I’m the first to admit I really didn’t think another online whiteboard would be the least bit interesting, especially one made by GE. I stand corrected.

As seen on Lifehacker.

I’m a huge fan of wikipedia. It really takes some time getting used to reading an encyclopedia like format that’s truly live. We’re conditioned to date shift information like this based on the published date, or at least I am. I was curious about some technical bits related to the World Cup and in looking at the page today noticed this:

“The current Cup holder, Italy, follows with four titles, while Germany holds three.”

I thought, wait a minute Italy didn’t win the last World Cup before remembering that this was live information and it was referring to the World Cup awarded yesterday. In looking at this page’s history, it’s been updated over 50 times since the final yesterday. That’s cool.

Of course, I am slightly concerned about all these elves spending their lives updating wikipedia. I hesitate to suggest they get a life because I’m hooked on this live info. Um, keep up the good work.

Ok, so this may not be the ideal place to post about sports topics so I’ll just say I’m with Andrew on this. I’m doing my best to watch some world cup games, I swear.

According to secretGeek, and my quick test, goto statements are supported in C#. Wow, scary indeed.

I’m not a user interface designer, maybe I should be as I always seem to have strong opinions about it. I always push the idea of allowing users to grow within an interface. New users have a way to learn the interface within interface itself. As they grow, and work towards becoming power users, the interface gets out of their way and let’s them be power users.

Seth had a recent post related to training wheels that applies nicely. More software interfaces need training wheels that you can remove when you’re ready to go.

For really really bored geeks, test your typing speed.
