I'm already a fan, as well!

I, for one, recommend "Clean Code". It did not "change my life" because I was already on the path the book describes. Nonetheless it was a good validation, it certainly coalesced in a good form many topics that were simply fluctuating in my mind, and is a good reference to have around for refreshing once in a while.

To put this in context: I keep it next to "Agile Software Development" (by the same Uncle Bob), "Working Effectively with Legacy Code" (by M. Feathers), and "Refactoring" (by M. Fowler).

HTH (no, I have no direct or indirect benefit from 'advertising' these books and their authors)

a broken image link? (requires authentication)

I second DominikR: img/bg.jpg was really a turn off (and I like to think I'm smack in the middle of the apparently intended target audience)

is it me or this (and it's not the only thing in recent Google design tweaks/refreshes) is quite "[formerly-known-as] Metro" ? Flatter, less colors, more minimal... (not complaining, just wondering)

Not to be polemic, but I agree that there's something in the current typographic settings that could be improved. I tried to disable the CSS rule from corporate.css::1 on body for font-family (making the font fallback from 'Myriad pro' to the Helvetica family from foundation.css::75) and I think the result is much more readable - although it still has space for improvement in line-height and contrast).

6.3% (Worldwide). By now I was expecting some (serious, aka not ironic) preservation effort to have started..

when we see these reports/analysis it seems the answer is always the same: Capital Gain. However, I think this whole line of inquiry is mis-titled: these reports always tell us how the rich people are making now their income. Which, I feel, is not a good hint as to how you can become rich.

For the greater public, the question of "how the rich people went from 0 to $1B" might more interesting than "how the rich people maintain their $1B+". Definitely I find the latter more interesting than the former (probably because I don't have $1B+)

Cool Sparklines and more!
