    detroitblog  » Another one bites the dust

    Quoted: Another downtown skyscraper from Detroit’s golden years is being torn down, the victim of a city unwilling to maintain it and developers unwilling to invest in it.

    AdamsDrafting - Justified Text Versus Ragged-Right Text

    I hate full justification. Now I just need to win over the bosses. I'm not prepared to take on the two-spaces-after-a-period issue just yet, though.

    Quoted: After chewing that over, I’ve come to see that Ellen’s explanation makes sense. When it’s done properly, with good letter spacing, word spacing, and hyphenation, justified text is pleasing to the eye. And it also saves space, because playing with spacing and hyphenation allows you to fit more words on a page. But doing it properly requires a careful designer using a professional page-layout program. That’s a far cry from creating a document using Word or other word-processing software.

    Gawker and the Rage of the Creative Underclass -- New York Magazine

    Interesting story on the Gawker empire and its culture. Two of the main sources for this story quit Gawker since the story was published.

    Quoted: The Gawker.com editors stand mostly to the side, in a cool-kid clique. Although they may in some sense be outsiders with their noses pressed to the glass, horrified by a world of New York that doesn’t quite want to have them as members, in the bubble of blogs, they’re the elite...

    Cass Sunstein: "Republic.com 2.0" | Salon News

    Topic: The Internets are making us stupid. Discuss...on the Internets.

    Quoted: I don't like that Rush Limbaugh listeners call themselves "dittoheads." It's funny, but it's kind of horrible. Fox News is a self-identified conservative outlet. The more extreme elements on the left treat their fellow citizens as if they're idiots, or as if they're rich people who don't care about anybody. So, I look at some of our culture, I see demonization, and I think, where does that come from?

    Law Blog - WSJ.com : Spotlight On Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann

    Elliot Spitzer's successor is from the Cleve! The Midwest rises to the challenge again.

    Quoted: As the subprime mortgage crisis unfolded over the past few months, the Law Blog has thought, Jeez, Eliot Spitzer would have fun with this one. With New York's former AG now ensconsed in the governor's mansion, it looks like Ohio AG Mark Dann is attempting to assume the roll of Wall Street's scourge. In a WSJ profile, he calls the subprime mortage mess the largest financial scam in American history.

    "that's what she said"

    This woman analyzes the liability Michael incurs in each episode of "The Office" and employment law issues that arise - as you can guess, Michael running over Meredith and the aftermath led to some good discussion.

    Quoted: HRheroblogs.com - Blogs About Employment Law for HR Managers. That's what she said - Julie Elgar of Ford & Harrison blogs about NBC's The Office

    I noticed this article too - here's a take from my professor Brian Kalt, mentioned here before

    Quoted: There is an interesting article in today's New York Times (registration required) on a revival of Jewish culture in Poland. Before World War II, 10% of Poland's population was Jewish; now only about 0.3% is. But the unique culture of that 10% is apparently
