Throwing a single IRS Commissioner under the bus is like putting a band-aid on cancer. It doesn't reform pervasive corruption.

Another good thing about new Google+ is that it looks like some keyboard shortcuts are back, like "/" to reset to the top of page, which I'd missed.

Big news for those in the C++ space. I'm not but you'll never catch me hating or even suggesting that C++ isn't an important language; so much that we take for granted is built with it.

Saxon Altar
This is the ancient stone altar, which dates from Saxon times, in the church in Peterchurch near the Welsh border of Herefordshire. this altar dates from around 780AD. The windows in the apse appear to my untrained eye as being Norman ( so sometime after 1066AD)
This was taken through my 7.5mm Fisheye lens :)

For Burke, the social order is, in the broadest sense, what constitutes a nation. The concept of nationhood as social order is one reason why Burke “is instantly able to see France as a country which has, in effect, forgotten itself.” Burke’s “whole philosophy stands as a reproof,” Norman writes, “to the revolutionary rationalism inspired by Rousseau.”

Nice techie read in +Vanity Fair: "The sale of Instagram to Facebook for a cool billion in the spring of 2012 was the ultimate Silicon Valley fairy tale: 18 months from launch to offer. But, for co-founder and C.E.O. Kevin Systrom, it was more of a roller-coaster ride, with several missed opportunities, at least two “aha” moments, and one major reboot."

Had the great good fortune of playing a Hahn 228 today. Can't say enough good things about them— Chihoe Hahn is a superb craftsman and the fit and finish of his instruments are beyond the level of quality of any electric guitars I've yet played. The fretwork and neck finish are finely done, but the best thing about it was the sound and the bright, clean tones produced. Any thought of the Fender Custom Shop left my mind when I played the first chord after picking it up, that's how good they are.

Chihoe apparently makes his own hardware and painstakingly does all the hand work on each instrument himself. Highly, highly recommended!

I've read a lot of news about Y Combinator over the years, and many stories focus on the "nerd summer camp" element of the incubator rather than a hard-edged business angle. This one is no exception in the attempt to make the story sexier.

"To cover brick with plaster, and this plaster with fresco, is perfectly legitimate… But to cover brick with cement, and to divide this cement with joints that it may look like stone, is to tell a falsehood; and is just as contemptible a procedure as the other is noble." ~ John Ruskin, The Seven Lamps of Architecture (1849)
