Plus, the connection ends around 9pm every night.
Maybe “glamorous” means, “makes you want to drink”.
Of course, the book is _much_ better.

I'm not much of a programmer, but it's great to know about this guy. The diversity link someone posted here [0] is inspiring.

Off topic question about Aphyr's website: the stylesheet is linked to only as `<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css" />` How and why does this work?

I've shared it with the major African American Studies listserv, H-Afro-Am (http://www.h-net.org/~afro-am/)

Re:Co-Founder of Youtube makes his first comment in 8 years on Friday November 08, 2013 @03:51PM (#6699068)
i've gotten useful info via !yt comments, as well as had meaningful interactions.

the entire push to "use my real name" vis a vis my gmail account instead of my historical youtube account name, of which this new comments action is a part, bothers me.

also, it smells of an attempt out of desperation to beef up content on g+.

The fontcombiner versions appear more appealing to me, more crisp and bold and weightier, than the G webfonts. iphone 4s, ios7.
