I suspect that if you get a huge influx of public posts then yours may get drowned out. Can you set up a separate feed for the public posts? Spooning, that makes me giggle!

I've recently been realizing that the most important lesson I've learned were in elementary school, and all the other crap that I've learned and done since is build upon those core ideas. spooning? yes! we're talkin ice cream, right? yea, I'd love a scoop! yay, ice cream!

He is a great mentor and someone who knows a lot about testing. Will, I love how you continually rub in that I did not go to SXSW, haha. I will try my best to be there next year. UGT is still available. I am debating removing the Okdork public posts from the feed. I expect more and more posts in the future so I would prefer it did not. I wonder if people mind, do you?

It is amazing at how many products get launched with little to no testing done. BTW, I like how you opened the blog up to other posters, does that eliminate user generated Tuesdays? BTW, BTW, SxSW was a blast, I made it back in one piece. Wish you could have been there! Will Noah,

It's easy to be a critic of other people's sites, but much harder to criticize one's own endeavors objectively. On your own projects you're always weighing how much work it would take to do something when considering changing something, while feeling free to offer advice on major architectural changes to someone else's site :) geni.com is a great recommendation btw. Thanks for these tips.
