This is a great list, I'd also recommend Ross's books on probability as starting points.

Is it really? Perhaps I'm missing something, but this service appears to have nothing to do with the blog author's post.

While the graph is nice and this was a great visualization example in newLisp, drawing conclusions from the graph alone is not really possible without some amount of statistical analysis (e.g., de-meaning or accounting for seasonality somehow).

And to the author's credit, the observations made are not conclusions in themselves.

I found out the other day that DreamHost also stores control panel passwords in the clear.

The relative value of blog content vs. actual news items may be quite low in the majority of posts, looking across the general quality / salience of NYT blog posts. Though some blogs like DealBook and Economix probably have high readership, I wonder if people will really be willing to pay for opinionated tidbits.

Though not quite what you're looking for, StyleForum (mentioned in another comment) has a "What are you Wearing Right Now" thread in the Men's Clothing section... you can actually try out different combos and receive (mostly) constructive feedback.

Wow. Despite their being devastatingly anti-consumer, I must admit that some of the ASCAP arguments, though rebutted by precedence, are very clever. They must have a seriously twisted legal counsel to make some of those allegations.

You can probably skip Volume I.
