Not being under any such constraints, I'll ask if this whole thing looks all wet to anyone else. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

The universe suddenly looks a lot more crowded, thanks to a deep-sky census assembled from surveys taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories. "My god, it's full of stars."

I feel nervous in crowds.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Holy moly. Usually estimates were that there are between 100-400 billion stars in our galaxy and roughly the same amount of galaxies. And now there might be even more? What's next? Dark energy are just galaxies facing away?
Its getting cramped.

Obviously toothpaste is. The security personnel of Hong Kong confiscated a medium sized tube of Colgate from my laptop bag last Sunday. And I was only passing through Hong Kong.

I frequently hear such apparently-innocuous-but-actually-complex questions about code quality. “This idiot on my team is writing mountains of the most unmaintainable garbage imaginable — what should I do?” Sauce 'em

Twitter will not host its annual Flight developer conference this year amid speculation and uncertainty about the company's future. Its bruised relationship with developers may be a sign of what's to come.
Is Twitter's dead developer conference another nail in its coffin? | CIO[^]
I like twitter, but it's all about who you follow. I follow technologists and devs.

Twitter is what it is. Where else is there for it to go?
Add the ribbon, maybe? The baby-blocks interface?
It's a small idea, and it should stay small, because people won't like it as much if it tries to be what it's not.
