In one single day and night by Maulana Rumi

In one single day and one single night,
God deals with a hundred thousand things:
He takes away a whole people,
He separates those who were close and scatters each of them in a different country,
then He raises the wave of the sea of destiny and reunites those who were separated.

Path Finder 5.0

Cocoatech’s Path Finder hits version 5.0. It’s by far the best replacement I’ve seen for Apple’s Finder. Too bad this one’s for Mac OS 10.5+ only…

Congrats to the folks at A List Apart on their 10 year anniversary. It’s one of the best web design knowledge resources around.

Join Zeldman for a look back at the way we were—and why we were that way. Find out what we’ve done and who did it with us, peek into our process, and get a clue about what’s next.”

“Dark Flow” Outside Observable Universe

Been hearing a lot about “Dark Flow” lately…

“Dark Flow” Outside Observable Universe: “DynaSoar writes ‘NASA astrophysicists have discovered what they claim is something outside the observable universe exerting an effect on the observable. The material is pulling clusters of galaxies towards a region of space known not to contain sufficient matter to create the effect. They can only speculate on what the material is and how space might differ there: ‘In these regions, space-time might be very different, and likely doesn’t contain stars and galaxies (which only formed because of the particular density pattern of mass in our bubble). It could include giant, massive structures much larger than anything in our own observable universe. These structures are what researchers suspect are tugging on the galaxy clusters, causing the dark flow.”
