Ever got your mind into a headache state because of time zone calculations?
Then EveryTimeZone.com is for you: the best visualization of time zones I’ve ever seen.
Makes it easy to schedule meetings, or be on-time for a webinar organized anywhere in the world.
Or to say “happy new year” just in time for your friends a few continents apart.

Found back an awesome post from about 16 months back: Am I really a developer or just a good googler? – Scott Hanselman.
I admin that I’m both, not only for development, but also for life hacking and a lot of other stuff I do.
There is so much information, that you can’t know or remember everything.
In fact one of the reasons I started my own blog, contribute to sites like StackOverflow, newsgroups, and speak/visit at events (conferences, user groups, etc) is that I don’t know everything and the interaction helps me learn more.
One of the cool things, is when Googling for some information, I stumble upon one of my own blog entries or other online contributions (:

Helaas bevat de web-pagina Parkeren Amsterdam – Gemeente Amsterdam maar een heel klein kaartje.
Een beetje door de HTML heen bladeren lijdt tot een full-page kaart met parkeertarieven op http://amsterdam-maps.bma-collective.com/embed/parkeren/tarieven/index_desktop.html.
Handig!

A while ago, i came across this interesting question: Are there optimal days/hours to post questions in order to get visibility and answers? – Meta Super User.
The recommended time 1400 UTC is related to my blog post scheduling behaviour.
Virtually all my blog posts are either (when both apply at the same time, that is pure coincidence):
I schedule posts on Monday through Friday:
So why the time difference of about 8 hours between 0600 UTC and 1400 UTC?
That has to do with the public I generally interact with: software developers speaking English, mainly living in European and USA, with a minority in India, Asia and down-under.

Wow. Just wow:
“Those natural-looking photographs in the IKEA catalogues are amazing. I can’t believe they’re mostly CG. It’s incredible.”

The point made by Simson Garfield below reminds me I haven’t been at IKEA for a long long while (:
Verdana was everywhere, and now it was in one more place. It was becoming a non-font that we don’t even register. Which is precisely why it was so effective, and exactly why it was chosen.
