This week, I recommend the blog posts in engineering. Some nice toys to play with. EngineeringBuilding Bauble - language to create shaded graphics and animations. You can modify the code in the blog post to play with it. ...

Today is a catch-up post, with quite a few links. I recommend the podcast about the Reiser story today and the video about the first BMX park in Nigeria. EngineeringThe Legacy of Unix - Unix: A History and a Memoir by Brian Kernighan [Podcast] - The problem with Bookoverflow is the effect on my to-read list. ...

Two podcast recommendations today: the one about culture fit and the one about Escobar's hippos. LeadershipThe wrong way to think about culture fit [Podcast] - It is very hard to get this wrong. Similar as values. It is just to easy to abuse. ...
