David Murray looks at a new book and mines 12 Ways to Make (And Keep) Friends.

Thanks to Mere Agency for sponsoring the blog this week with their excellent article Why Most Web Sites Are Hard To Use (And What To Do About It).

Disaster at the Speed of Sounds – Here’s an account of what happened on that ill-fated SpaceShipTwo flight.

Spurgeon
