How long, exactly, is a year?
Science – The year, of course, is the time it takes for the Earth to orbit the Sun, right? Well, not exactly. It depends on what you mean by "year", and how you measure it. This takes a wee bit of explaining, so put down the champagne, take the lampshade off your head, and hang on.

Wil Wheaton Joins the Netscape Navigator Team!
Gadgets & Tech – Jason and I talked about it several times over the next couple of months, and eventually I got to see a preview of the new Netscape. I was really blown away by the changes they'd made, and their plans for its first year. There's a lot of philosophy underlying the whole project that dovetails with the stuff we're doing at Revision 3: just like I believe that on-demand is part of the future of television, I believe that socially-driven news sites like Fark, Digg, Reddit, and Netscape will eventually become the primary way people will get their news and information in the future. It was another no-brainer, and I accepted the job.

New Feature Teaser: Sink and Retract - The Netscape Blog
Gadgets & Tech – Tomorrow we're adding two new features to the site: The ability to add a Sink vote to stories you do not like and the ability to retract an accidental vote. "You now have the option to not only Vote for stories you like, but add a Sink vote to stories you don't like. This sink vote doesn't affect the actual ranking of the story, but each story will note whether it has mostly positive or mostly negative ratings above the story title, and it will list the number of votes to the number of sinks."
