You can also make your own with the standard Mac color picker. Open up AppleScript Editor, and type this:

Re:Facebook blames bug for Zuckerberg 'hacking'
on Thursday January 27, 2011 @11:07AM (#2148313)
I think a key takeaway from this whole story is that Zuckerberg, like Jobs with Apple, is basically Facebook in the eyes of the outside world, and so attacks on the company are going to be attacks on him personally. It's no secret that he has positioned himself as this magical founder-figure, he'll just need to take that into consideration now that Goldman is allowing the (very rich) masses to invest in his company.

Excellent. Maybe they'll be able to hire someone to get rid of all that inline Javascript.

Whatever happened to offering a good or service that people are willing to pay for? Is this really what makes a good business? Absorbing information from "all tech blogs everyday" so that you can regurgitate it on your blog, on your twitter, and at networking meetings?
This blog post reads more like a list of instructions on how to be the prettiest girl at the startup scene dance. These ideas are fine if the people writing the blogs and mingling at networking meetings are your potential customers, but I think most of us would be better served by getting away from all of that to talk to the people outside of the echo chamber. You know, the ones with wallets that MBAs like this guy only come in contact with when they're poring over a spreadsheet.

http://jqapi.com has a better search feature than api.jquery.com (handy when you're looking for functions like each() and is())

I am also reading Kafka on the Shore by Murakami.
Before that I read Norweigan Wood and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End Of The World by Murakami, as well as Godel, Escher, Bach which took forever (I read on the subway).

This may be true, and you probably choose your place of employment to reflect the fact that you are not a morning person. However, this article isn't about you personally, and it isn't about a specific time either.

The three hours wasted was actually just 20 minutes of 10 people's time. Forcing people to sit and wait for 10 minutes is totally passive aggressive.
Also, not every employee can accomplish that much in 10 minutes. A support or business person could fire off an e-mail or two, but an engineer suffers when time is broken into small chunks. Engineers are also paid pretty well, so when you're talking about 3 hours of "engineer-time" wasted, the cost to the company adds up.

> Stop drinking if you lose control of yourself while drunk, especially if you're a sad drunk. Or at least limit the number of drinks you consume.
Coming from someone who struggles with anxiety and paranoia, the first thing I was told when I went to the psychiatrist was to quit drinking. I am by no means an alcoholic, but I used to go out probably twice a week and I'd also have a beer after work to unwind.
The results were like night and day. All I had to do was not drink during the week and go out less (maybe once every two weeks). You may not be in this boat, but if you are you're doing yourself a favor to cut back.
