1. 20 Things I Learned About Browsers and the Web by the Google Chrome team is both really informative and cleverly presented. It features illustrations by Christopher Niemann.

2. Speaking of the Chrome, I would make it my sole browser except for one strange quirk.

As a vivid illustration, Nietzsche cited Beethoven's sketchbooks, which reveal the composer's slow, painstaking process of testing and tinkering with melody fragments like a chemist constantly pouring different concoctions into an assortment of beakers. Beethoven would sometimes run through as many as sixty or seventy different drafts of a phrase before settling on the final one. "I make many changes, and reject and try again, until I am satisfied," the composer once remarked to a friend. "Only then do I begin the working-out in breadth, length, height and depth in my head."
