I've just started using Git as my version control system for personal projects, so I needed to migrate my existing repositories over from Subversion. Turns out there's an easy way to do this, and it will even integrate cleanly with the Subversion repository if I want to keep using it. (I'd been using a combination of Subversion and Bazaar before, but Git seems to be emerging as the popular winner in the DVCS world. Which is to say: I wanted a Github account like all the cool kids.)

The most powerful revolutionary sentiment is not "let us unite to overthrow the old order" but "let's try this for a little bit and see if it works".

Data.gov is creating a searchable catalog of datasets compiled by various government agencies. There's a lot of fascinating and useful stuff out there--hopefully this will make it easier to find. Good stuff.

Internet Explorer adds spacing around <hr> tags that can be surprisingly hard to get rid of with CSS. The trick is to add a display: block style to the <hr> tag, as explained in this very helpful blog post.

If you have Firefox 3 with the Adblock extension, and some Flash content mysteriously fails to work for you, it's because of Adblock. It fails to show anything in <object> tags, regardless of whether it's supposed to be blocked or not. The fix is to uninstall it and use Adblock Plus instead. Adblock Plus is also better just in general. I recommend it if you don't like ads and would rather not see them any more.

The phrase "ham-fisted" should be used more often in PR.
