Wonderful. I knew this web scripting thing would pay off — world dominance, here I come!

This looks very promising. It will be very interesting to see whether it supports Linux or not.

Seriously, I am not old enough to have had the opportunity to try many of these things.

Paid listings are better than regular search results 

Quite interesting, but not very surprising. When you click on an ad, you can be quite sure that its content will have a commercial aim, while you may not have the same certainty concerning regular search results.

That websites typed into the location bar are more likely to yield purchases should not come as a surprise as well; when you visit a website you know the address of, you know that its content will be commercial.

Yet another great piece — or, actually, question — by Ryan Tomayko. It is a bit strange, though; I have never once wondered of the origin of this.

37signals' workplace experiments 

Quite interesting suggestions. Sounds good all in all.

Great summary by jQuery author John Resig.

This is Simply Jonathan, a blog written by Jonathan Holst. It's mostly about technical topics (and mainly the Web at that), but an occasional post on clothing, sports, and general personal life topics can be found.

Jonathan Holst is a programmer, language enthusiast, sports fan, and appreciator of good design, living in Copenhagen, Denmark, Europe. He is also someone pretentious enough to call himself the 'author' of a blog. And talk about himself in the third person.
