The morning coffee, paywalls and penis electrification

The most interesting thing I have read yet about the Times paywall:

Why would I get any of my clients to talk to the Times or the Sunday Times if they are behind a paywall? Who can see it? I can’t even share a link and they aren’t on search. It’s as though their writers don’t exist anymore.

Interaction between electricity and the penis: science investigates.

Finally, the ultimate skydive: Felix Baumgartner plans to jump from 120,000 feet and break the sound barrier.

The morning coffee satisfies your searches

May 19th, 2010 No comments

This morning’s coffee is dedicated to the multitude of searchers who find their way to the blog. I have stats that tell me what you’re looking for: eruptions, tattoos and ghostbusters. Also, I like mustaches.

So here you are, Internet. Everything you wanted to see in a morning coffee, but were afraid to ask for.
