  Making a bold move 

  As you may remember I was changing job exactly one year ago. I left big corporation in favor to a small company (Lunar Logic Polska) who do mainly startups. The whole “startup world” was new to me at the time but it quickly became a way more pleasurable environment than my previous job was.
  So enjoyable that couple months ago I decided I want to taste it even more.

  So that’s the bold move I want to talk about. I’m leaving my current job in the coming weeks to focus entirely on startups and contracting business. I will be leaving some great folks @ LLP, but it’s all about moving forward, and I feel it’s the right moment to do so.

  No more details at the moment, but waaay more is coming!!

      I don’t even want to think about it – let’s not make it a “March rule” ;-)

  My edge site featured on HTML5 gallery website 

  My experimental website edge.jakubpawlowicz.com has been featured on html5gallery.com – a place living on the edge of HTML and CSS technologies. Think that’s cool.

    Hello from Russia!
    Can I quote a post in your blog with the link to you?

  Jar of jam 

  Tuesday, 1PM: buying a jar of apricot jam in Paris – delicious with bread or crepes;
  Tuesday, 4PM: putting it into my personal bag (mistake!);
  Tuesday, 7PM: guy from the security gate on the airport accused me of taking a forbidden jar of jam to the plane’s deck as I may throw it at the plane’s cockpit, open a window while flying and throw it into the engine or simply detonate onboard. Sure, I’m mostly known as MacGyver and could have used that jam as an ingredient of TNT which I could have made by mixing the jam with soap from plane’s toilet, ketchup from sandwiches, and cola sold by plane staff. But those smart bastards figured out my master plan…
  Wednesday: Figuring out if they have already detonated my jar of jam or disarmed the jam by consuming it.

  Conclusion: This is madness?! Madness? This is airport!!

  Learn by play 

  I found Wolfram Alpha knowledge engine a really great way to learn science-related things. If you have a moment (or two as once you start playing with it is hard to stop) check it out.

  PS) I was trying to find what are the average temperatures in Marseille in September and Google couldn’t help me with it. For WA it was a piece of cake. Cool! :-)

  Quick: A really nice comparison pattern 

  Yesterday I found a DrawIt (really good vector graphics tool for Mac) page updated to a new layout. What brought my attention was a comparison between full and lite version of DrawIt:

  

  It is really well done. Stripped down to minimum. Like it!
