this is not only beautiful, but they link to their sources. although, i wish they would change their wording from 'showing tangible' to 'showing measurable' human health benefits. i'm a stickler. (#) -

Ataraxia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It signifies the state of robust tranquility that derives from eschewing faith in an afterlife, not fearing the gods because they are distant and unconcerned with us, avoiding politics and vexatious people, surrounding oneself with trustworthy and affectionate friends and, most importantly, being an affectionate, virtuous person, worthy of trust.

Gamasutra: Erin Hoffman’s Blog - Life, Addictive Game Mechanics, And The Truth Hiding In Bejeweled
Addiction is not about what you DO, but what you DON'T DO because of the replacement of the addictive behavior.
The reason why what defines addiction for one person may not define addiction for another person, even given quantified equal stretches of time action or consumption, is because addiction is not about the action, but about the individual person.
This is why merely resisting addiction of any kind is not enough. This is why — although some activities are more broadly compelling than others — virtually any activity can become an addiction. What addictive behavior does is reveal underlying anxiety (and often depression, which itself is nebulous) and lack of desire to perform the things we're “supposed to” be doing. (#) -

Shirky: Situated Software
Situated software… is software designed in and for a particular social situation or context. This way of making software is in contrast with what I'll call the Web School (the paradigm I learned to program in), where scalability, generality, and completeness were the key virtues. (#) -

haque :: design + research
The domain of architecture has been transformed by developments in interaction research, wearable computing, mobile connectivity, people-centered design, contextual awareness, RFID systems and ubiquitous computing. These technologies alter our understanding of space and change the way we relate to each other. We no longer think of architecture as static and immutable; instead we see it as dynamic, responsive and conversant. Our projects explore some of this territory. (#) -

Official Google Webmaster Central Blog: Handling legitimate cross-domain content duplication
We've recently discussed several ways of handling duplicate content on a single website; today we'll look at ways of handling similar duplication across different websites, across different domains. For some sites, there are legitimate reasons to duplicate content across different websites — for instance, to migrate to a new domain name using a web server that cannot create server-side redirects.
