Targeted ads is abusive by design. A website, app, or service can advertise just fine by knowing themselves and their customer base. Otherwise, ads can be “targeted” to the content of the page.

How I made almost $40,000 selling my card collection on Ebay

I'd been thinking about this pun for a while – mixing the giant Ohmu from Nausicaä with Omu-rice (egg and rice omelets from Japan). I set to work designing it and think it turned out really well!
Check it out on Teepublic.com! The default link goes to the tan color, but I like the soft-green best.

Today, I had the misfortune of copying files from another computer on my network only to discover that they, and all folders below them, had been tainted with the Windows "group by" feature for some reason. I tried changing the view recursively, but that only changes between thumbnail or list view and doesn't affect Group .... [Click here to read the rest of this post]
