How to make community members stick at djst’s nest
an interesting conclusion about how to turn new and casual contributors into long-time community members: the key is to distribute ownership.
To wrap up, there were several things that motivated me to stay active in the Mozilla community: * A belief in the mission of the project — to create a web browser that supports and promotes the use of open standards * An interest in the technology — initially with the Gecko logo as my hook * The feeling of belonging in a community of people with similar interests * The desire to give something back to a project that gave (and still gives) me the best browser in the world for free * The experiences gained by managing a website — HTML, CSS, server configurations, and perhaps most importantly, the English language * The recognition and respect from Mozilla project members for my contributions * The pride of being responsible for an important piece of the project

The beauty of a second language, and how this matters to UI design « Wei Zhou’s Blog
At the third stage, I experience ecstatic when I speak English. There’s a reason I use the word”ecstatic”, notice that’s not because I finally can express myself freely, but because when I speak English, there’s NO FEELING attached to me. I understand exactly every word’s meaning and I used them appropriately all the time, but I don’t have any previous experience associated to each word, when I speak “Screwed up”, I cannot picture this symbol and contextualize it into my environment. Consider language is an important channel for human beings to interact with their outer world, it functions as an interface.

RDFa and Web Directions North 2009 from Manu Sporny on 2009-02-09 (public-rdfa@w3.org from February 2009)
There was a great deal of buzz
around HTML5 and nobody that I spoke to mentioned that they were in the
least bit excited about XHTML2, even when asked directly. HTML5 was
mentioned in presentations and conversations throughout the week. The
general feeling was that HTML5 was far more exciting than XHTML2.

I've switched from Tumblr to FriendFeed.
“I've switched from Tumblr to FriendFeed. The bookmarklet seems to be good enough by now, so why not. I've also told Feedburner to poll a cleaned-up version of my FF feed (remove some unwanted services and sanitize the display of the items) and redirected my Tumblr page to here.”
I have the feeling that we get bored about a service more quickly than before...

There's no shame in looking good - (37signals)
I think you’ve fundamentally misunderstood why people buy beautiful products, if you think it’s all about projection. While there’s certainly something to that (and I see absolutely no shame in that either!), it’s at the core about people feeling good about that which is pretty. That doesn’t make us shallow, that just makes us human.

mnot’s Web log: Watching WADL (and other rambling thoughts)
lots of developers using WADL to design and document their resources to good effect, so my gut feeling is “yes.” However, that value could be cancelled out if some client-side static binding tools come around the corner.
