Techdirt: Why Full Text Feeds Actually Increase Page Views (The Freakonomics Explanation) on 2007-08-26
- Full text feeds makes the reading process much easier. It means it's that much more likely that someone reads the full piece and actually understands what's being said -- which makes it much, much, much more likely that they'll then forward it on to someone else, or blog about it themselves, or post it to Digg or Reddit or Slashdot or Fark or any other such thing -- and that generates more traffic and interest and page views from new readers, who we hope subscribe to the RSS feed and become regular readers as well. The whole idea is that by making it easier and easier for anyone to read and fully grasp our content, the more likely they are to spread it via word of mouth, and that tends to lead to much greater adoption than by limiting what we give to our readers and begging them to come to our site if they want to read more than a sentence or two.

How to Make Potato Roesti on 2007-02-11
- Family-Sized Potato Roesti Add to Favorites Shopping List
  The test kitchen prefers a roesti prepared with potatoes that have been cut through the large shredding disk of a food processor. It is possible to use a box grater to cut the potatoes, but they should be cut lengthwise, so you are left with long shreds. It is imperative to squeeze the potatoes as dry as possible. A well-seasoned cast-iron skillet can be used in place of the nonstick skillet. By adding fried eggs, ham, bacon, cheese, cooked onions, and/or tomatoes, (see below for specific suggestions), roesti can be turned into a light meal.

Boing Boing: Best history podcast -- BBC's "In Our Time" on 2006-12-08
- Best history podcast -- BBC's "In Our Time"
  
  One of my favorite podcasts is "In Our Time," a BBC Radio 4 radio program about the "history of ideas."
  
  Host Melvyn Bragg doesn't waste any time with long-winded introductions or the kind of bloviating that's made me swear off talk radio forever. Instead, he gathers together three or four experts and historians and starts drilling them with excellent questions about the particular show subject. The most recent show is about the speed of light: how it was discovered and what it means to science and technology.
  
  Recent programs include:
  
  Altruism - how can evolutionary biology explain it? [with guest Richard Dawkins, who dominates the other guests.]
  
  The Peasants' Revolt - a lasting legacy for popular uprising?
  
  Alexander Pope - "short is my date, but deathless my renown"
  
  The Poincare Conjecture - how a 19th century mathematician changed how we think about the shape of the universe
  
  The Encyclopedie - the great project of the Enlightenment
  
  The Needham Question - did China lay the foundations of modern science?

  To figure out how much you should give, it helps to know what other people are giving. We surveyed 60 workers in New York’s service sector about what they’ve gotten in the past and what they’re expecting this month.
