Absurd Directory Structures November 6th, 2009 @ 1:28 pm PST
As soon as I saw the story about giant jellyfish sinking a Japanese trawler posted on MetaFilter, I sent the link to my friend Ryan via instant messenger.

For years now I’ve subscribed to Mark Hurst‘s Good Experience newsletter.

FTP Search June 13th, 2000 @ 6:45 am PDT
The FTP Search is now holding at v4.0 and I thought I’d share it with anyone who doesn’t use it. I’ve been utilizing this place since at least ’95 and it has never failed me. It has gone through many incarnations, it was originally in some Nordic country if memory serves, and it has always […]
