Back in the day where Feedburner wasn’t around and RSS wasn’t so popular, there were a few sites (comparing to the number of sites that exist today) that really stood out of the crowd.  The following list should be really longer but most of the sites that i wanted to include aren’t available, have changed owners and maybe topic.

“The adoption of a relational model of data, as described above, permits the development of a universal data sub-language.”– E.F. Codd, 1969

We're all about creative cable management here at Lifehacker, so we were instantly drawn to reader Seandavid010's rain-gutter cable management setup. Granted, you can find other cord-wrangling solutions, like the one I used when I made my cordless workspace, but the rain gutter approach yields impressive results.

You can blame it on Chris Anderson's book Free. After reading his book, I started kicking around the idea of what we can do that's 'free'. Sure, we have free bits (open-source hardware designs, available code, etc.), but we don't have free physical widgets. Now combine that with our love of creating shear havoc (AVC, C&D letter, Portable ...

It’s called ProFORMA, or Probabilistic Feature-based On-line Rapid Model Acquisition, but it is way cooler than it sounds.

“Gestresste oder um eine Antwort verlegene Politiker neigen zu Schönsprech. Zu Euphemismen oder Formulierungen, die vage und unkonkret sind und so an den harten Wahrheiten vorbeigehen, dass man sie oft nicht ernst nehmen kann.” – M. Illner, 2007

Over the past few years a growing number of white people have joined the longstanding indigenous people’s critique of the holocaust denial that is at the heart of the Thanksgiving holiday.

EVEN technology pundits can sometimes be right.

If you follow me on Twitter, then you’re already aware of my obsession with Foursquare, a New York-based service that taps into the narcissistic appeal of being able to post unusual locations such as our office cafeteria, Chatz Cafe, or best recommendations about a place and marries it to social networking.

I do all of my work on a MacBook Pro. It is a maxed out 17″ of the Santa Rosa variety – this one with the 2.4 Ghz CPU, 4GB RAM, and the higher res display. It was top of the line when purchased and still has pretty solid specs.

Cassandra is a hybrid non-relational database in the same class as Google's BigTable. It is more featureful than a key/value store like Dynomite, but supports fewer query types than a document store like MongoDB.

At one time the idea of watching movies on a Mac seemed both quaint and inconvenient. After all, you already had a TV and its accouterments in the rumpus room. Why gather friends and family around the desk in the corner of the living room to watch movies on a 17-inch iMac?

The CRU scandal has already ensnared Britain's leading climate "scientist" Phil Jones (whom one principled leftie says has only "a few days left in which to make an honourable exit") and his American counterpart Michael Mann (as in "Mann-made global warming").

A common form is an attack on sincerity. For example, "How can you argue for vegetarianism when you wear leather shoes?" The two wrongs make a right fallacy is related.

HBase is an open-source implementation of the Google BigTable architecture. That part is fairly easy to understand and grasp. What I personally feel is a bit more difficult is to understand how much HBase covers and where there are differences (still) compared to the BigTable specification.

With Obama heading to Copenhagen, where he's expected to pledge some pretty big cuts in US carbon emissions, the ClimateGate story is an economic story as well as a political one.

It looks like pretty soon all computing will be called cloud computing, just because the cloud is “in.” Fortunately most computer savvy folks actually have a pretty good idea of what the term ‘cloud computing’ means: outsourced, pay-as-you-go, on-demand, somewhere in the internet, etc. What is still confusing to many is ...

The most used model in Wicket is the PropertyModel and its derivatives. This model allows the user to quickly and easily navigate object graphs using string-based property-path expressions, and is used extensively when displaying data or creating forms.

It was an impressive demonstration, once they got it working: H.264 video streaming wirelessly (and slowly, at least during the caching sequence) using Microsoft's Silverlight video streaming, to an Apple iPhone.

This is the third instalment in a series that I’m writing about turning data into linked data. I’m using traffic count data as the example, since that’s a dataset that I’m currently working on.
