Threadcakes Cake Competition

Website design, logo design, concept

Inspired by the unique, community-driven design of Threadless' t-shirts, Loves Threadless decided to hold an independent contest. The premise was simple: bake and decorate a cake based on your favorite Threadless design. The cake contest quickly became extremely popular, receiving over 115 entries. The Threadcakes site was then featured on popular news aggregator Digg.com, driving over 40,000 unique visitors to the Cake Gallery in a single 24-hour period. The winners of the contest were also featured on a Fuse TV segment.

Is PHP 5.3 Terminal? Well, It's Getting One For Namespaces

A language lives and dies by how easy it is for a person to express something within that language. But the ease in expression is much like the type I and type II error rate in a statistical test: as you adjust one to be nearer to where you want it to be, the other gets farther away. So the architects of a language have to choose between adding more keywords and constructs or having longer, but simpler sequences of existing ones.

PHP is a very easy language to learn and use because it has a syntax that is a simplified sampling from C++/Java and Perl. People who use these languages pick up PHP fast, and people who haven't used any languages often learn PHP with as much ease as they would learn Perl.
