Awesome Java Speedreader for Eastern Standard Tribe
I was checking my server logs, (as I sometimes obsessively do,) and noticed that my article about Remy and the growing impact of blogs on job-hunting had been picked up for its relevance to Eastern Standard Tribe. Of course, I surfed on over to see what all the hooplah was about, and noticed that my typo was intact in the excerpt! Ahh well, maybe people will really start referring to it as "the meatspace" now instead of just "meatspace" which is far more common. It had originally been "the real world" and I missed the "the" when going through for my final edit and adding the meatspace reference partially as a nod to C.D..
While there, I finally got to check out the Java Speedreader of EST. Holy crap if that thing doesn't kick some serious ass. This is the way I'd want to read just about every book if I could. I'm going to have to put together something like this for my daily use. I powered through his first chapter again in about 5 minutes using this thing. I've been a big fan of this concept ever since hearing about it as a speed-reading method, and had a feeling I'd be really comfortable with it as I spent several years of my adolescent life "reading" the TV by keeping closed captions on all the time. I figured it was more educational than just watching!
Anyway, we'll see how my little server handles being proxy-boingboinged. Thank god I didn't get linked from the main site, my poor box would have just fallen over!
In retrospect, I think that the mohawk as a
hairstyle in general works
much better from the side and back than it does head on. I can't think of a better way to
write this, so I'll let the image speak for itself.
