WaMu moolah: CEO Alan Fishman may make $19 million... →
Here’s the kicker: Fishman didn’t even broker the deal to find a buyer when WaMu failed and was seized by the government; the federal government reportedly arranged the purchase by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and closed the deal while Fishman was in midair, flying from New York to Seattle.

The first offense will cost violators $76. Compare that to the $20 for first time violators of the cell phone use while driving law.
I swear, California has stupid laws. How does this actually create safer drivers? We need to ban eating food while we drive too if doing anything other than driving is harmful. I guess some people just aren’t talented like me: I used to drive, smoke and talk on...

Design View / Andy Rutledge - Contrast and Meaning →
Contrast is important because the meaningful essence of any thing is defined by its value, properties, or quality relative to something else. That’s right: nothing has much meaning by itself, which is one reason why design is important.

I just wanted an extremely simple way to keep up with the news with little effort. I don’t wanna know EVERYTHING that happens. Just enough to sorta keep up on a daily basis.
At most 10 stories are posted, once a day. The stories are algorithmically-driven by a bot I wrote.
The design is extremely minimal. I took the concept of a tag cloud and applied it to the headline of an article, where...

There have been no concrete developments in the ongoing saga of Chad Ochocinco since the NFL stepped in on Sunday and prevented the receiver formerly known as Chad Johnson from wearing a jersey sporting his new legal surname.

“Just before the New York Democratic primary, when I found myself undecided between Clinton and Obama, I said to Murdoch (a little flirtation, like a little gossip, softens him), ‘Rupert, I don’t know who to vote for - so I’m going to give you my vote. You choose’,” he wrote.
