  1. Huh.
  2. Nice article for Wikipedia's birthday. I was a guest editor and they mention my research.
  3. The first 10k edits at Wiki have been resurrected. Cool!
  4. Nice project.
  5. Interesting model. I think I like how they're doing this. That said, I'm still not quite sure what they are doing.
  6. Thomas Midgley, Jr. (May 18, 1889 – November 2, 1944), was an American mechanical engineer turned chemist. He developed both the tetra-ethyl lead (TEL) additive to gasoline and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and held over a hundred patents. While lauded at the time for his discoveries, today his legacy is seen as far more mixed considering the serious negative environmental impacts of these innovations. One historian remarked that Midgley "had more impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth's history."
  7. Awesome write-up on the history of the Wikipedia logo by the author of the very very first version.
