Interesting Things on the Internet: May 19th Edition

• Spurious Correlations. Who knew that eating sour cream increases motorbike fatalities... ;-)
• Where the brick breaks: augmented humans and the Internet of things. Louisa Heinrich does a great job of pitching how we should be designing for humans in the Internet of Things.
• The Fifty-nine Story Crisis. A gripping tale of an engineer discovering a flaw in his work, and doing the right thing to fix it.
• Unseen Sensors: Constantly Sensing but Rarely Seen. Ever wondered about all those grey and beige boxes dotted around the city? You will after reading this article from Mayo Nissen
• The "Drinking Coffee and Stealing WiFi" 2012 World Tour. I love hearing about the deep thinking that really good web people (such as Aaron) do about how to work with "digital" as a material. We need more of this - both the sharing, and the sort of people doing this work.
