A Common Nomenclature for Lego Families – "Hence, a survey. I asked fellow parents to donate their children for a few minutes, and name a selection of Lego pieces culled from the Lego parts store." i wonder if it the same differences exist in germanspeaking legoplaying families. [via b3ta]

Why do we have an IMG element? – "On February 25, 1993, Marc Andreessen wrote: I’d like to propose a new, optional HTML tag: IMG Required argument is SRC="url"." that’s how. the answer to why is, because we like pretty pictures of kittens.
Baguette Dropped From Bird's Beak Shuts Down The Large Hadron Collider (Really) – "The Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful particle accelerator, just cannot catch a break. First, a coolant leak destroyed some of the magnets that guide the energy beam. Then LHC officials postponed the restart of the machine to add additional safety features. Now, a bird dropping a piece of bread on a section of the accelerator has, according to the Register, shut down the whole operation." one bird and a piece of bread can do that? we are soooo doomed. black hole incoming.

EMI Sues BlueBeat for Selling Beatles Tunes Online – "The entire catalog of stereo Beatles albums will soon be legitimately available in digital, albeit physical, form. Apple Corp. and EMI announced the pre-order availability of 30,000 16-GB Apple-shaped USB drives containing 14 albums in lossless 24-bit FLAC (better than CD quality) and 320 Kbps MP3 formats, 13 short documentary films about the albums, album art, “rare photos” and expanded liner notes, all accessible directly or through a Flash player that automatically loads on Macs and PCs. It’s quite a statement — especially the 24-bit depth of the lossless files, which allows more gradations between volume levels than standard 16-bit (CD-quality) audio files. The only catch — they cost $280. EMI and Apple Corp. plan to release the drives on Dec. 8." when beatles joins the digital “revolution”. i quite like the dongle idea.
