If only you guys would make the Facebook insight API work, so that I can check my facebook space I created :)

Worse yet, when I was at the Sprint store awhile back the sales rep implored us to fill out a feedback form because "If you don't it counts as all 1s." Another excellent example of "When you abuse metrics, you get whatever you measure."

Nick Fedoroff is to Colorblindness like Derek Fine is to Gluten-Free.

Remember that time you couldn't tell whether the banana was ripe? Yeah, that was sad.

Hiya Nick - this is Josh from Zooppa. You're busted!

Just kidding. But I came across this post, and I wanted to apologize.

We use mailchimp for all our email communications, and I've looked into this whole process, and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to change it.

I go into mailchimp, and there is a section called "forms", which contains all the pages and emails that pertain to the signup and unsubscribe process. You have the option to change the content of the "Goodbye Email", but there isn't an option to *NOT* send it. So as long as we use mailchimp, we're stuck with this double confirmation process.

I guess that the reason for it is that you could conceivably forward an email to a friend, and they could unsubscribe you from a list that you'd like to continue to receive emails from. Which is silly - mailchimp should just figure out a way to disable the unsubscribe function for forwards or replies.

So I'm afraid that the answer is #1 from above - I was totally unaware of this process. The problem is that I can't change it All I can do is say sorry.

I'm sorry you had a negative experience with Zooppa.

Josh

They're like the Bad Boyfriend of email lists. You try to dump them and they just keep whining.

Actually the particle that makes me roll my eyes is OUR, as if older people have some sort of collective societal ownership over younger adults, who are a distinct and rightless group. I guess from a government point of view new generations of ablebodied people are a resource of sorts but one hopes they are aware of their free will.

Good one.

If you want great visual storytelling without the superhero, check out Warren Ellis' Transmetropolitan. It's visually stunning, has incredible settings, and is deeply moving, not to mention hilarious.

Hey Nick,

By next month you should be a buff stud and kick ass more than usual on the ice... You are organizing the Caps hockey team again this year, right?

When confronted with a large writing project, I'm often tempted to ask, "can we just do this by taking two photographs?"

Because let's face it, I'm lazy.

Great find — some truly amazing shots in there.

You need to seriously think about working on growing this website into a major voice in this niche. You obviously have a concrete handle of the areas everyone is browsing for on this blog anyways and you could possibly even make a buck or two from some ads. I would explore following recent headlines and increasing the amount of posts you put up and I bet you'd begin seeing some nice traffic soon. Just a brainstorm, good luck regardless!

Dude. You need to publish this at the company that sends you money twice a month. Seriously.
