from the Web 2.0 aesthetic.
• Rich Programmer Food: On compilers and the most important class for computer scientists.
• An article on "Turing Tar Pits" and how programmers make things hard for themselves.
• How to teach yourself programming in ten years.
• 10 Python Quirks: Read this if you're a Python programmer. Did you know all of those? (I didn't.)
• An anecdote about teaching children programming.
• Big Red Angry Text: On CSS styles for debugging

• Post-It Note Art: Completely amazing!
• On why "don't talk to strangers" is "just about the worst possible advice you can give a child".
• An article on the Naked Rambler, who in January was free for several steps before being arrested again for his persistent nudity. *facepalm* How should society deal with such people? And should (yes, I mean that in the moral sense) the Naked Rambler just wrap / shut up and conform?
• An anecdote on parenting, food, and vegetarianism.
• The website for Urville, a fictional city created by a savant who now makes a living by imagining / drawing / writing about / talking about said fictional city. Also a particularly good example of (what I'd refer to as) 90's Crazy web design style.
• A recipe for Pan Seared Salmon with Avocado Remoulade
• A video on turning a sphere inside-out. Nifty. Watch if you're interested in topology / are wondering what the heck "topology" means.
• On creating a warning marker to last for 10,000 years.
• Why Starbucks actually helps local coffee shops.
