Friday Fun: Porn for the Blind by Tim Marman

Porn for the Blind is a "not-for-profit organization dedicated to producing audio descriptions of sample movie clips from adult web sites". If you want to contribute, you can record a website description . Syndicated from Loosely Coupled //...

Students copy honor code by Tim Marman

I find this story particularly amusing because Hamilton was so big on the honor code (and then our former president stepped down because he failed to cite parts of his speeches). Their goal was an honor code that discouraged cheating and plagiarizing...

Robot wars be damned, I want one of these things . Syndicated from Loosely Coupled // Tim Marman's Weblog | Slashstar ( rss )

The LOLCAT is mildly amusing, but what I find really amazing is that someone actually took the time to write an implementation LOLCODE for the DLR . Imagine that, instead of writing boring old C# code, you wrote something like this: HAI CAN HAS STDIO...

What exactly is an iPhone application? by Tim Marman

Scoble mentions 3 new iPhone apps today from Newsgator, Bloglines, and Google. It's interesting that companies keep saying they are doing "iPhone development", when really these are nothing more than sites skinned to look more natural on the iPhone. The...
