What a memorable month it’s been. My sister graduated college, my Dad turned 60, and the weather went from bad to good. Vimeo, despite attacks and hardware meltdowns, grew an unbelievable 45%.
Right now I’m sitting outside watching the sun rise and listening to the birds wake up. I’ve been up all night programming and plotting, too excited to sleep. It’s gonna be a good summer.
Don’t make a goddamn sound cause I’m coming… I’m coming to your town
I love upbeat songs with mean lyrics

I’m glad I got to see this when I was a kid

Very clever!This is ingenious and a little scary. Normally, Javascript doesn’t have access to your browser’s history URLs. But Aza Raskin found a way:
How does SocialHistory.js know? By using a cute information leak introduced by CSS. The browser colors visited links differently than non-visited links. All you have to do is load up a whole bunch of URLs for the most popular social bookmarking sites in an iframe and see which of those links are purple and which are blue. It’s not perfect (which, from a privacy perspective, is at least a little comforting) but it does get you 80% of the way there. The best/worst part is that this information leak probably won’t be plugged because it’s a fundamental feature of the browser.
Incredible.
Now any website has a reliable way to detect whether you have recently visited any particular URL.
This probably isn’t good.
