“Tax-hiking Democ­rats are sup­posed to be ter­ri­ble for busi­ness; I mean, Nor­man Pod­horetz whines that Jews should be con­ser­v­a­tives because Repub­li­can poli­cies are bet­ter for the econ­omy. But the data just refuse to say that — and that’s even if we restrict our­selves to the stock mar­ket, never mind job cre­ation, wages, poverty and all that.”

“The Catholic Arch­dio­cese of Wash­ing­ton said Wednes­day that it will be unable to con­tinue the social ser­vice pro­grams it runs for the Dis­trict if the city doesn’t change a pro­posed same-sex mar­riage law, a threat that could affect tens of thou­sands of peo­ple the church helps with adop­tion, home­less­ness and health care.” Because fight­ing against gay rights is more impor­tant than home­less­ness and poverty.

Which is bet­ter the iPhone or Droid.

“High qual­ity free Word­Press Themes have become harder and harder to find in the past year, with the influx of pre­mium themes, more and more design­ers and devel­op­ers are sell­ing themes (and rightly so, they do amaz­ing work). How­ever, the qual­ity of freely avail­able themes has improved as well; in fact, some themes are very advanced and pro­fes­sional and can serve as a solid foun­da­tion for your next designs.”

“I used to work in Pre-Press for a long time. Longer even now than I’ve been work­ing on the web. I was in and out of InDe­sign doc­u­ments all day every day. I’m not an uber-pro, but I know my way around pretty well. Recently I’ve been fin­ish­ing up lay­ing out my new book Dig­ging Into Word­Press (which you can buy now!) and dur­ing that time I was think­ing about some of the ways work­ing in InDe­sign is sim­i­lar to CSS, and some of the ways it’s not. Let’s have a look.”

“An oppo­nent of same-sex mar­riage, Gov­er­nor Carcieri has vetoed bill that would have added “domes­tic part­ners” to the list of peo­ple autho­rized by law to make funeral arrange­ments for each other.”

“His defense lawyer, Robert Reu­land, told a Brook­lyn assis­tant dis­trict attor­ney, Lind­say Gerdes, about the Face­book entry, which was made at the time of the rob­bery. The dis­trict attor­ney sub­poe­naed Face­book to ver­ify that the words had been typed from a com­puter at an apart­ment at 71 West 118^th Street in Man­hat­tan, the home of Mr. Bradford’s father. When that was con­firmed, the charges were dropped.”

“It’s inter­est­ing how many of Google’s expanded list­ings have become even more use­ful than the home page behind the link. And it’s not just this exam­ple site — I’ve found the expanded Google list­ings more use­ful than just about any home page I’ve vis­ited lately. What does that say about the state of web design?”

“Act­ing on anony­mous tips from within the Hispanic-American com­mu­nity, U.S. Cus­toms and Bor­der Pro­tec­tion offi­cials on Wednes­day deported Luis Miguel Sal­vador Aguila Dominguez, who for the last 48 years had been liv­ing ille­gally in the United States under the name Lou Dobbs.”

“Today we’d like to share with the web com­mu­nity infor­ma­tion about SPDY, pro­nounced “SPeeDY”, an early-stage research project that is part of our effort to make the web faster. SPDY is at its core an application-layer pro­to­col for trans­port­ing con­tent over the web. It is designed specif­i­cally for min­i­miz­ing latency through fea­tures such as mul­ti­plexed streams, request pri­or­i­ti­za­tion and HTTP header compression.”
