State Rep. Bob Nicholas, R-Cheyenne, faces a felony charge of abusing a disabled adult in Florida following a Nov. 23 arrest.
Nicholas, 54, was arrested in Boca Grande, Fla., while on vacation after allegedly punching and kicking his 19-year-old mentally disabled son, according to a Lee County Sheriff’s Office report.
I don’t follow football. I do appreciate thoughtful, alternative, problem solving skills though.
Did the Packers untying Ndamukong Suh’s shoes set him off?
“This guy is going to get killed. I got to take his mind off it, give him something else to do.” So he says, “Ok, every time you’re in a pile, I want you to focus on something. I want you to untie his shoes.”

What if the Indian Point nuclear-power plant, 25 miles north of NYC, was to suffer a meltdown?
After the Fukushima meltdown, the NRC told Americans living there to clear out of a 50-mile zone. Subsequently, the Japanese government declared huge swathes of land uninhabitable for decades. The local 50-mile equivalent is a circle defined by Kingston to the north; Bridgeport, Connecticut, to the east; the Delaware Water Gap to the west; and the southern tip of Staten Island to the south. It includes all of the 8.2 million people living in New York City.

The Delicious Chrome Extension currently has 33,414 users and is rated 4/5 stars. However, until yesterday’s release, you had to manually close the popup window after you saved a new bookmark. It wasn’t unusable, but it was terribly annoying at best.
Well, suffer no more! v1.5 of the Delicious Chrome Extension automatically closes the popup after you’ve saved your bookmark; and it’s available right now!
Another well-received feature is it’s customizable keyboard shortcut. Some people like commnd-D, others like control-D or maybe you like something entirely random to save your bookmarks; It’s totally up to you.
Screenshots of v1.5 of the Delicious Chrome Extension:
The ‘Save to Delicious’ popup adds selected text to the notes field.
Customizable keyboard shortcut key.
Quick links to invoke the Save to Delicious popup, your Delicious bookmarks and your Delicious Inbox.
The extension source now lives on GitHub. Please, fork it, make it better, and send me a pull request. I’m certain there are several ways this extension can be made better. Or contribute by reporting any issues or feature requests.

The future of CSS layouts provides a great synopsis of the CSS3 layout modules we’ll most likely be using soon, if we’re not already. They point out that Wikipedia is already flowing their reference list across horizontal space via the CSS3 column-width property. Who woulda thought?
Full list of CSS2.1 properties, including their inheritance. My spine is tingling.

Natural user interface is a red herring, what we really need is a Dyson sphere
I would argue that instead of attempting to make our computer interaction look more like “real life” or be more “physical,” the UX designer should attempt to make humans more efficient by capturing and utilizing a larger portion of the user’s existing output (through new and existing sensors in our devices), instead of just capturing a different, contrived sort of output.
