On Web Page Usability

Great article from Smashing Magazine, 10 Useful Usability Findings and Guidelines.

Highly recommended.  I’m already working on my new NoT template, which will have less fluff in the head, and more content above the fold.  I’m also going to further cut down how many posts I display on the index page, making more judicious use of the more and excerpt functionality in WordPress.

If you would like me to write more about SEO, feel free to add a comment, and let me know what you would like to see discussed.

On Purpose and Conscience

I am so turned off on watching violence, but this one sequence of dialog from Rambo 4 sums up how I feel half of the time.

“There isn’t one of us that doesn’t wanna be someplace else.  But this is what we do, this is who we are.  Live for nothing, or die for something.”

Here is another good one, this time from Aaron Russo,

“You have to stand up for what is right in life, unless you do that, you’re a nothing.”

I believe that the calling of everyone with a conscience, is to leave the world better than they found it.  YMMV

On Communism

On the Mises community forums, Byzantine comments,

So yeah, I think communism is just pie-in-the-sky, like Shangri-La or the Big Rock Candy Mountain.  It is impossible in a world of scarcity and subjective value.

Which made me think how ironic communism is.

Without scarcity, there would be no purpose for communism, and due to scarcity, it is impossible.

The Constitution of Zero Authority

These days, I cringe every time some minarchist or Objectivist invokes the US Constitution in debate.

It is just a piece of paper. It has no authority. There are no citizens.

Most arguments for the state rest on externalities.  Is there a bigger externality than the state?  Does any other institution or organization create more property rights violations?

Wake up from your comfortable lies and hand-me-down mythologies.
