Why and how does software get made? While Nicholas and I were pondering ways to make program development easier, I decided to waste some time and search google for "* driven development". Here are the results, sorted into some pretty arbitrary categories:
development driven by your desires:
resume driven development
curiosity driven development
employee driven development
brain driven development
asshole driven development (based on avoiding suffering, assuming that someone else is the asshole)
specification:
test driven development (evolving specifications)
model driven development (executable specification)
feature driven development
example driven development
documentation driven development (non-executable specifications)
storytest driven development
dialogue driven development
annotation driven development
bug driven development (implicit specification)
behavior driven development (implicit specification)
interface driven development
specification driven development
exception driven development
user-guide driven development
outside desires:
dilemma driven development
turmoil driven development
demand driven development
community driven development
task driven development
mission driven development
omoiyari driven development (Japanese for "what other people are thinking")
beverage:
tea driven development
coffee driven development
ill defined:
anecdote driven development
neo-liberal driven development
reality driven development
secret driven development
worksheet driven development
rup driven development
ontology driven development
pattern generator driven development
pajama driven development - working remotely
platform driven development
semantics driven development
diary driven development

Humorous gmail rendering problems
[So this blog's title is now out of date, since I'm back from Sweden. But, as they say, whatever. -Ed.]

Strange fruit, hanging from the web
Someone wrote a blog post right before they and their sister were murdered: http://toto247.xanga.com/261268578/item
The police used it to track down the killer.

Do your shoelaces come undone?
[Song of Sverige has been delivering the hard-hitting, relevant journalism that you demand for over two years, and we think you'll find this post to hit especially hard. -editor]
Do your shoelaces come undone? Mine do, all the time. Or at least, they did... Now, thanks in large part to Wikipedia's page on reef knots and Ian's Shoelace Site, I have corrected this terrible problem.
It is a fact almost too shameful to admit, but it is true... Unbeknownst to myself, I, a 26-year-old nearly-college-educated man, have been tying my shoes with granny knots for the whole of my adult life.
I'll leave the technical details out of this hard-hitting blog post, but if your shoelaces come undone, forcing you to resort to double knots, you too may have this problem.
Fortunately, there is hope. Visit Ian's page on slipping shoelaces, and rid yourself of undone-coming shoelaces once and for all!

Designing two nuclear reactors in latin while running a 10k
The bundles of uranium should be at least 50 centimeters...

Isn't it crazy that Pliny the Elder could time travel to the present and read about the atomic bomb in his mother tongue?

The most tortured physical analogy of all time
It is with great pleasure that I present to you, ladies and gentlemen, this, the most tortured physical analogy of all time.
It will come as no surprise that this analogy is from electrical engineering, a field filled nearly to bursting with absurd fictions.
Even if you aren't familier with basic electrical circuits, have a look at this circuit diagram of a camera's flash:
Now, compare and contrast with this baffling and bafflingly unrelated diagram of a cabin's water supply:
Which part of the circuit is the ball valve? What about the other valve? Where the hell is lake superior in the circuit diagram?
Has anybody ever encountered something worse?
Ironically enough, while writing this post, I finally got the analogy. It's really not too bad!
