www.apple.com’s tag structure.
Websites as Graphs: Sala wrote some software that parses the tag structure of a website (tags, as in <div>, <p>, <img>, <a>, etc…), and visualizes the nesting of those tags as nodes in a connected graph.
He also set up a Java applet that lets you generate a graph of any website, it’s available here. Check www.reintegrate.us’s graph, it changes daily as new aggregated items work their way through the system.

DNA all over the place: The curse of untidiness
From the Economist:
“Are humans, then, hardwired to cling on to their possessions? If so, this primordial instinct joins a lengthening list of maladaptations to modern life. Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may have suited a nomad, because the itch to wander off led to serendipitous discoveries of food and mates. The ability to store food as fat was handy if food was sometimes scarce. Such adaptations may have done the human race nicely when it was chasing wildebeest in the savannah, but they are worse than useless in the Googleplex. The fat, the impulsive and the untidy are genetically normal, but they are equipped for yesteryear. The thin, the focused and the neat are freaks—but they are cut out for success.”
An eye for annai?

The Writing on the Wall
Seen on a whiteboard in a hallway at Google:
You are in a twisty maze of offices, all alike.
You have
Laptop
Backpack
> I want to cast Magic Missile
You do not have a wand in your inventory
> Summon flying armadillo
The flying armadillo is here, flapping its scaly wings
> Polish armadillo
Nope, it’s from Germany
> Serve armadillo
Armadillo gets served
> Am I at Microsoft?
You see a long, dark hallway with no light in sight (Yes)
